Unfortunately, not all accident victims are adults. Children are often victimized by the negligence of others resulting in their injury. Donald D’Aunoy Jr. has represented numerous parents making child injury claims on their children’s behalf.
In child injury cases, children are entitled to the same damages as adults. Children are entitled to pain and suffering and past and future medical expenses. A child’s claim is pursued by his or her natural tutor, which typically is the child’s father. If a lawsuit is filed in court, the natural tutor is named as a plaintiff in addition to the injured child. Often, the child and his or her parents will be required to give a deposition. Donald D’Aunoy Jr. helps prepare the families for this ordeal so that they will know what to expect and to reduce stress on the family.
If you need legal assistance, the first step is talking to an experienced attorney about your situation.
