What a Child Injury Case Means in Personal Injury Law
In personal injury law, a child’s injury means that the victim is under 18 years of age at the time of the incident. This means that any child accident compensation received must be used for their benefit until they reach adulthood.
In California, claims made on behalf of children are subject to specific rules and regulations to ensure proper care and support for young victims of negligence or malpractice. Childhood injuries can have a lasting impact, more so if these are caused by somebody else who should have been more mindful and responsible. We are dedicated to helping families get the justice and compensation their young ones deserve.
