Cranford Child Injury Lawyer

No parent wants to imagine harm coming to their child, whether on their watch or out in the world. As a child grows, they become more open to the risk of an accident.

If your child or the child or a loved one is injured, a Cranford child injury lawyer from Voto & Cavalli, P.C., can help. Our compassionate personal injury attorneys can help you file a lawsuit and receive compensation.

Causes and Types of Child Injuries

Children can become injured in many everyday scenarios and different locations. For example, a child might trip and fall, fall off equipment, or otherwise be involved in an accident in places such as schools, playgrounds, and amusement parks.

Whether a child is supervised may factor into an accident and into holding someone responsible. If a child is entrusted to another adult or is part of a supervised group, the adult or group supervisor must keep the child safe. At the same time, a location itself could pose a risk and not properly account for it, such as a public pool without signage or a public park with dangerous features.

Due to their still-developing bodies, children can be more susceptible to serious injury than adults. For example, a fall that might result in a bruise or a cut to an adult could break a bone or cause internal damage to a smaller child. In severe cases, a loss of life could ensue, especially if surrounding adults are not trained in first aid or fail to supervise properly.

The first instinct of a parent is to care for their injured child, but once their child is stable and safe, thoughts can and should turn to bringing a lawsuit. A child injury attorney in Cranford can assist with starting and proving a claim based on an accident.

Child Injury Claims and Damages

A child’s injury can upend their life both physically and mentally. Their injuries, and to some extent the parent’s injuries, can be expressed as recoverable legal damages when claimed and proven.

The costs of medical care for an injured child after an accident are one category of damages that can be easily calculated, though the cost of future care might also be claimed. Other damages can include the loss of a relationship with a child who has passed away or become incapacitated, the loss of the child’s value to the household and family, and the child’s pain and suffering.

A parent suing on behalf of their child will need to show who was responsible and how, and they must do so before the statute of limitations, the deadline to file, expires. The two-year statute of limitations is tolled until the child turns 18, which means a parent or guardian has until the child’s 18th birthday, and then two years from that date, to file a claim.

Contacting an attorney should be the first step in protecting a child’s interests in the present and future. A Cranford child injury lawyer can organize a claim, gather evidence of what happened, and ensure a parent does not lose the opportunity to recover on behalf of their child.
