CHILD AUTO INJURIES
The Children's Law Team
Auto accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries and death in children. Your child might find themselves in a few different situations that could cause injuries to themselves or others. In our auto accidents section, you can learn more about these situations. If your child was injured in some type of motor vehicle accident, you can learn how to proceed with this information.
Passenger Injuries
If your child is the passenger in a car – whether that car is your own or someone else’s – they could sustain serious injuries in an accident. On our child passenger injuries page, we discuss some common car safety tips that you should go over with your child. This will minimize any injuries in a crash. In addition, this page gives instructions on what to do after an accident occurs to keep your child safe and help them get the compensation that they deserve.
School Bus Accidents
School bus accidents are actually relatively rare, but this does not mean that they do not occur. If your child is injured in a school bus accident, it is important to determine the extent of their injuries as well as who is responsible for the accident. These issues are discussed in more detail on our school bus accidents page.
Getting Help
If you believe that another driver was at-fault for your child’s injuries, you should contact a child injury lawyer as soon as possible. Auto accidents are time sensitive, and you will have a limited amount of time to bring a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
Our lawyers have worked with child injury cases and motor vehicle cases. This means that we can look at your child’s case from all angles and determine the best way to approach the case. For more information, contact our office at 203-925-9200.
