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 handle children's injuries through an experienced professional.
