Injuries to Children – How to "Make Things Right" and Obtain Compensation


Every day in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, all kinds of preventable accidents resulting in serious injuries happen to children. Children are often the victims of negligent acts stemming from a variety of preventable incidents such as motor vehicle collisions, playground injuries, dog bites, swimming pool and trampoline accidents and much more.

Fort Worth Child Injury LawyerIn any instance of a child sustaining an injury resulting from negligence, it is the Anderson Law Firm's opinion that it is a parental duty and obligation to oversee that a personal injury claim is brought forth to compensate their child.

Kids Need an Advocate

At the Anderson Law Firm in Fort Worth, our personal injury attorneys get many questions as to how a claim can be pursued on behalf of a child.

By law, an injured child cannot make the decision to pursue a claim; it is the responsibility of the child's parent or legal guardian to hire a Fort Worth child injury attorney and bring forth a claim. Because the medical bills are the responsibility of the parents or legal guardian, those persons are also included in the claim. At the conclusion of the claim, the amount attributable to the injured child must be approved by the Judge presiding over the case. The Judge typically appoints an "ad litem" attorney to oversee that the settlement is fair and that the settlement proceeds are apportioned in the best interest of the child. The amount due to compensate the child is either invested in a court-approved annuity or held in a court-approved account, to which the child will have access to when he or she turns 18.
