5 Steps to Take If Your Child Was Injured in a
Car Accident
2
Car accidents are so common that most people will
be involved in at least one collision within
their lifetime, meaning, its not a matter of if
you will get in an accident, but more a matter of
when. Car accidents vary widely and factors such
as vehicle make and model, vehicle weight and
speed can determine the severity of the crash and
its resultant injuries.
3
Check on your child

• After the car accident first occurs, take a
  moment to check on your child. If they are
  unconscious or appear to be extremely injured, do
  not immediately remove them from their position
  in the car. It is important to find out if they
  have sustained any damage before attempting to
  move them.

4
Seek medical treatment

• Keep in mind that not all injuries are obvious at
  first. Even if your child is able to get out of
  the car and appears to be functioning normally,
  you should still seek medical treatment. However,
  it will require a medical professional to
  determine if they are suffering from other
  injuries like a concussion.

5
Consult with your auto insurance

• Once you have sought medical treatment for your
  child, consult with your auto insurance to file a
  claim. They may require documentation of the
  injuries your child sustained so be sure to get
  the information you need from your doctor during
  your visit. Because California is a fault state,
  the other driver will generally be responsible
  for your injuries and damage.

Hire a car accident attorney

• If your child has been seriously injured in a car
  accident, its important to discuss your case
  with an experienced San Diego car accident
  lawyer. He can assess your situation and help you
  understand your available options to pursue
  compensation for your child injuries and damages.
  He will be able to place all their focus on the
  case so you can care for your child during this
  time.

7
Monitor your childs condition

• Keep an eye on your child for the next few days.
  Some injuries do not appear right away, and they
  may even worsen as time passes. For example, if
  your child experienced whiplash during the
  accident, they may only feel a little sore the
  first day. This soreness may increase in the days
  following, though.

Seek Compensation with Attorney Eugene G. Bruno!

• If your child is in the car and gets injured,
  this will most likely heighten your stress after
  the car accident. In more serious cases a car
  accident can cause permanent and catastrophic
  injuries that can change the persons life
  forever. You want to ensure your child is okay
  and help them obtain the medical treatment they
  need.
