Children Injury Lawyer Bensalem In addition, we have represented parents in Wrongful Death Claims in which they lost their children prematurely due to the injuries a child sustained at the hands of another. Although no monetary compensation can ever bring back the child or restore your family to normalcy again, holding the accountable person financially responsible can help you to find some closure and serves as a way to ensure that the person’s actions are deterred—preventing the same thing from happening to other families in the future.

Successful Children Injuries Claims

A seasoned personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process on behalf of your child. In all cases of successful children injuries claims, the attorney will need to prove that certain elements existed that led to filing the claim. These may include:

  • The person causing the injury had a duty to exercise reasonable care in the same way that any other person would in a similar situation.
  • The person causing the injury breached the duty of reasonable care by falling outside the expected actions of a reasonable person.
  • The actions of the aforementioned person were the proximate and actual cause of the injuries in question.
  • The injury was serious enough to warrant compensation.

Compensation for Children Injuries

The damages sought in a case involving a child typically consist of medical bills (both current and future costs of care, rehab, and therapy if needed), income lost for the parent, future loss of income for the child (in the case of disabling injuries), pain, suffering, mental anguish and emotional distress. In addition, if the child is disfigured permanently as a result of the accident, then awards for that may be in addition to any general awards.
