After-school activities help children grow intellectually, physically, and emotionally. You expect your child to be safe whether it’s football, debate club, or band practice. After receiving the shocking news that your child sustained an injury during one of these activities, you may want to seek the help of our child injury lawyer.
At The Cifarelli Law Firm, we have over five decades of collective experience representing injured people, including children. We can help you determine whether the school board, coaches, administrators, or other officials are responsible for the injuries.
How We Can Help After a School Injury Accident
When your child suffers an injury during an after-school activity, your focus may be on seeking emergency medical care for the child, which you should do. Once your child is safe, you may wonder what to do next. When it comes to determining the appropriate steps to take in child injury cases, a child injury lawyer can help.
Determining Whether You Have a Case
At The Cifarelli Law Firm, we start by determining whether your child’s injury was due to negligent actions, which may include:
- A slip and fall after someone failed to repair broken flooring
- Failing to maintain equipment used in the activity
- Improper training for a coach overseeing an activity
- Failing to require students to use safety equipment
You may have a case if your child had permission to be inside the school and was not purposefully creating a dangerous situation. Our team is ready to start working for you immediately.
Representing You in Your Claim
If you decide to hire our child injury lawyer to seek a personal injury award, we handle all aspects of the case. Unless we are present, you do not have to speak to the school’s insurance company or lawyers.
Having our team working on your case allows you to tend to your child while they recover. We aim to remove as much stress from the situation for you as possible.
Seeking Financial Awards for You
We have a strong track record of helping injury victims in accidents at school. This experience is invaluable as we seek a financial award in your child’s personal injury case. Areas where we may seek awards for your family include the following:
- Emergency medical costs
- Estimates of future medical costs
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfiguring or disabling injuries
Determining a fair award for your child’s injuries can be difficult on your own. Our experience with past situations like yours is highly valuable for your case, as it allows us to navigate the possible challenges.
Should the worst-case scenario happen where your child suffers a fatal injury in an after-school activity, we also can help by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. We are ready to give you the highest level of professionalism in our representation.
