What can I do if my child was injured in a pedestrian accident?

If your child has been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may file a personal injury claim on your child’s behalf for his/her injuries and damages.

At the time of a pedestrian accident involving your child, there are some important initial steps to take. First, take note of your child’s status, who is at the scene, how the accident occurred, property damage, and road/weather conditions. Next, seek immediate medical attention for your child to prevent his/her injuries and worsening and to properly document them for future reference. When your child is in stable condition, contact an experienced personal injury attorney for a free consultation.

Under Illinois law, citizens typically have up to two (2) years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. For injured children, however, an extra two years are allowed and they may file suit until turning twenty years of age. For children under five years of age, as they aren’t capable of comparable fault, parents may still file suit on their behalf.
