There are laws specific to children who have an injury as a result of a bicycle accident. The parents of the child have a limited amount of time in which to file a claim to recover any medical expenses pertaining to the injury. This is why it is so important for the attorneys to be contacted as soon as possible after the injury is sustained.
In addition to making sure that parents meet the time limit on filing a personal injury claim for their child, attorneys can also guide parents through the hearings required by the court when a parent files a claim on behalf of a child. Because of the differing circumstances when an injury claim involves a minor, attorneys who understand all of the particular legal requirements in this area provide not only legal counsel for parents, but also help to alleviate the stress of coping with their child’s injury and the injury claim.
