In a child’s personal injury case, they are entitled to similar compensation for their injuries and damages as most other personal injury cases depending on the circumstances of their accident. Typically, children can seek recovery for the ways the accident caused them physical, mental, and other harm.
Generally, parents or legal guardians will sue on behalf of their injured child. This can include medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability and disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of normal life. If the negligent act that caused their accident was especially egregious, your child may also be entitled to punitive damages.
Because a parent or guardian is responsible for the care of the injured child while they recover, they may also be entitled to compensation for their losses as well. This may include lost wages, loss of companionship, wrongful death, pain, and suffering, and funeral and burial expenses in the event the accident proved fatal.
Each personal injury case is unique and so will be what your child can obtain in compensation. An experienced personal injury lawyer can review your child’s case and determine exactly what compensation they may be entitled to.
