Common Accidents We Investigate
Child injuries can occur in a myriad of ways, but most commonly arise from:
- Motor vehicle accident
- Premises liability
- Product liability
- Medical malpractice
- Environmental
Injuries may include broken bones, head trauma like concussions and traumatic brain injury, internal injuries, infections, and psychological after-effects. Any injury that causes significant medical expenses and long-term rehabilitation costs are worth investigating with the help of a Virginia Beach personal injury attorney.
Who Pays In A Daycare Claim?
Daycares have a substantial insurance policy as required by the state of Virginia. If you are worried about the cost of care for you child increasing or your local daycare going out of business, the insurance requirment protects children and the daycare.
You will not be fighting the people that run the daycare. Instead, we will be negotiating with the insurance company.
Children Cannot Be Held Liable for Certain Injuries
In Virginia, children under seven cannot be considered “negligent,” and those ages 7-14 cannot understand the perils associated with their actions. Virginia recognizes a parent has a general duty to supervise and care for a child’s safety, but a parent’s lack of supervision generally does not preclude the child from compensation for their injuries.
Helping You Meet Deadlines For Virginia Child Injury Claims
If you wait too long, your window for pursuing justice on behalf of your child closes forever. Virginia requires parents to file a child injury lawsuit within two years. In some cases, it is possible to extend the window further – particularly if the full nature of the child’s injuries is not known or if the child has a mental disability. A Virgina Beach Daycare Injury Lawyer from Rutter Mills will be happy to answer any questions you have about your legal right to sue, free of charge. We work on a contingency basis and only charge a legal fee after compensation is recovered on your behalf.
