 With
children's injuries, great care should be
taken not to settle claims too early.
While children are indeed resilient, there
may be
life-long effects
from certain types of injuries. Any
scarring
should be documented through detailed
photographs because it will only fade with
time.
Estimates of
potential future medical costs
need to be obtained from
qualified experts.
Finally, children's injuries and settlements
often need to get special Court approval and
this can be a difficult and time-consuming
process in itself.
Thorough knowledge of and access to
structured settlement specialists is a huge
advantage because most insurance companies
strongly prefer to defer payments to minors
until they reach adulthood. Deferring
payments to children until they become
adults results in a huge financial
advantage, tax free!
Parents owe it to themselves
and their children
to have their children's injuries handled by
an experienced personal injury attorney.
