The roles of a children’s advocate and personal injury lawyer.
When it comes to our children, we strive to do our best to protect them and keep them out of harm’s way. There are many factors we need to take into consideration in a child’s everyday life such as bus route safety, dangers of cyber bullying, school safety, pedestrian regulations, etc. When our child’s safety is compromised, such as being severely bitten by an animal or taking a dangerous tumble down the stairs, we are not always sure what the next step is and what to do to improve the wellbeing of our children.
At Tolbert Beadle, we offer child person injury lawyer services to help answer your questions, increase the safety of your children and help you explore your legal options.
Does my child need a personal injury lawyer?
Below are a few of the common reasons parents consult a personal injury lawyer when a child has been injured in an accident or involved in a traumatic event.
- Car accidents
- Falls
- Animal bites (typically dog bites)
- Faulty products
- Unexplained accidents
Although these are the most common incidences that bring children to a personal injury lawyer, if you are ever in doubt or unsure about seeking a children’s attorney, do not hesitate to contact Tolbert Beadle.
What is the role of a child personal injury lawyer and advocate?
