Injuries to Children
Children are our most important resource because they are our future. As parents we invest every ounce of our emotional being into raising our children. There is no event that can have a more negative impact then one that severely injures a child.
Has your child been injured due to negligent or intentional conduct of another person? Everyday young children in Oregon are injured or killed because of the actions of other people or corporations. Whether the trauma is caused by a careless physician, a defective child product, or an automobile accident, anyone who injures a child should be held accountable for their actions. Injuries to children can have both a physical and psychological component. Serious injuries to children can present life altering challenges to not just the injured child, but the entire family. If a child suffers a severe brain injury, not only will the family have to pay an exorbitant amount of medical bills, but may also have to make changes in the child's education and make alterations to the house in order to accommodate the disabled child. Listed below are some of the types of children's injury cases that our office can help obtain a verdict or a settlement.

- Children's spinal injury

Here are some relevant links that we believe are good resources for children and families.
