    What Parents Should Know After Your Child Suffers a Major Accident

    What Parents Should Know After Your Child Suffers a Major Accident

    As much as parents would like to protect their children from any type of harm, the reality is that bumps, bruises and broken bones are often part of childhood experiences. Eventually, most children experience some type of major accident at some point in childhood. Though the child is the one who experiences the physical pain of being in a car accident or other traumatic encounter, it is the parent that is often left with the responsibility of what to do next.

    The Moments Following A Major Accident

    After a child has been involved in a major accident, the moments that follow are often the most critical. In the case of severe injury, the child's state must be evaluated and given the medical treatment required to ensure their well-being. When a child has been severely injured and the situation calls for immediate attention, it may be necessary for a parent to provide CPR. At the first available moment, it will also be a good idea to contact 911 to get paramedics on the scene to provide a better level of support for the child's injuries. It is most likely best not to try to move the child until the paramedics arrive and can assess the situation.

    Documenting the Incident

    If the injuries a child has sustained were caused by another person or on someone else's property, that person may be liable for damages. It is important to make sure that a parent has taken precautions to ensure that they know what happened and to provide a clear and accurate statement with any law enforcement personnel that arrives on the scene. It is also a smart idea to take pictures with a camera, such as on a smart phone, to better ensure documentation exists of the accident, the injuries, people involved, witnesses and any other relevant details.

    Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer

    If another individual is at fault for your child's accident, then it is generally smart to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. In personal injury cases, it is never a good idea to waste any time. Not only will a personal injury lawyer help a parent to ensure that their child's injury and case is documented properly, but they will also be able to guide and direct the parents in all other steps that need to be executed in a timely manner. In addition, a personal injury lawyer will know how to fill out and file any essential documents, and they can also be very beneficial in making sure your child has seen the correct type of medical professionals to establish a proper case (Source: Kenneth Cristall Law Corporation).

    Conclusion

    Although it is never a joy to see one's child undergo a painful accident, a knowledgeable and prepared parent will be able to take the steps to act in their child's best interests. Ensuring the child is safe and taken care of medically is only half the battle. Ensuring that their accident is properly documented and that they are represented by an experienced personal injury lawyer are also important steps to execute in a timely manner. The more prompt a parent is about carrying out these steps, the better things will ultimately be for their child.

      Getting into a major car accident does seem like a scary thing to deal with. I liked that you pointed out that you need to hire a personal injury lawyer to help you out. It does seem like having an expert would help make things a lot easier.
