What to Do After a Child Injury?

After your child is injured, you might be reeling or feel lost. At The Champion Firm, we have some recommendations for what to do when your child is hurt because of someone’s reckless behavior.

• Get Medical Care ASAP Even if your child’s injury doesn’t seem extreme right away, getting medical attention quickly is best. Err on the side of caution: The injury could be worse than you realize, and waiting could only worsen matters. Call emergency services or take your child to a medical provider. Our team can help connect you to trustworthy doctors and the resources you need to address their condition after initial emergency medical care has been provided.
• Keep Receipts & Medical Records Hold onto all documentation related to your child’s injury. These records reflect the economic impact your family sustained and show the extent of your child’s injury. Your child injury attorney will include these records in your insurance claim to pursue compensation through the at-fault party’s insurance or in a lawsuit.
• Let Your Lawyer Deal With Insurers When people try to negotiate their own settlements or offer statements to the other sides insurance about a child’s injury, it usually doesn’t help the victim. The insurance companies want to settle things fast and for less. They do not have your child’s best interest in mind. So, let a lawyer that’s committed to your family’s well-being and security handle the communications with any insurers.
• Don’t Post About Your Child’s Injury As tempting as it is to share your child’s experience with friends, family, or followers, doing so could hurt your case. The defendant’s attorney will look for any opening to question if your family’s experience is as bad as you claim. They can use photos, comments, or other evidence to create doubt about the severity of your injuries. Don’t jeopardize your case by posting about the accident.
• Consult an Injury Lawyer The sooner you hire an attorney to help you after your child’s injury, the better. Filing an insurance claim for their injury can take time. Working with an attorney expedites the process and keeps everything moving forward efficiently. At Champion, we want to make the claim process as simple as possible. We can meet with you at our office, your home, the hospital, or by phone or video conference.

Atlanta Child Injury Accidents

Nearly any type of accident can cause severe injuries to children. Some accidents appear more frequently in the civil court system.

• Car accidents – Children are very vulnerable to motor vehicle accident injuries. They could experience internal injuries, bone breaks and fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and psychological trauma.
• Bicycle accidents – Children riding bikes can potentially collide with other obstacles, pedestrians, or be struck by motor vehicles. Road rash, bone fractures, muscle sprains and strains, and concussions are common in bike wrecks.
• Pedestrian accident – When a child is struck by a vehicle, they could sustain traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, organ failure, broken and fractured bones, and lacerations, not to mention more life-threatening injuries.
• Dog bites – Dogs often suddenly attack or bite small children. Children can receive severe emotional trauma, lacerations, scars, or other wounds from such injuries.
• Property accidents – In premises liability accidents, your child could get hurt on someone’s property because of negligence. They might suffer severe cuts, bruises, broken and fractured bones, and brain trauma.
• Medical malpractice – You should be able to trust your child’s healthcare providers. If they make mistakes, your child could suffer catastrophic injuries. Misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, and surgical errors are just a few examples of how children can be victims of medical malpractice.
• Birth injuries – Birth injuries can affect a child’s entire future. If they lack necessary oxygen or suffer fractured or broken bones during labor or delivery, children can suffer severe physical disabilities that require lifelong attention.

Who’s Responsible for Your Child’s Injury?

The type of accident your child was involved in will help your attorney figure out who should be held accountable for their damages. You can expect your child injury lawyer to hire experts where necessary to identify liable parties and provide expertise in their field.

Some of the parties who may be held accountable for your child’s injuries include:

• Property owners – Premises liability accidents often cause children harm. This is particularly true when there is an “attractive nuisance,” such as an easily accessible trampoline or swimming pool. Property owners can be held accountable if they don’t take sufficient precautions to protect younger children.
• Daycares and schools – Daycares and school systems must keep your children safe. If they fail to prevent bullying, make necessary repairs, or address unsafe conditions, these facilities can be found liable for your child’s injuries. In some cases, individuals could be found culpable as well.
• Equipment or parts manufacturers – When products are dangerous or defective due to malfunctioning parts or insufficient safety warning labels, companies can be ordered to compensate you and your child for the injuries your child sustained.
• Babysitters or caretakers – Anyone responsible for protecting a child can be held accountable if their negligent supervision causes your child’s injuries. Caretakers, teachers, daycare workers, babysitters, bus drivers, and clergy members can be held accountable if their negligence or intentionally harmful conduct causes your child’s injuries.
