The
Injured Child Advocacy Group
What
is the Injured Children's Advocacy Institute?
We
are a law firm with a practice limited to helping
children injured through
the negligence or misdeeds of others. Our attorneys have many years of
experience in representing injured clients. We have also represented
many insurance companies in defending claims such as these which gives
us a unique perspective on how an insurance company views these types
of cases.
What
if the accident was my child’s fault?
When
you contact our office, we will perform a thorough review
of the facts of your particular case and give you our
opinion as who is the liable party at no cost to you.
In many instances a child, by law, cannot be negligent
or his negligence is diminished greatly because of his
age.
How
much time do I have to bring a claim?
With
most claims involving an injury to a child you have until
the child’s TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY to file a claim!
Even if the accident happened years ago, we may still
be able to collect monies on your child’s behalf.
How
much will this cost?
There
are no upfront fees or costs to you or your child. We
charge a percentage of any monies we collect. If your
child is under 18 at the
time of settlement the attorney’s fee must be approved by the Court
to ensure that the fee paid is fair and reasonable.
You will NEVER be charged for any monies
unless we collect
money for your child.
Do
the parents get any compensation?
As
a general rule, the money we collect is for your child’s
health,
education and welfare and cannot be used by the parents. Quite
often the settlements are structured for the child when he or she
reaches 18, 21 or 25 years of age. We have had many clients use
the settlement proceeds as college funds for their child or for a
new medical technique which was not available at the time of
the settlement. |
