Injuries to Children

There is nothing more devastating to parents than to face a tragedy involving a child.    Cases involving injured children present special challenges due to legal issues and also the emotional aspects of these cases.   If you have a child that has been injured by someone else we can help.  Whether these injuries are from a car wreck, trucking negligence, medical malpractice, or a defective product, we can help you through this process.

Injuries to children usually give rise to claims from both the child and the parents.   The NC State Bar provides strict guidelines on how such claims can be handled by one law firm.  We are familiar with that process and have helped families with these claims for many years.     The parents have the claim for the medical bills incurred while the child is minor and the child has all other claims.   In some rare instances, a parent may have their own claim for emotional distress.  We can help you understand what rights you have to pursue and how to protect those rights.

If you have a child that has been injured due to another’s careless behavior, contact Glenn, Mills, Fisher & Mahoney, P.A. today to discuss your case.  Your child has Rights and we work to protect those Rights.  In any injury case, we will have an initial consultation with you at no charge to determine the strength of your case and whether we are able to help you.
