INJURIES TO CHILDREN
Chandler Injured Children Attorney
Many younger people move to Arizona and start families. Because children can be more vulnerable to injury than others, injured children require a strong advocate who understands the law and can use it effectively to help them recover fair and just compensation.
At Allen & Associates, PLC, we help children injured in all types of accidents. Personal injury lawyer Jamal F. Allen will look into every aspect of your claim personally. At our firm, we always prepare our cases for trial, even though most cases are settled through vigorous negotiation.
If you want experienced representation, contact a Chandler injured children lawyer to schedule a free consultation. We take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we do not get paid until you recover money for your injuries.
Helping the Families of Injured Children Recover Compensation
Under Arizona law, children are not held to the same standards of conduct as adults because of their lack of experience. To compensate for their inexperience, the law imposes a duty on adults to anticipate a child’s unintended behavior.
When a child darts into traffic, he or she may be hit by a vehicle driven by a distracted driver. Even though the child was not behaving in a safe manner, the adult has a duty to anticipate the presence of children and be ready to respond if they appear unexpectedly.
In addition to pedestrian injuries, we can help you seek compensation for your child’s injuries if your child has been injured in any type of accident, including:
- Bicycling accidents
- Serious day care injuries and accidents
- Dog bites and animal attacks
Phoenix, Arizona, Drowning Accident Lawyer
We also help injured children who have been in near-drowning accidents. These accidents can cause comas, seizures and brain injuries, and insurance is typically not enough to cover the costs. Jamal F. Allen, a Phoenix, Arizona, drowning accident attorney, will look for other avenues to get your child the compensation they need to recover, whether it is through premises liability, negligent supervision or product liability.
Calculating Damages in Your Case
Attorney Allen has extensive experience determining damages in cases involving injured children and in demonstrating those losses to insurance companies and juries. Jamal Allen often consults with life-care experts and economists to calculate the total costs of medical care now and in the future, as well as any losses due to permanent injuries. Our legal team will explore all available insurance coverage, additional costs such as psychological counseling, as well as pain and suffering when structuring our compensation demand.
We are here to help make sure your child is compensated for his or her injuries, including helping structure your settlement as a per diem or an annuity to be paid over time, and ensuring that it cannot be withdrawn early unless the court approves.
We believe that no matter what age you are, you deserve knowledgeable representation from a lawyer who is dedicated to serving your needs. Our firm has a strong commitment to that principle and we work hard to achieve the best results for every client.
