Harlingen Child Injury Lawyer

As a Harlingen parent, you provide a lifestyle that allows your children to thrive. Sadly, you cannot always protect them from negligent people who cause harm. From the moment your child enters the world, they become vulnerable to other people’s careless actions. Their pain, suffering, and emotional trauma affect the whole family. Your child cannot go to school or participate in family activities. You need to work, but you take time off to make sure your child receives medical treatment and personal care.

In most cases, childhood accidents occur due to preventable events. Whether a person is negligent or simply reckless, when they injure a child, they must take responsibility for the damage they cause.

At Kenny Perez Law, we have helped many Harlingen families recover damages due to someone else’s negligence. We have accepted that negligent parties do not always take responsibility for their actions. Our lawyers have protected our clients’ legal rights by providing compassionate, aggressive representation. We have worked hard to make negligent parties pay.

Our bilingual legal team has investigated our clients’ accidents and analyzed their legal issues. We have placed all responsible parties on notice and followed up to pursue damages on our clients’ behalf. We have presented our clients’ cases, negotiated settlements, and initiated litigation when necessary.

We have always understood that no amount of money could eliminate our young clients’ pain and suffering. We have recovered financial settlements with the sincere hope that it helps families pay for their child’s trauma and ease future medical complications.

At Kenny Perez Law, we have committed our efforts to settling injury claims in ways that best benefited our clients. We have sought to win the maximum financial recovery while causing the least emotional trauma for injured children and their families.

When negligent parties and their insurers cooperated, we resolved injury cases through aggressive negotiation. We have presented cases informally, through Alternative Dispute Resolution forums such as mediation.

Despite our efforts, litigation has always been a potential outcome. Anticipating that possibility, we have prepared our cases from day one. When litigation became the best alternative, we filed lawsuits on our clients’ behalf and presented our clients’ evidence before a judge and jury.

Each claim involves unique injuries and circumstances, so we cannot guarantee a specific outcome.

We share our case results to demonstrate our commitment to hard work and client dedication.

Children become the most vulnerable victims when accidents occur. You teach them safety strategies for walking to school. You use car seats and boosters when you are driving. You teach your child to be careful wherever they go. Sadly, negligent people, properties, and circumstances can injure your child when you least expect it.

Here are just a few of the circumstances that cause childhood injuries.

A child’s body is smaller. Their brain, bones, and muscles have not yet fully developed. These physical characteristics render them more vulnerable to severe injuries. When accidents occur, children sustain the same injuries as adults, but the damage is usually more severe. Children cannot always withstand forceful vehicle impacts, dog attacks, and other accidental trauma.

They sometimes cause serious, disabling, or fatal injuries.

When a child sustains an accidental injury, it often involves one or more negligent people or entities. We have investigated each case to discover all of the involved parties.

Potential parties can include:

When we settle or try an injury claim, we seek Economic and Non-Economic damages. A jury also has the option to award Punitive Damages.

Economic damages include the total out-of-pocket expenses an injured child’s family incurs. We demand a settlement that covers current and future costs.

These costs can include:

The non-economic portion of a claim considers a child’s emotional and psychological losses.

These damages often include:

When a plaintiff proves that the responsible party’s actions involved fraud, malice, or gross negligence, Texas juries sometimes award exemplary damages.

When a person, business, or other entity seriously injures a child, they often initiate an immediate defense strategy. This sometimes begins with denying responsibility for an accident or event.

This serves several purposes.

Whatever the underlying reason, negligent parties sometimes establish a defense pattern that continues until the claim settles. For both the insurer and the insured, reducing a claim’s settlement potential becomes a mutual goal.

The insurer accomplishes this using several strategies.

At Kenny Perez Law, we handle creative insurance company defense strategies by using strategies of our own. We also investigate our clients’ accidents and prepare our cases long before negotiation, mediation, or trial. This allows us the opportunity to produce the best possible results.

When someone injures your child, it is heartbreaking for the entire family. You want the responsible parties to pay, but dealing with insurers and attorneys takes time away from caring for your child. At Kenny Perez Law, we understand your concerns. We have intervened on our clients’ behalf and managed the legal details while they focused on their child’s recovery.
