Injuries to Children & Minors

In the United States, children younger than 18 cannot file a lawsuit without help from an adult. That adult may be a parent, guardian, or simply a concerned friend. However, the reality is that adolescents and children are injured at a higher rate than adults. In most cases, these injuries are caused by a range of accidents involving fires, playground equipment, motor vehicles, accidental poisonings, and swimming pools.

Childhood accidents may result in serious disability. Our firm is experienced in handling cases involving injured minors, and we understand that the costs of dealing with ongoing treatments and permanent disabilities can be devastating to the child's family or caretaker. A personal injury lawsuit filed on the child's behalf can assist the family with present and future disability-related costs by obtaining monetary compensation.
