4) Does a Court Have to Approve a Settlement for and Injury to a Child?
Answer: Yes.
As a parent of three sons, I know all too well that accidents happen. However, sometimes injuries to children can result in a legal injury claim when it happens at a business or retail location and their negligence plays a part. In addition, a school may be liable for an injury to a child. A child has a right to the same compensation for the same range of damages as a personal injury claim filed by an adult. Those damages include payment medical bills, pain and suffering, permanent injury, emotional distress, and disability. It is also worth noting that in some cases a parent has a separate right to be compensated for medical bills paid on behalf of a child and time lost from work caring for the child.
Since a child cannot bring a claim for personal injuries on their own, a parent is permitted to retain counsel on behalf of the child to bring a claim for injuries to the child. In Nevada, any settlement for a child must get the approval of a judge before the child’s claim can be officially settled. At TheOneLawyer.com, we have handled hundreds of “minors compromises” which is the legal process for settlement a claim for an injury to a minor child.
When a claim for a minor is settled with an insurance company, the settlement must be properly approved the funds are placed into a blocked account for the benefit of the child when they turn 18 years of age.
5) What Kind of Injuries Have Children sustained at Stores?
Answer: Serious injuries including broken bones have occurred to children at businesses and retail stores.
6) Should I call a Lawyer if my child is Injured at a Store?
Answer: Yes! Slip and fall cases are legally intricate and you must prove liability under the law for the injury to your child. Cases involving children can be more difficult because the business owner will want to blame the parent for failing to supervise the child. Call an attorney immediately after you slip and fall accident.
