Representing Children in Personal Injury Cases
A personal injury case involving a child requires special treatment and handling from a personal injury case involving an adult. A child under the age of 18 cannot file a personal injury lawsuit on their own. The parent or guardian of an injured teenager, child, or infant can pursue a personal injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit on the minor's behalf.
There are specific time limits to all personal injury cases but the time limits are different when a child is the victim of negligence. These time limits differ based on the child's age.
The Georgia personal injury attorneys at the Studstill Firm, LLP know how to serve the needs of children injured in accidents. Our lawyers are ready to take action on behalf of your child. We will put our more than 30 years of experience to help you obtain the full compensation your child is entitled to for physical and mental trauma, as well as for the financial costs that result from accidents involving children.
