(Newswire.net — April 15, 2019) — If your child has been injured because of another person’s negligence, then you’re probably experiencing a wide range of emotions. You may be feeling sad, angry, or even guilty for not finding a way to prevent the accident in the first place. At the Law Office of Peter Briskin, we understand that injuries to children are especially devastating and we take every opportunity to secure you the compensation you deserve in the wake of this tragedy. You can rest assured knowing your child’s best interest will always be at the forefront of our thinking.

Types of Injuries Affecting Kids

The sad truth is that children are vulnerable to a number of different types of accidents and injuries. Don’t hesitate to contact a lawyer if your son or daughter was involved in one of the following:

Car Accidents – Children are more likely than adults to suffer head injuries and other serious consequences of car accidents. Additionally, younger children are especially vulnerable to pedestrian accidents while crossing the street.

Dog Bites – Because of their short stature, children pose an easy target for aggressive dogs. Moreover, victims of dog bites often suffer both physical and emotional consequences for years to come.

Slip and Fall – Children who fall on slippery or uneven surfaces can suffer an array of injuries, including sprains, broken bones, and even TBIs.

Playground Accidents – Injuries are all too common at parks that aren’t well designed or maintained.

Pools – Public pools that don’t have fences or security gates pose a serious danger to young children who aren’t strong swimmers.

If your child was hurt in an accident caused by another person’s negligence, a liability attorney can ensure your family gets what they’re owed.

Why Contact an Attorney

New Jersey liability laws can be complex, and injury victims who don’t seek legal help may risk losing out on the compensation they deserve. For example, claims against schools, parks, cities, and towns need to be filed within 90 days of the accident in question, and individuals who miss this deadline may not be eligible to secure damages. Additionally, an injury attorney can help you navigate the difficult process of filing a lawsuit against a neighbor or an acquaintance.

Although parents are often hesitant to involve their child in legal matters, the truth is that the compensation from injury lawsuits can be crucial to helping children recover after an accident.  Whether your little one needs medical help, counseling, or compensation for pain and suffering, a lawsuit can help protect their quality of life.
