A child injury is an unintentional injury, usually caused by negligence or recklessness. An injured child is among any parent’s worst fear. When parents first learn of an injury, their initial thought is the health of the child and how fast they can get to them. Parents are not thinking about blame or which law firms to call, but in accident cases involving another person’s negligence, contacting a personal injury lawyer (after getting the child the appropriate medical care) is an important step.
