Child Injured Due to Negligence?
Children are known to run, jump, play, and try new things, and, because they are young and still developing, they tend to do so in clumsy ways. Bumps, scrapes, and bruises are very common injuries for children, and they tend to recover from them as quickly as they occurred. Colds, the flu, fevers and minor infections are also common and usually dealt with easily. But some child injuries and illnesses are not caused by a child’s clumsiness or innocent curiosity, but by the negligence and/or wrongdoing of others. In such cases, the at-fault party may be held responsible for the losses and damages they’ve caused with the help of a Chattanooga child injury lawyer. To learn more or discuss whether you have the basis for an injury claim, schedule a consultation with one of our experienced accident attorneys today.
