Children's Injuries
Has your child been seriously injured?
Has your child been seriously injured due to the negligent act of another person? Children’s claims require special sensitivity in their handling. Parents of children sometimes hesitate to bring actions on behalf of their children because they want to protect them from involvement in the legal system.
I will honor your concern about your child and do everything possible to shield them from the legal process. The first thing the insurance adjuster will usually want to do is take your child’s statement about what happened. They must have your permission before taking a statement, and sometimes will even try to take one when you are not present. Your child should not be subjected to giving a statement. See Comparative Fault and Taped Statements for more information.
Also, there are special laws in Indiana that apply only to settlement of children’s personal injury actions. That is why it is so important to call me for a consultation. My consultations are free.
