The Child Injury Claims Process in North Carolina

In Wilmington, the child injury claims process begins with a thorough investigation of the accident that caused your child’s injury. An investigation allows our law firm to obtain evidence to build a compelling legal case and identify the parties your family could hold liable. Investigating a child injury claim involves documenting your child’s injuries and ongoing and future losses and expenses so we can put a dollar figure on what happened.

After preparing your child’s case, our law firm can file insurance claims and demand letters to notify the at-fault parties of your claims. Next, we’ll begin pursuing a negotiated settlement that provides your family with the financial resources you need for your child’s well-being. Our law firm will aggressively negotiate with insurance adjusters, corporate representatives, and defense lawyers to demand maximum compensation for your family.

Should the insurance company refuse to agree to a fair and full settlement of your child’s claims, our law firm will take your case to court and eventually to trial, if necessary. We will stop at nothing in our pursuit of the compensation and accountability your family deserves.
