Protecting the Interests of Children Injured Through Accident or Negligence
The personal injury lawyers at Hauer and Company act on behalf of clients whose children have suffered serious injuries during accidents on school grounds or during school outings or trips. We want to be sure your child receives the best possible medical treatment and ongoing care for the full range of physical, emotional and developmental problems resulting from an accident.
If you have a child involved in an accident involving a school, contact the lawyers at Hauer and Company Contact for a free consultation. We can for example handle the following circumstances:
- Injuries suffered at school venues including playgrounds, gymnasiums
- Serious injuries at school sponsored events at skating rinks or swimming pools
- Accidents at community centres during school-sponsored events
- Injuries arising from motor vehicle accidents, for example if a bus or van is used to carry students to or from an external venue
- Swimming venues, including diving, boating or drowning accidents related to school events
These types of compensatory claims present specific challenges. One significant area of concern is the developmental impact of various injuries to children, which can be difficult to assess. As a result, it may take sometime to obtain a reasonably accurate prognosis for recovery from medical practitioners. Also many children suffer emotional, cognitive or behavioural consequences following a traumatic accident, which may be more serious for the child than the phyiscal injury. Not least in importance, some serious injury cases may carry a lasting impact on a young person’s educational and vocational prospects that may be difficult to immediately assess.
