Why Do Future Needs Matter in a Child Injury Claim?

A serious childhood injury may affect more than the next few months, and some consequences become clearer as a child grows. An orthopedic injury may affect mobility or future activities, a serious brain injury could affect learning or development, and significant scarring can have lasting physical and emotional effects.

An early settlement should not be evaluated only by today's medical bills. A careful evaluation should consider the child's current condition and potential future needs.
