  1. 5 Steps to Take If Your Child Was Injured in a Car Accident

  2. Car accidents are so common that most people will be involved in at least one collision within their lifetime, meaning, it’s not a matter of if you will get in an accident, but more a matter of when. Car accidents vary widely and factors such as vehicle make and model, vehicle weight and speed can determine the severity of the crash and its resultant injuries.

  3. Check on your child 1 After the car accident first occurs, take a moment to check on your child. If they are unconscious or appear to be extremely injured, do not immediately remove them from their position in the car. It is important to find out if they have sustained any damage before attempting to move them.

  4. Seek medical treatment 2 Keep in mind that not all injuries are obvious at first. Even if your child is able to get out of the car and appears to be functioning normally, you should still seek medical treatment. However, it will require a medical professional to determine if they are suffering from other injuries like a concussion.

  5. Consult with your auto insurance 3 Once you have sought medical treatment for your child, consult with your auto insurance to file a claim. They may require documentation of the injuries your child sustained so be sure to get the information you need from your doctor during your visit. Because California is a fault state, the other driver will generally be responsible for your injuries and damage.

  6. Hire a car accident attorney If your child has been seriously injured in a car accident, it’s important to discuss your case with an experienced San Diego car accident lawyer. He can assess your situation and help you understand your available options to pursue compensation for your child injuries and damages. He will be able to place all their focus on the case so you can care for your child during this time. 4

  7. Monitor your child’s condition 5 Keep an eye on your child for the next few days. Some injuries do not appear right away, and they may even worsen as time passes. For example, if your child experienced whiplash during the accident, they may only feel a little sore the first day. This soreness may increase in the days following, though.
