The Damages We Fight to Recover in a Carrollton Child Injury Case
The compensation you and your child might be entitled to can vary depending on numerous factors. Generally, you may be eligible for economic damages and non–economic damages.
Economic damages refer to financial losses that affect a bank account after an accident. For example, perhaps your child’s injuries require costly medical treatment.
You could file a claim or lawsuit on their behalf. If their injuries are severe enough that they will require ongoing treatment, you can estimate the potential cost of future care when pursuing compensation.
You may also be able to recover compensation for lost wages if you need to take time off work to care for them or for any renovations your home or vehicle needs to accommodate any disabling injuries.
Non-economic damages don’t directly impact your wallet. Instead, they consist of the intangible struggles your child might experience in the aftermath of an accident. For instance, they might be eligible to receive compensation for any pain and suffering they’ve endured as a result of their injuries.
Those are just examples. Reviewing your case with a legal professional will help you better understand the compensation you may pursue on behalf of your child. If your child tragically lost their life, a Carrollton wrongful death lawyer could seek the following on your behalf:
- Funeral expenses
- Burial expenses
- The emotional pain you may experience due to the loss of a child
Save copies of medical bills and other documentation related to the losses and struggles resulting from your child’s injuries or their tragic passing. This documentation can help during settlement negotiations.

How Our Carrollton Child Injury Attorneys Can Help
Insurance company adjusters and attorneys have experience negotiating settlements. You don’t. As such, the insurance company may have a good chance of convincing you to settle for less than your claim is worth if you try to handle a case on your own.
In addition, if you’re devoting time and energy to negotiating with insurance adjusters, that’s less time you have to spend caring for your child as they recover from their injuries.
These aren’t issues you need to worry about when you enlist the help of our team. We’ll assist you in many ways when handling your case. We can manage the following:
- Reviewing the case and answering your questions
- Leveraging our firm’s resources to investigate and identify the liable parties
- Speaking with witnesses
- Obtaining police reports and accident reports

- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Dog bites

Different types of cases require different approaches. For example, in a medical malpractice case, we must work with a medical professional who can file a certificate of merit that establishes unreasonable actions by the provider in question. These are nuances we account for when determining the best strategy for a given case.

The Importance of Acting Fast in a Carrollton, GA Child Injury Case
In most Georgia personal injury cases, you must file a lawsuit within two years of an injury occurring or being discovered, per O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. However, determining the deadline in a child injury case can be difficult as it may toll (pause).
Even if the time limit for filing an injury lawsuit does pass, insurance companies have their own deadlines for filing claims.
Thus, it’s important to act fast in the aftermath of an accident. Missing a deadline could result in losing the right to seek compensation. Even if you still have the right to pursue compensation, evidence tends to be stronger when less time has elapsed. Getting us involved earlier also means we have more time to build a case on your behalf.
