Depending on the extent of the injuries, you and your family can face unexpected and catastrophic medical bills. You’ll also have to take time off work to stay home and make sure your child fully recovers. You won’t—and you shouldn’t—be satisfied until your child can return to their normal routine as soon as possible.

If your child is left with a handicap due to the negligence of another party, your family can also be faced with a mountain of future medical costs and treatment. You may also need to modify your home or vehicle, which can increase the overall medical care and associated expenses.

If you face uncertainty about what the future holds for your family, you should consult a Roanoke-area personal injury attorney who specializes in children’s injuries and can help you move forward.

It pays to have an attorney with experience in cases involving child injury or death. As a child injury lawyer with 26 years of experience, and I have worked with many children and their families to successfully right the wrongs that have been done to them.

I know how to treat your family with the understanding, compassion and empathy that is required to put frightened children at ease. Since 1995, I’ve been providing straightforward and compassionate advice for families. Cases I’ve successfully handled include:

• A young boy who fell down an elevator shaft and was severely injured.

• A little girl whose scalp was torn off by a vicious dog.

We will discuss in detail about what you and your child will go through if you decide to move forward with a case. Regardless of what you decide to do, you should at least know all of the options so your child and family can begin to heal.

Does it seem like you’re always hearing about baby and children’s product recalls in the news? Safety critical items such as cribs, car seats, high chairs, strollers, play yards and infant carriers can cause death or serious injury if they fail to work properly.  Here are a few tips to preventing injuries from these defective products:

• Make it a habit to check the Internet and the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) website. You’re looking for any recent recalls or safety-related complaints.
• Do not buy any of the above mentioned items used at yard sales or children’s specialty shops.
• Generally, children’s toys will have an age limit. Abide by those recommendations. Many toys that contain smaller items can be swallowed by small children, presenting a choking hazard.
