Damages in child injury cases are very similar to those that are available in cases involving injuries to an adult. This means that both economic damages and non-economic damages are available in these cases. Economic damages compensate your family for the financial impact of your child’s injury.
Common examples of these damages include:
Economic damages typically have a specific dollar value, and proving this value is quite easy. You should have receipts, bills, or other documentation that shows the exact amount of these losses. However, non-economic damages are much more subjective because they are intangible.
Some common examples of non-economic damages in child injury cases are:

If your child has been injured, we understand that their health is your top priority. You might know that you need a lawyer on your side to help you get the most compensation, but you may be worried about the cost. Thankfully, hiring a child injury lawyer will not cost you any money up front.
Most personal injury lawyers, including those who handle child injury cases, work on a contingency fee basis. When using a contingency fee, the lawyer does not require an upfront payment. Instead, they take their fee at the end of the case as a portion of any money recovered for the client. If the lawyer does not win the case, they do not receive a fee.
Fees in child injury cases often range from 30% to 40% of the total financial recovery. Some of the factors that can influence the amount of the fee are:
The State Bar of Georgia says that contingency fee agreements should be in writing. The agreement should also “state the method by which the fee is to be determined,” and it should include any expenses that will be deducted from the client’s recovery. We will never charge you a fee unless we recover compensation for you.
A common tactic used by many insurance companies to minimize the value of a claim is to blame the victim. If your child is being blamed for their accident, there is good news. Georgia follows a rule known as modified comparative negligence. Under this rule, your child can still recover compensation as long as they are less than 50% responsible for their accident.
If your child shares some of the blame for the accident, their recovery will be reduced by their portion of the fault. For instance, imagine that a jury finds your child 20% responsible for the accident that caused their injuries. In that case, they could still recover 80% of their damages from the other at-fault party.
Children may suffer many types of injuries, and the severity usually depends on the specifics of the accident. Some of the most common injuries suffered by children in personal injury accidents are:
If your child has suffered any of these injuries or others, the experienced team at Nicholson Revell is here to help.
Millions of children receive emergency treatment each year for accident-related injuries, and about 12,000 children die each year from unintentional injuries.
Some of the most common causes of these injuries are:
Many of these accidents are avoidable because they are caused by someone else’s negligence. If your child has been hurt in an accident. Contact us today to let us help you hold the responsible party accountable.
After an accident involving your child, a lawyer can help you by:
Our attorneys are here to support you and your family every step of the way.
In Georgia, accident victims typically have two years from the date of their accident to file a lawsuit for damages. However, the rules are a little different when a child is involved. In that case, the clock does not start running until the child’s 18th birthday. This means that the child may have until their 20th birthday to file a lawsuit for damages, assuming that a parent did not already file a suit on their behalf.
Missing the deadline to file your lawsuit can cause you to be completely barred from recovering any compensation. Since these rules can get complicated — especially when children are involved — you should always get help from an experienced lawyer as soon after an accident as possible. We can help you determine the filing deadline for your child’s case to ensure you do not lose your right to recover compensation.
