Cases involving children can be difficult. The child may not be a good witness, insurers sometimes refuse to settle if negligence by the child or parent was a contributing cause, and a judge needs to approve any settlement. The following factors should be examined when a child is the victim of an accident. How strong is liability? How good are the liability witnesses? Can your child explain the incident? Was there parental negligence? What is the medical situation? If your child has been injured and you want help evaluating the case, please fill out the case evaluation form on this website.
