Legal Options for Parents of Injured Children

Parents facing the aftermath of a child’s injury often have many questions about what to do next. Understanding your rights and options is vital to receiving the justice and compensation your family deserves.

If a caretaker, institution, or third party is responsible for your child’s injury, you may consider pursuing the following options:

• Filing an insurance claim - For accidents or injuries caused by negligence, insurance claims may cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and other related expenses.
• Pursuing civil litigation - Filing a lawsuit can make it possible to hold the responsible party accountable and recover compensation for damages, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs.
• Requesting an investigation - Reporting the incident to relevant authorities or organizations, such as child protective services or licensing boards, can lead to further investigations and corrective measures.
