Everyone has a special place in their heart for children. That’s especially true when
a child’s been injured because of the negligence or the carelessness of someone else. In our
practice we see this result in serious injuries to children involving dog bites. All too often
these bites are on the face and on the neck and the upper remedies of a child because
of how small they are. We see them hurt in bicycle accidents and scooter accidents particularly
where cars are crossing intersection or crossing sidewalks. In pedestrian accidents where a
child is hit by a car in the same manner of backing out of a drive way or turning around
the corner not watching the child as they cross the street. And we also see them in
burns that occur from fireworks and other flammables. Unfortunately, injuries to children
of this kind result in long term consequences for them. Many of the injuries require future
surgeries, and this needs to be accounted for when you think about trying to resolve
or settle a child’s injury, what needs are they going to have five years or ten years
from now, if they need a revision surgery to make a scar better or something to correct
a surgery that’s occurred to a leg or a back. You need to understand and consider
the use of a structure settlement. Taking some of the money now putting it into some
time of annuity investment, so that it can be used for the child sometime five years
or ten years down the road to pay for these future medical care. If you’ve had a child
that’s been injured in an accident of some type, call us today we can help you.
