Most states prevent anyone under the age of 18 from filing a lawsuit without the help of parent, adult, or guardian. Children and adolescents are at high risk for many injuries including those caused by:

• Cars and other motor vehicle accidents
• Fireworks
• Playground equipment
• Ingestion of household products such as cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning substances, pain relievers, foreign bodies, and plants
• Household fires
• Falls
  
• Swimming-related accidents

When these injuries lead to severe disability, the person or company responsible can be held accountable through a lawsuit filed on behalf of the injured child. When a child is killed as a result of someone else's negligence,  a claim by the child's parent(s) can be a difficult and sensitive matter, requiring the requisite amount of understanding, compassion and patience obtained through years of experience in working with survivors in these situations.
