Daycare or School Injuries
If your child got hurt at daycare, school, or while participating in an extracurricular activity due to negligence or unsafe conditions, our team will investigate the incident and evaluate the level of liability of the responsible parties.
Car Accidents
Collisions, even those considered minor, can cause great harm to young people. Choosing a lawyer with experience handling both car accident and pediatric injury cases can help you hold the negligent driver, a municipality, and others accountable.
Unsafe Products or Environments
If your child was injured by a defective product or in a dangerous environment, such as a playground that wasn’t been properly maintained, you have options. A lawyer with product or premises liability expertise will assist you in building an evidenced-based case.
Bullying or Abuse
Many parents think there’s no opportunity to seek restitution if their children suffer abuse, bullying, or other intentional harm caused by another person. However, our personal injury lawyers can guide you through the process of seeking legal recourse. Depending on what took place, this could include compensation and/or protective measures for your child.
Key Benefits of Engaging a Child Injury Lawyer
You know you want to do all you can for your family, but it’s not your responsibility to delve into the multiple details legal action requires. When you arrange for a free consultation with Fowler Pickert Eisenmenger Norfleet, we thoroughly outline how we’ll fight on your behalf, and what you stand to gain. Here are just a few benefits of our partnership.
Frees Up Your Time to Focus on Family
You have enough responsibilities just to make sure your loved one is progressing through recovery. Medical treatments, follow-up appointments, schoolwork—while you stay on task with these efforts, we’re working on moving your case forward.
We Handle the Legal Complexities
Laws related to personal injury vary by state. Missouri, for example, has specific rules such as the statute of limitations, guardianship, and protection for damages or settlements awarded to a minor. We’re mindful of these details so you don’t have to be.
Our Team Assesses All Aspects of Fair Compensation
Children injured due to negligence or other wrongdoing often suffer physical, emotional, and psychological harm that could impact them far into the future, well beyond the time it takes for their initial wounds to heal.
So along with immediate medical costs, our skilled pediatric injury lawyer structures your case to seek compensation that covers future expenses including, but not limited to:
- Long-term care
- Therapy
- Educational needs
- Loss of future earning potential
We Negotiate Your Settlement Options With Insurance Companies
Insurers representing liable parties can be challenging to interact with, especially when you’re also coping with the stress of your loved one’s well-being. Insurance companies are motivated to minimize payouts and may push you to agree to a lowball settlement quickly. We fight for your child’s right to proper compensation.
When to Reach Out to a Pediatric Injury Lawyer
To fully protect your child’s legal rights, fast action is critical, so contact a lawyer as soon as possible. The sooner you engage counsel, the better your chances of establishing a strong case and securing a settlement that provides for your child’s current and future needs.
At Fowler Pickert Eisenmenger Norfleet, we take immediate steps to preserve evidence, gather witness statements, and avoid delays in filing your claim within the statute of limitations. We’re dedicated advocates for children and their families, providing compassionate support, seeking justice and compensation on your behalf, and providing help for the future.
