Injuries to Minors and Children
Generally, anyone under the age of 18 cannot file a lawsuit without the help of a parent, adult or guardian. If your child is injured in any type of accident, act quickly to protect your child’s rights and get your family the compensation it deserves.
Miami attorney Justin Ziegler understands that children are at a high risk of injury in everyday accidents. A child may be more severely injured in a car accident than an adult, and children face a higher risk of drowning at swimming pools. If another person’s negligence or inattention resulted in injury or your child’s accidental death, call 1-888-JZ-HELPS (1-888-594-3577) or e-mail our firm today.
Our firm is committed to helping minor children and their parents hold others responsible for their actions. No matter the type of accident, we have the resources, commitment, and focus needed to pursue personal injury and wrongful death claims on behalf of our clients.
Children and adolescents can be injured if a care giver, babysitter, day car worker, or lifeguard looks away for just a minute, and negligent, reckless and inattentive drivers can cause serious injuries. Our goal is to help you hold others responsible for their negligence, and we handle cases involving:
- Car and truck accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Fireworks and burn injuries
- Traumatic brain injury
- Animal and dog bites
- Playground equipment
- Household fires
- Swimming pool accidents and drowning
- Ingestion of household products, cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning substances, pain relievers, foreign bodies, and plants
- Abuse, neglect, or molestation in schools, day care centers, and churches
In some instances, these accidents can lead to death, emotional trauma, or severe disability. Personal injury lawsuits filed on behalf of children can therefore deal with the extraordinary costs that compensate for the medical expenses, accommodations, and care of a severely injured child into his or her adult life.
If you are a parent, guardian or concerned adult related to a minor child who has been severely injured in the Miami area, call 1-888-JZ-HELPS (1-888-594-3577) or e-mail attorney Justin Ziegler. We offer free consultations so you can discuss your legal options in filing a personal injury claim for your child’s injuries.
