Northern Virginia Personal Injury Attorney : Injuries to Children and Minors

Every year in the United States as many as twenty million children are injured as the result of various accidents, many of which are the result of another party's negligence and could have been prevented if the negligent party had used more common sense or caution. Children are perpetually at risk to accidents that can result in serious or life threatening injury and disability. The child injury attorneys at The Parrish Law Firm are dedciated to representing the families of children who have suffered serious physical injuries. Please contact us with questions or for a free consultation relating to your child's accident or injuries-we can help.

There are many situations that may result in a child suffering from serious injuries, including:

Car and other motor vehicle accidents
School bus accidents
Negligent supervision
Defective or dangerous toys
Park and playground equipment accidents
Organized sports accidents
Ingestion of household goods such as cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning substances, pain relievers, foreign bodies, and plants

Accidents Happen

Every year more than 14 million children are accidentally hurt seriously enough to require medical attention. Accidental injuries range from broken arms and broken legs, to more serious injuries such as brain damage or traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, third degree burns and even death.

At The Parrish Law Firm, we are both child injury lawyers and concerned parents. Our goal is the protect the welfare of your children just as we do our own. We can help you to investigate the cause of your child's injury and discover if the accident was the responsibility of another.

The person or company who caused your child's injuries or death can be held accountable through a lawsuit filed on behalf of the injured child. When a child is killed as a result of someone else's negligence, a claim by the child's parent(s) can also be pursued. While this will be a difficult and sensitive matter, we exercise the proper amount of understanding, compassion and patience earned through our years of experience in working with families in these situations.

If your child has suffered a serious injury, you not only must deal with exhausting medical procedures and hospital stays, but you are also certainly worrying about the long-term effect that your child's injuries will have on them and on your family. Virginia Child Injury Attorney James Parrish is dedicated to giving our clients peace of mind by aggressively seeking the full compensation that your injured child and family is owed.

If you are a parent, guardian or concerned adult related to a minor child who has been seriously injured, please contact us to discuss the legal remedies and options available to compensate you and your child for their injuries.
