Types of Child Injuries We Handle
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car accidents, truck collisions, pedestrian incidents, and bicycle accidents cause serious injuries to children every year. We represent families whose children were injured in these accidents, whether the child was a passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist. From rear-end collisions to intersection crashes, we understand the unique vulnerabilities children face on the road. Our pedestrian accident lawyers and motorcycle accident attorneys handle these cases with the same dedication we bring to all child injury claims.
Premises Liability Injuries
Children get hurt on property that isn’t properly maintained or secured. Playground accidents, swimming pool drownings, daycare negligence, and inadequate security at commercial properties all fall under premises liability. We hold property owners accountable for failing to protect children. Drowning accidents and other water-related injuries require immediate legal action to preserve evidence and protect your family’s rights.
Product Liability and Defective Products
Dangerous toys, defective children’s products, and poorly designed equipment cause preventable injuries. We pursue product liability claims against manufacturers and sellers who put unsafe products in the hands of children.
How Child Injury Cases Differ from Adult Claims
Child injury cases involve unique legal considerations that require focused knowledge. In Arizona, the statute of limitations for a minor to file a personal injury claim doesn’t begin until the child turns 18. This gives the child more time to sue for their pain and suffering. However, WARNING: The parents’ claim for medical bills often expires in just two years. If you wait until your child turns 18 to call a lawyer, you may permanently lose the right to be reimbursed for the hospital bills you paid.
When a child is injured, a parent or guardian must represent the child’s legal interests. The court must approve any settlement to ensure the money protects the child’s long-term needs. This is where our experience matters—we work with medical experts, life care planners, and economic specialists to calculate what your child will need for a lifetime of care, therapy, and treatment.
We also understand that children’s injuries often have long-term consequences. A brain injury at age 8 affects education, employment, and quality of life for decades. Our team assembles the right experts to document these future impacts and fight for full compensation. Spinal cord injuries and other catastrophic injuries require specialized knowledge of lifetime care costs.
What You Need to Prove in a Child Injury Claim
To win a child injury case, we must establish four key elements:
First, we prove that the defendant owed a duty of care to your child. Property owners owe a duty to keep their premises safe. Drivers owe a duty to follow traffic laws. Manufacturers owe a duty to make safe products.
Second, we show that the defendant breached that duty through negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. This might mean a driver ran a red light, a property owner failed to fix a hazard, or a manufacturer sold a defective product. Hit-and-run accidents and distracted driving cases require proving the driver’s breach of duty.
Third, we demonstrate that the breach caused your child’s injury. We use medical records, expert testimony, and accident reconstruction to prove the connection between the defendant’s actions and your child’s harm.
Fourth, we document the damages—the financial and non-financial losses your child suffered. This includes medical expenses, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and future care needs.
Damages Available in Child Injury Cases
We pursue every category of damages available under Arizona law to secure your child’s future. This includes ‘General Damages’ for the child’s lost childhood and pain, and ‘Special Damages’ for the tangible financial costs of their care.
Our Approach to Child Injury Cases
We handle every child injury case with a clear process designed to maximize your recovery.
We start with a free consultation where we listen to your story, answer your questions, and explain your legal options. There’s no pressure and no obligation. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we win. Contact our Phoenix personal injury attorneys to schedule your consultation today.
Next, we conduct a thorough investigation. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and physical evidence. We photograph accident scenes and preserve evidence before it disappears. In car accident cases, we obtain dashcam footage and traffic camera recordings.
We then consult with medical experts, life care planners, and economic specialists to understand the full scope of your child’s injuries and future needs. These experts help us build a strong case and calculate fair compensation. For birth injuries, we work with obstetric specialists and pediatric neurologists.
We negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance company from a position of strength. We present evidence, expert reports, and legal arguments that make settlement the smart choice for them.
If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we prepare your case for trial. We’re not afraid to take cases to court, and juries respond to our thorough preparation and passionate advocacy for injured children.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed and involved. You decide whether to accept a settlement or proceed to trial.
Frequently Asked Questions About Child Injuries
What is the statute of limitations for a child injury case in Arizona?
In Arizona, a minor has until age 18 to file a personal injury lawsuit. The statute of limitations clock doesn’t start running until the child’s 18th birthday. This gives families time to pursue justice, but we recommend contacting us as soon as possible after an injury so we can preserve evidence and investigate while details are fresh. Learn more about how long you have to file a personal injury claim in Phoenix.
How much is my child’s injury case worth?
The value depends on the severity of the injury, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and long-term impacts on your child’s life. A minor playground injury might be worth thousands, while a catastrophic brain injury could be worth millions. We evaluate each case individually and provide a realistic estimate after reviewing medical records and consulting with experts.
Do I need to hire a lawyer for my child’s injury claim?
You have the right to handle a claim yourself, but insurance companies are experienced at minimizing payouts to unrepresented families. A lawyer levels the playing field, handles negotiations, and ensures your child’s settlement is approved by the court and properly structured for their long-term needs.
What if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?
We pursue recovery through uninsured motorist coverage on your own insurance policy, the defendant’s personal assets, or other available sources. We explore every avenue to get your child compensated. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can provide critical protection for your family.
How long does a child injury case take to resolve?
Simple cases might settle in months. Complex cases with serious injuries can take 1-3 years or longer. We work as efficiently as possible while never rushing to accept inadequate settlements. Your child’s future is worth the time it takes to get it right.
Will my child’s case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court. This preparation often leads to better settlements because insurance companies know we’re ready to fight. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we take your case to trial.
