Tallahassee Car Accident Attorneys for Children's Claims
If your child was injured in a motor vehicle accident, your first priority should be to get immediate medical care for the child.
You should also discuss the injuries and potential legal claims with a lawyer who understands the special demands of personal injury litigation involving young people. Contact Baker & Baker in Pensacola for a free consultation about your family's legal rights.
The auto industry and government safety regulators have long known that it's difficult to design a crashworthy car that equally protects the adult who drives it and the child who rides in it. Safe design for a grownup can expose a child to distinct hazards involving components from the airbag to the neck support. That's why most states now have child safety seat requirements, but a defective car seat can create additional risks of its own.
Our law firm's investigation of an accident scenario involving injured children will always look to the circumstances that might have caused a particular injury to the victim. We also know that the recovery experience for children is different from that of adults. Because fractures and soft tissue injuries in particular can be complicated by the child's growth, it can be difficult to arrive at a confident prognosis for many children's injuries.
Our attorneys work with outstanding pediatric, orthopedic and child development experts to ensure that the full impact of a car accident on your child is understood as completely as possible. We don't recommend accepting a settlement offer until we're confident that it's adequate to meet future treatment needs.
