Fort Worth Child Injury Lawyers

Put Years of Experience in Your Corner

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), injuries from accidents are the leading cause of death for children aged 19 and younger. Due to their age and size, children are especially susceptible to injuries caused by the negligence of others.

Common personal injury cases involving minors include:

• Bicycle accidents
• Birth injuries
• Defective products
• Dog attacks
• Slip and falls
• Sporting accidents
• Choking hazards
• Playground accidents
• Swimming pool accidents

We know that as a parent, you are concerned about your child's well-being and health. At the Law Office of James M. Stanley, our Fort Worth child injury attorneys have dedicated our careers to helping injured victims and their families pursue the legal compensation they are entitled to after an accident. Thousands of successful cases speak volumes about our legal abilities and talents.

What Does Compensation Cover for My Child?

If you are the parent or guardian of a minor who was injured, you can file a personal injury case on their behalf. You have two years from the date of injury to file your claim. If you were injured as a child and wish to take legal action, you have two years from your eighteenth birthday to act or two years from the date you were emancipated (or deemed to be an adult). In general, an injured child can recover the same compensation amount as an adult.

Compensation for injured victims typically includes:

• Medical treatment
• Disfigurement
• Disability
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of income in the future

Parents may also be able to recover medical bills, lost income, and other costs incurred on behalf of the injured minor (while he/she is a minor).

In these types of cases, it is important to remember that an insurance company will often deny or undervalue your claim. They will put the blame on the child or blame the parents for "negligent supervision." When you turn to our team for legal help, however, you can be confident that you will receive from us both compassionate support and aggressive representation. To make our services accessible to everyone, we are proud to offer contingency fee arrangements. This means you do not pay us unless we win money on your behalf.
