Discuss Your Family’s Legal Rights with a Portland Child Injury Lawyer at D’Amore Law Group
Children have a right to be safe and happy. Unfortunately, there are many ways a defenseless child can be hurt by the negligent actions of others. A seriously injured child will carry the scars of that injury for a lifetime. Physical injuries, especially head or brain injuries, can affect a child’s health and growth in ways a parent cannot anticipate. Know more with the help of our Portland personal injury lawyer.
If your child is hurt, follow the advice of the doctors.
The most important thing you can do is get your child the proper medical care and treatment.
If someone else is at fault for your child’s injury, you may need to file an insurance claim to make sure your child can access the help he or she needs to recover. Injury claims and lawsuits for minors can be complicated. It is important to seek the advice of an experienced Portland pediatric malpractice lawyer.
Child Abuse
Children need and deserve a safe place in the world. Yet, a shocking number of children are physically or sexually abused in the U.S. every year.
A person who was abused as a child may need physical and psychological care for years. It can take an abuse victim a long time to come to terms with what has happened to them, and to begin the healing process.
Most Common Types of Child Abuse
Sadly, child abuse can take many forms. Every day, children in Oregon suffer at the hands of violent and predatory adults. It is something that no parent can imagine; but, if your child is a victim, the impacts of child abuse can suddenly become unimaginably real.
