Legal Help for Children Injured in Car Accidents
While anyone can suffer serious injuries in an auto accident‚ children are unfortunately at risk of suffering some of the worst injuries. Any injury that can be suffered by an adult occupant in a car crash can be suffered by a child‚ with a higher likelihood that such injuries may have long-term or fatal consequences. Child injuries not only seriously affect the victim‚ but his or her parents‚ who may often feel powerless to protect or help their injured child. By understanding what injuries your child may suffer in a crash‚ you can be better prepared to prevent such injuries and be able to hold responsible parties liable for their role in your accident. At the Jurewitz Law Group Injury & Accident Lawyers‚ our San Diego child accident lawyers believe that everyone should be aware of their rights to protect their children.
When a child is injured in a car accident caused by another party’s actions‚ parents have the right to pursue financial compensation for all losses from the at-fault party and their insurance.
Physical‚ Emotional‚ and Financial Losses of a Child Injury
The losses experienced by a child can last far beyond a crash‚ with the physical damage taking months to recover from‚ or possibly becoming permanent‚ and the traumatic nature of the accident causing a child victim to suffer mental anguish. These losses can last into adulthood‚ causing far-reaching consequences for both the child and his or her parents.
Parents can easily suffer emotional damages from seeing their child severely and suddenly injured in events that are out of their control. Additionally‚ the financial ramifications of the collision and all needed medical care for the child‚ which may last for years‚ will be felt directly by the parents.
Beginning the Road to Recovery in San Diego
In order for a child to recover to the best of his or her abilities‚ experienced medical care will need to be provided in order to properly assess all injuries and begin providing needed care. This care will deal with emergency medical situations and also help to begin the healing process. In order to cope with emotional traumaof a vehicle or school bus accident‚ psychological counseling may be needed to help children understand‚ accept‚ and move forward from their losses. Many therapists are trained to work directly with children‚ understanding their unique needs and the styles of therapy that will help them best.
When a child is injured in a car accident caused by another party’s actions‚ parents have the right to pursue financial compensation for all losses from the at-fault party and their insurance.
