1st deadlines: Also known as limitation periods, these periods, after which you can not advance your child's entitlement to compensation or, after it is more difficult to do so.

Examples:

a) May your insurance adjuster to tell you that your child until his or her 20th Birthday to sue. This may be technically correct, if you want to call any family members of adult guidance for the care and support lost as a result of the accident. In some cases, these large quantities!

b) Some claims against municipalities (cities, municipalities, etc.) are subject to an incredible 10-day period. You want to talk to a lawyer immediately to see whether this limit applies to your child in the case.

2) Insurance companies are not your child's friend when it comes to an accident case.

You can use convenient, but not fooled. We have many parents, dealing with the insurance adjuster, and directly on the settlement documents to sign when they realized they should be legal.

What happened? We advise them that the settlements from the insurance companies were inadequate and had badly injured the child. You and your child may have breached an interest that conflicts directly with the insurance. The insurance adjuster and a single goal: the maximization of profits for the insurers to control the costs.

Their interests are very different: They want to make sure that your child is injured in a car accident in Ontario or any other type of accident, the financial security, insurance benefits, medical care and rehabilitation and compensation for future lost earnings and the he or she is entitled to receive. This includes monetary compensation for pain and suffering, loss of zest for life, disability, scars, burns, broken bones, brain or head injuries, spinal cord injuries, paraplegia or quadriplegia.

An injury lawyer committed to the children can help get you fairly and properly negotiate with an insurance company.

What does this mean? For starters, apart from the police and medical assistance, you should not describe the accident to anyone, especially an insurance adjuster without having to speak to a lawyer first.

If the adjuster ask for an explanation? You bet. Just say: "No thanks. Not at this time. "" Even if they are in hospital or at your home, it's okay to decline. You can say no unpleasant feeling that many people do. However, feeling a little awkward is far better to jeapardizing your child.

3) If you wait, it's much harder for your lawyer to collect the necessary evidence.

When a child is injured in a car accident, the best evidence to show how the accident happened is collected right after the accident, for example, sliding marks crash debris and the vehicles.

Did you know that some cars have "black boxes" similar to an airplane? If it's not too late, we can build a court that makes the black box in front of the car on the destruction of the yard.

Think you have a SLIP and fall accident that happens on the ice in February. It is much more difficult to piece together the evidence in June, as in the days around the collision.

Witnesses are another important aspect. They must be found - that is simpler, sooner rather than later. You also have the interview, ideally, before the insurance can be achieved.

Maybe ask if you can follow these steps on your own. And perhaps you can. But is this the best use of your time, if you have an injured child case? An experienced attorney will hire investigators and engineers are required to collect evidence that you or your child is the case.

4) Discover today, not 6 months from now, as the insurer and its defenders can interpret your child's health records against your child.

By talking with an experienced child injury lawyer, you will learn how to talk to your child's treating physicians. Many parents, for example, are so glad that the children are able to walk and talk after a bad collision, that she does not notice or ignore other important changes in behavior or emotional well-being, which might suggest post-traumatic stress disorder.

A pediatrician or family doctor may be physical symptoms and can not remember your child's other symptoms. The result? If it is not in the medical records from the beginning, the insurance might suggest that any of these questions not related to the accident and the child to miss an important assessment by a child neuropsychologist or neurologist. Doctors with this specialty, the correct diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation plan. You may also be a big difference to your child of the case.
