Personal Injury Claims for Children
When a child is hurt in an accident, parents or legal guardians can file a personal injury claim on their behalf. These cases have unique rules and protections.
Common Cases Involving Children
- Car accidents
- School injuries
- Dog bites
- Unsafe playgrounds or products
Compensation
Claims may include medical bills, future care, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. Courts often review and approve any settlement involving a minor.
Filing Deadline
Most states allow more time to file a claim when the victim is a minor. However, waiting too long can still harm the case.
