Seattle Child Injury Lawyer

A Seattle child injury lawyer can help you deal with pestering insurance companies and, if needed, pursuing additional damages from the party that caused your child’s injury. Instead of spending your time dealing with mounting bills and insurance companies you should be spending time focusing on your child’s health.

As a parent, you spend your entire life protecting your child and helping them grow up in a safe and happy atmosphere. When an injury to your child happens, it can be life shaking and devastating. While you’re consumed with nursing your child back to health, medical bills can pile up fast.

What to Do if Your Child Suffered an Injury Due to Negligence

If this is your first time navigating a child’s injury, you might not be sure what the next steps are following the injury. We recommend the following steps to make filing a claim and recovering from the at-fault person easier:

• Note the at-fault persons contact information
• Call 911 if the injuries to your child are life threatening
• File a police report
• Gather medical documents and copies of doctor records
• If the injury occurred at a daycare or school, request copies of the incident report
• Hire a Seattle personal injury lawyer

Following these steps will assist you and your child injury attorney in obtaining the largest settlement possible. Insurance companies will try their best to deny your claim for lack of information or documentation.

How Do You Recover Compensation for a Child Injury Case?

That is a great question and the answer varies depending on the type of accident; a child injury attorney will be able to assist you in determining the best path for financial recovery.

If your child was injured in a car accident, business, medical malpractice, daycare: you may be able to recover from the at-faults insurance. If the at-fault driver’s coverage is not enough to cover your medical bills, a Seattle child injury lawyer can help you recover through a civil lawsuit.

Under Washington law, a parent can maintain a child injury action on behalf of their child.

If you win your suit at trial, the jury can award you the following damages:

• Damages for the child’s health care expenses
• Loss of the child’s services
• Loss of the child’s financial support, and other economic losses
• Loss of love and companionship of the child
• Loss of the child’s emotional support
• For injury to or destruction of the parent-child relationship
