First sentence: As a lawyer, and also as a father, some of the most tragic and heart-wrenching cases I see are those involving children.  As a father, these cases can be difficult to manage.  No parent wants to see his or her child suffer, particularly when the injury was preventable.  And these cases can be difficult and time consuming to pursue in the legal arena.  Most of the time, the adversary is a powerful insurance company that is willing to bankroll an aggressive and time-consuming defense (even when the case involves a seriously injured child).  When a child has been seriously injured, the parents are often both angry and sad, sometimes filled with guilt, and basically overwhelmed with the legal process that may ensue.  I see many different types of accident cases involving children.
