Usually, a person under age 18 cannot file a lawsuit without the assistance of a guardian, parent, or another adult. That said, adolescents and children tend to be highly susceptible to sustaining many kinds of personal injuries, including injuries caused by:

• Fireworks
• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Playground equipment
• Household fires
• Ingestion of personal care products, cosmetics, and household products
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Swimming-related injuries

In certain instances, these kinds of accidents can cause severe, if not permanent disability or wrongful death.

Personal injury lawsuits filed by adults for minors can help cover the financial costs that can be involved when taking care of a child that has been seriously injured or may be permanently disabled and need lifelong medical care and assistance throughout adulthood.

If you are a parent, concerned adult, or the guardian of a minor that has been seriously injured in an accident in Louisiana, our personal injury lawyers at The Berniard Law Firm want to hear from you.
