Child Injuries

Our children are precious to us and they are our wards and responsibilities. It is up to us as parents, guardians or caretakers, or as schoolteachers, or as physicians, or as babysitters, or as bus operators, or as moms and dads in car pools and the like, to be sure to protect the well being of our children and to prevent injuries to this protected class of individuals.

Florida’s Law considers children or minors as a protected class of individuals (for instance, with the Florida legistalture’s addition of Section 768.125 of the Florida Statutes, which prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages to a minor). So when a child is injured, the caretaker has the responsibility to take those steps to assure that not only are the child’s medical or psychiatric issues attended to, but that the child’s rights to seek civil justice and obtain money damages for their injuries and losses be obtained in the most professional and effective manner.

The Schulman Law Group is particularly committed and experienced with obtaining the right justice on behalf of minor children who are injured. The child injury lawyers at the Schulman Law Group are knowledgeable of all the consideration that must be addressed in a Florida personal injury case on behalf of a minor child. Not only must a child’s action be brought in the name of a guardian or through an Estate’s personal representative (in the event of a wrongful death case), but certain settlements on behalf of a minor first must obtain the Court’s approval. The Schulman Law Group has over thirty years of experience in looking after the rights of injured children and assisting in not only obtaining the right money recovery, but also protecting the child’s judgment or settlement funds so that it is there for her or him for all the needs that may arise over the course of their lives.
