Child Injury Lawyer in California - Johnson Attorneys Group

Kids are highly vulnerable to injuries given their innocent, playful tendencies. However, when accident and injuries arise due to the negligence of people entrusted with their care, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit for compensation. On average 12,175 children between ages 0 and 19 in the US lose their lives following unintended injuries each year, according to the Centers for Diseases Control. The injuries can be accidental or due to negligence.

California Statutes Regarding Child Injury Lawsuits

In California, the child injury lawsuits are somewhat special meaning that the cases involving injuries to minors differ from the adult personal injury claims. Given the children are playful and highly vulnerable, children cannot be held to the same legal standards of behavior as the adults when it comes to determining which acts involve negligence. While adults are held as reasonable beings when it comes to undertaking any action, children must exercise the same amount of care as other kids of the same age, intelligence level, knowledge and experience faced by a similar situation. Under the law, children under the age of five are incapable of committing any acts of negligence. That necessitates yet another different approach when it comes to handling such a lawsuit.

California Statute of Limitations on Child Injury Lawsuits

In California, minors can only pursue their injury claims through a guardian ad litem appointed by the court to represent the minor in the lawsuit, in most cases, a parent. The California statute of limitations requires that the lawsuit against a private party for personal injuries is two years lest you lose the legal right to the claim. However, there are exceptions to the statute such as in cases of child injuries related to medical malpractices or lawsuits involving government entities.
