Few things are more upsetting than seeing your child get hurt because of someone else’s carelessness. Whether the injury happened in a car accident, at a daycare, or in another preventable situation, you may be left with hefty medical bills and ongoing complications.

Why You Need a Lawyer to Help After Your Child Gets Injured
A child injury claim is often more complicated than a typical personal injury case. Children may not be able to explain exactly what happened, and the full impact of an injury may not become apparent until months or years later.
You need a child injury lawyer who understands how to build a strong claim and protect your child’s interests. When you hire The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C., we can:
- Investigate how the injury happened
- Gather medical records and other evidence
- Identify all potentially liable parties
- Communicate with insurance companies on your behalf
- Calculate current and future damages
- Combat insurer tactics to minimize your claim
- Negotiate for a fair settlement
- Take your case to court when necessary
New York law also contains special rules for settlements involving minors. In many situations, a court must review and approve a child’s personal injury settlement before the funds can be distributed. These requirements help protect children, but they can make everything more complicated.
Insurance companies don’t always treat child injury claims fairly, either. Adjusters may say that a child’s injuries aren’t as serious as you claim or argue about future treatment costs. Our experienced personal injury attorneys take an aggressive approach when dealing with insurance companies. Our goal is to present compelling evidence supporting the full value of your child’s claim.
The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C. has earned a reputation for personalized and dedicated client advocacy, something that parents appreciate when it comes to protecting their child’s future. Our commitment to service is reflected in our results and the feedback we’ve received from past clients.* One former client shared:
“I had a great experience working with this law firm. The entire process was smooth and easy, and I always felt supported and well-informed along the way. My team was professional, responsive, and made everything much less stressful. I truly appreciate their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance. Thank you so much!” – Nic G

Liability in a Child Personal Injury Claim
Determining liability is one of the most important parts of any personal injury case. We must prove that another party’s negligence caused your child’s injury. Depending on the circumstances, the liable parties may include negligent:
- Drivers
- Property owners
- Schools or school districts
- Daycare centers
- Product manufacturers
- Contractors
- Business owners
- Dog owners
- Physicians and medical centers
- Government entities
To establish negligence under New York law, you generally must show that a party owed a duty of care to the victim, breached that duty, and caused the victim’s injuries and damages as a result.
Child injury cases often involve unique legal considerations. Children generally don’t appreciate risks in the same way adults do. Courts often recognize that children require additional protection under certain circumstances.
In some situations, more than one party may share responsibility for an injury. For example, a playground injury might involve negligent maintenance by a property owner and defective equipment manufactured by a third party. Identifying every responsible party can increase the compensation available to your family. Our personal injury lawyers thoroughly investigate to determine who may be liable and what evidence is needed to support your claim.
Compensation Available After a Child Injury in Nassau County
A successful child injury claim may provide compensation for both current and future losses. Depending on the specific facts of the case, that could include:
- Medical expenses
- Emergency treatment costs
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Prescriptions and medical devices
- Future medical care
- Future loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement or scarring
Because children have many years ahead of them, future damages are especially important. A serious injury may require ongoing treatment, adaptive equipment, counseling, or long-term care. Parents may also have separate claims for certain expenses incurred as a result of a child’s injury, including medical costs paid on the child’s behalf and time off work to care for them.
Our attorneys work closely with medical professionals and other qualified experts to understand the full impact. The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C. has secured significant verdicts for injured clients through negotiated settlements and litigation. Every case is different, and prior outcomes don’t guarantee future results, but we still fight for maximum compensation whenever possible.
