Experienced in Children's Injury Cases
Children are commonly hurt in personal injury situations involving:
- Car accidents
- Truck collisions
- Bicycle accidents
- School bus accidents
- Dog bites
- Unsafe toys
- Recreational vehicle accidents
- Playground injuries
- Swimming pool mishaps
Children's bodies and minds are significantly different from those of adults. They are still in the development process. Therefore, when children suffer serious injuries, they face major physical and emotional challenges that can have lifelong implications.
Our personal injury attorneys recognize that children's injuries can be devastating for an entire family. Dealing with the trauma and emotional aspects, let alone the legal ramifications, can be overwhelming. Retaining a Burke & Thomas, PLLP attorney allows you to focus on your child. With compassion and experience, our lawyers will work to hold the negligent parties accountable and prevent other children from suffering similar harm.
Obtaining Financial Compensation
Our Minneapolis child injury lawyers will consult with experts, including medical specialists, life care experts and economists, to calculate the total cost of immediate and future medical treatment, as well as any losses due to permanent injuries. Further, we will explore all relevant insurance coverage before making our compensation demand to the insurers or jury.
While obtaining a fair settlement is our primary goal, we also want to help ensure your child's award is protected. One way we do this is to arrange for a structured settlement. This type of payment plan provides a monthly check that will be paid out, tax free, over time. This ongoing support can benefit your child for years to come.
No Out-of-Pocket Costs
Our firm handles children's injury cases on a contingency fee basis. What that means is that you do not pay anything until we are successful for you.
