Valdosta Child Injury Lawyers
Serving Families Throughout Georgia SINCE 1981
A personal injury case involving a child is much more complicated than the average personal injury case. One of the primary reasons is that children under the age of 18 cannot file a claim on their own behalf.
Our Valdosta child injury attorneys at Studstill Firm, LLP know how to serve the needs of children injured by the wrongful or negligent conduct of others. We know how to navigate the complicated issues involved when a child is the victim.
We will put our nearly four decades of experience to work so you obtain the full compensation your child is entitled to for physical and mental trauma, as well as for the financial costs that resulted from their accident.
The Statute of Limitations for Child Injuries
The parents or legal guardians of an injured teenager, child, or infant will have certain types of claims to bring in their own name and in the name of the child. This is a complicated process and one that must be handled properly in order to avoid the possibility that the child is not able to recover anything.
In addition, while there are always specific time limits to file an injury case, those time limits (called statutes of limitations) are different when a child is the victim of negligence. Some time limits may be tolled (or paused) until the child reaches the age of 18, but not all claims are tolled and therefore some claims must be brought within the ordinary time frame.
We're ready to stand with your family during this difficult time. Contact our Valdosta child injury attorneys at (229) 515-8900 to start exploring your legal options.
Compensation for Injured Minors
In the event that your child’s injuries are catastrophic and/or permanent in nature, the cost of caring for your son or daughter throughout the remainder of his or her life can be extraordinary. That is why it is critical to have the very best network of economic and life care experts available.
If the child is a recipient of aid from the state or federal government, including social security, Medicaid, Medicare, PeachCare, and others, the process of obtaining compensation so that the child does not lose his or her benefits is even more complicated.
Our child injury advocates will work hand-in-hand with experts who specialize in navigating the complicated issues involved in protecting a child’s benefits. Studstill Firm, LLP has extensive experience with these types of experts. We can help you maximize the financial recovery for your injured child or young adult.
Common Types of Child Injury Claims
While children may be victims of any type of negligence or intentional harm, from car accidents to slip and falls, there are certain accidents and injuries that are more likely to happen to kids.
These include:
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Defective car seats and seat belt injuries
- Defective toys or other products
- Swimming pool accidents and drownings
- Trampoline and playground accidents
- Bicycle and skateboarding injuries
- Defective helmets or other safety equipment
- Golf cart rollovers
- Fireworks burns or disfigurement

I felt like I was well taken care of and [Haynes Studstill] was very responsive and kept me up to date with everything. I would refer anyone to this law firm.- Adam

I can’t emphasize how satisfied I am with how you handled my case throughout; and it has nothing to do with the fact that you earned me a favorable settlement. Honestly the amount of the settlement mean little compared to the quality of service I received. I’ve dealt with lawyers in the past and my experience with you is by far the best! What makes it the best is: You communicated EVERYTHING clearly from beginning to end (no surprises) Your response time was ALWAYS fast Your staff is professional and thorough You applied yourself diligently to make SURE I was protected by law and that I received EVERYTHING I was entitled to by law You NEVER made me feel pressured to make a decision or do anything I didn’t feel comfortable with Overall and throughout the process, I felt as if you cared more about ME as a client than about making money. I just felt as if I had a “good person” working on my behalf.- Daryl
