What Goes Into Filing a Child Injury Lawsuit?
Because every case is unique, Bader Law Injury Lawyers tailors our approach to each client’s specific needs. The legal process looks different for every client, but steps we often take include:
- Collecting evidence: Our Warner Robins lawyers can compile photos, video, witness and expert testimony, and physical evidence to support your claim for compensation.
- Negotiating settlements: Many insurance companies prefer to settle out of court. We can make sure they offer you a fair amount and that the settlement agreement is reasonable.
- Going to trial: Most cases do not get this far, but if yours does, our child injury attorneys will not hesitate to represent you in the courtroom. We can submit evidence, question witnesses, and deliver oral arguments.
Our child injury lawyers in Warner Robins can help you with every part of the legal process, from deciding whether to settle or go to trial to identifying which liable parties and insurance companies owe you damages.

How Our Warner Robins Child Injury Attorneys Pursue Damages
Our firm’s owner, Seth Bader, has personally recovered over $30 million for accident victims throughout Georgia. You can trust our legal team to determine what damages you are entitled to and then fight hard for every penny.
We generally seek two types of damages for our clients. The first is non-economic damages. These damages compensate you and your child for physical and emotional distress, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Reduced quality of life
Our child injury law firm also seeks reimbursement for your economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses
- Miscellaneous expenses (e.g., educational needs)
- Property damages
- Your lost wages
Punitive Damages and Child Injury Cases
You may have heard of another type of compensation, alternately called punitive damages, vindictive damages, or exemplary damages. Punitive damages are rare. Courts only award them in cases where it is clear that the liable party:
- Deliberately sought to hurt another person
- Engaged in extremely reckless behavior that they knew or should have known would likely hurt someone
- Displayed “conscious indifference” to the idea that they might injure someone
For example, someone who texts while driving probably does not meet this threshold: texting and driving is certainly negligent, but the driver most likely did not act maliciously or make a conscious decision to put lives at risk. On the other hand, someone who speeds through a school zone while intoxicated has performed multiple negligent acts and might end up owing punitive damages to accident victims.
If you qualify for punitive damages, our lawyers in Warner Robins will fight just as hard for those damages as we do for compensatory damages.

What to Do When Your Child Is Injured
Your first concern is for your child’s health, and that is as it should be. If you do nothing else in the immediate aftermath of the accident, prioritize getting your child to safety and taking them to a medical provider.
Other steps you can take may depend on how and where your child was injured:
- Some cases, such as those involving car accidents, may warrant a call to 911 and the Warner Robins Police Department. If your child was bitten by a dog, contact animal control. If your child fell on someone else’s property, alert the property owner or manager.
- Accident scenes may change quickly, so if you can start collecting evidence right away, this could make it easier to build a legal case later on. Evidence like photos of the scene, an at-fault driver’s insurance information, or witness contact information can be invaluable.
- Say as little as possible to other people about the accident. Do not post about it on social media, and do not speak to insurers without consulting our child injury law firm.
Why be careful about what you say? The insurance company is looking for any excuse to minimize your payout or deny you compensation altogether. Anything you say to them or in a public place can be used against you.
Bader Law Injury Lawyers understands how insurers work, so we know how to counter their arguments and champion your family’s rights.
