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.
