Little Kids, Big Accidents:

The Ultimate Guide to Child Injury Cases in Ohio


Intoduction


The most difficult cases we handle in our office involve the death or serious injury of a child. It's heartbreaking to see the emotional devastation parents, grandparents, and siblings experience after a child has been killed or injured in an accident. As we all have children in our lives, we understand how traumatic these experiences can be for families.

When tragedy strikes, the lives of parents are turned upside down. If their child has been seriously injured, parents are left trying to navigate the medical community and health insurance. If someone has lost a child, just trying to get out of bed can seem like a monumental task. Deaths or injuries caused by someone else's careless conduct adds even more stress because it entails dealing with a legal system with which most people have little familiarity.

That's why we wrote this book. We've found that parents whose kids have been hurt or killed in accidents have so much on their minds that they don't need more confusion when they're exploring their legal options. The attorneys in our office believe knowledge is power. Our goal with this book is to help parents understand how they can best protect their rights and their children's rights. When parents meet with us, they're often confused and heartbroken. They're looking for straightforward answers and guidance. We hope this book provides solid information for parents so they feel like they have a grasp on the basics before they consult with an attorney.

When an accident causes a child's death or injury, parents aren't thinking about lawyers and litigation. They're either grieving or trying to make sure their child recovers as fast as possible. But at some point, parents find that they have legal issues they need to address. People who haven't been in this situation expect that the negligent person's insurance company will pay for their medical bills, and compensate them for the loss of their child, or for the pain their child experienced. Of course, when a parent loses a child, no amount of money can ever make things right.

Unfortunately, it's rarely that simple or straightforward. Parents may find that their emotional trauma compounded by the unfair treatment some insurance companies seem to incorporate into their business models. Insurance companies often want to close a file for as little money as possible regardless of whether the child and parents are treated fairly. Though this likely is a new experience for you, it's certainly not for the adjusters and lawyers who defend these claims for insurance companies. Even sophisticated people who are successful in other areas of their lives often find themselves shocked when they seek compensation on behalf of their child.

We hope this book helps level the playing field and gives parents a basic education on the legal issues they'll face in these unique cases.
