When a child is injured in an automobile accident or day care center van accident, it is important for the child to get appropriate medical care from one or more of the following medical providers: emergency room, pediatrician, neurologist, orthopedist, physical therapist, and /or other medical providers. The costs of the medical care may be covered by the automobile insurance of the day care center, the parents, the other driver, and / or health insurance. It depends on who was at fault for the crash and what insurance coverage was in place for the vehicles / drivers involved in the accident.
Parents are faced with a number of challenges in the aftermath of a crash causing personal injuries to a child. A Child Injury Lawyer can help guide the parents of an injured child through the process of getting medical bills paid, coordinating medical care, and dealing with the adjusters and attorneys working for insurance companies. When a child is insured, there are also questions as to how to handle the case or claim and how to fairly evaluate the claim for compensation. Without the proper medical care and documentation and without appropriate legal representation, insurance companies often “low ball” cases by trying to resolve the case for a small amount. It is important for a parent to be informed of the legal rights to compensation for the child rather than rely on adjusters and insurance companies to be the sole evaluator of the case. Keep in mind that adjusters are trained in both how to save money for the insurance company and how to effectively deal with unrepresented claimants including those who are parents of injured children.
