Parents do everything they can to protect their children from getting hurt, but unfortunately not all accidents can be prevented. Injuries to young children are some of the devastating to families, especially when these injuries are due to the negligent actions of another person. When your child is injured and in pain, you may feel hopeless, alone, and you may be unsure where to turn, especially when the bills start piling up.
This is where a child personal injury lawyer, like the lawyers at Mike Agruss Law can help.
A child personal injury lawyer can help families whose child has sustained injuries due to no fault of their own to recover financial compensation. These funds are often needed for things such as medical treatments that can be ongoing and life-long, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of normal life, lost wages, wrongful death, and punitive damages, to name a few.
Child personal injury lawyers specialize in tort law, which deals with civil litigation resulting from negligence. Personal injury lawyers want to help victims to become whole again, as well as discouraging others from committing similar negligent offenses.
Common examples of child personal injury practice include medical malpractice and birth injuries, motor vehicle accidents, defective toys and products, caretaker negligence, playground, trampoline, and amusement park accidents, and summer camp and school-related injuries.
Duties of Personal Injury Lawyers
Child personal injury lawyers perform many important duties while assisting their clients. These include:
- Explaining your rights-A child personal injury lawyer will understand the law, how it pertains to your child’s specific case, and they will work within the statute of limitations.
- Provide advice-Personal injury lawyers will walk their clients through the complicated legal system and help you to understand complicated legal jargon, interpret medical records, deal with insurance companies, file extensive paperwork, and offer advice on your next steps, as well as offering objective opinions about your case.
- Complete an investigation-Personal injury lawyers have many more tools at their disposal than the average person and they use their own investigators to document and recreate accidents, interview witnesses, and develop theories as to how your child’s accident or injury occurred.
- Assess damages-Many families of accident victims think of the short term, especially when dealing with phone calls from bill collectors, extensive medical treatments and appointments, and a child in pain. A child personal injury lawyer can assess your child’s damages and with the help of an expert, determine what the lifetime impact of their injuries may be.
- Represents in court-Most personal injury claims are settled long before they proceed to court, however if an insurance company denies your child’s claim, or they try to settle for an offer that benefits them and not your injured child, a personal injury lawyer can represent them to get the compensation they deserve.
