Can I Bring a Personal Injury Claim on Behalf of a Child? 

One of the most upsetting experiences a parent can go through is an injury to their child. You never want your child to be hurt. You will likely be even more upset when you learn your child’s injury could have been prevented if the party responsible had been more careful. 

If your child’s accident was caused by negligence or wrong behavior, you likely want justice. You are asking yourself, “Can I bring a personal injury claim on behalf of a child?”

Suing for an Injury to a Child

Your child needs you to fight for them because they can’t fight for themselves. Your child was hurt because someone else couldn’t be bothered to watch out for others’ safety. Filing a claim on behalf of your child is your right as a parent. You can fight to get your child justice and compensation.

The claim process begins with an investigation into the accident. Look at all aspects of your child’s case. Find out what happened and who was responsible. Find evidence that can prove fault, your child’s injuries, and damages.

Your child was needlessly injured and justice could be had through an injury claim. If you believe the claim process sounds too challenging for you, reach out to a lawyer for help.

Personal injury lawyers have experience dealing with personal injury claims. They can put your case together, calculate your losses, deal with insurance companies, and even go to trial if that step is required.
