My child was hurt - do I have a case? | Toledo, Ohio child accident lawyers

The fact that a child died or was injured in an accident doesn't mean a claim can be maintained. A person or business entity who caused the death or injury has to be deemed negligent, or at fault, under the law. Someone is at fault when it is his responsibility to act or behave in a certain way, but fails to, which causes injury or death. There's a lot of nuance to negligence law, but that's a boiled down version of the concept.

In addition to negligence actions, claims can be brought on behalf of children who were intentionally hurt or abused by someone.

Winning a lawsuit probably would seem like a hollow victory compared to the injury suffered by a child or the loss to a parent through a child's death, but the court system is purposely set up to allow us to work out our differences with other parties in a civil, organized way.

The insurance industry, acting in concert with state and national chamber of commerce organizations, have worked their propaganda machines overtime to paint everyone who files a lawsuit as a money grubber. That's ridiculous and it's shameful. People shouldn't be made to feel guilty for pursuing legitimate claims, especially when a child was injured or killed as the result of negligent conduct. You have nothing to be ashamed of when you look out for the best interests of yourself and your family.

The best way to figure out whether or not you have a case is to discuss it with an experienced, Toledo, Ohio child accident injury lawyer.
