As a family firm, Crocker Law Firm take special care in fighting for the rights of children who have been injured or killed. For a parent, dealing with the serious injury or death of a child is unimaginable.

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

From a legal standpoint, childhood injuries can involve car accidents, drowning, poisoning, fire and burn injuries and sports-related injuries. Medical treatment can be complicated by growth factors and psychological issues of a serious accident during the formidable years of mental development. Long-term complications of broken bones, joint injuries, and back and head injuries should also be taken into account.

A Kentucky child accident lawyer can also fight the assertion that the injury or death of a child was caused in part by the child’s actions. In many instances, like dog attacks and drowning, courts have ruled that children of a certain age or in certain situations cannot be presumed to have behaved in a manner than contributed to their injury or death.

In other cases, a tragic accident causes a child to be seriously injured or killed under the watch of a trusted neighbor, babysitter, relative or family friend. A Bowling Green, Kentucky child accident attorney can work with you and your family in as amicable a manner as possible to collect damages from a homeowner’s or property owner’s insurance company in instances where a child is injured or killed while under the care of a trusted friend or relative.
