Child Injury | Car Accidents

In 2013, 638 children aged 12 years or younger died as passengers in automobile crashes, and more than 127,250 were injured.  Only 38% of the children who died in automobile crashes were not buckled up.  From 2001 to 2010, approximately 1 in 5 child passenger (<15 years old) deaths in the U.S. involved drunk driving^.

Child Injury | Minor’s Compromise

All injury cases involving children (minor) passengers will require a petition to the court called a Minor’s Compromise.  The petition allows the court to oversee the disposition and disbursement of the settlement or trial verdict funds that go and/or get awarded to children. This may include establishing a blocked account on behalf of the minor or adult person with a disability.
