Guidance for families after a child is hurt due to negligence.
Understanding Child Injury Claims
Injury claims involving children differ from adult claims. Children heal differently, face different risks, and may experience long-term effects that are not immediately obvious. Louisiana law also provides special rules governing when and how minors can pursue compensation.
These cases must strike a balance between urgency and long-term planning. A child’s needs can evolve, and proper evaluation is critical to ensure their future is protected.
