FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions — Child Injury Lawyer in Toronto
What is a Litigation Guardian?
A Litigation Guardian is an adult — usually a parent — who is legally responsible for making decisions and directing a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of a minor child in Ontario. Our injury lawyers guide families through this appointment process from the very first consultation.How long do we have to file a child injury claim?
While the two-year limitation period generally does not begin until the child turns 18, you should act immediately. Evidence disappears and witnesses become harder to locate over time. Contact our office as soon as your child has been injured — starting the process early gives your case the strongest possible foundation.What happens to the settlement money?
For settlements over $10,000, the funds are held in a court-protected trust account managed by the Accountant of the Superior Court of Justice until the child reaches adulthood. This ensures the compensation your child deserves is preserved and managed properly.Can I make a child injury claim if my child was partly at fault?
Yes. Ontario’s Comparative Negligence principles allow injury claims to proceed even where a child contributed to the accident, though the final award may be adjusted. A child may be entitled to significant compensation even in cases where fault is shared.What if my child’s injuries worsen as they grow?
This is one of the most important reasons to avoid early settlement. Our pediatric injury lawyers ensure that future medical projections, developmental assessments, and long-term care needs are fully built into your child’s injury case before any settlement is finalized.Do I need a personal injury lawyer for a child injury claim?
Yes. Child has suffered a serious injury, and the legal requirements for pediatric claims in Ontario are significantly more complex than standard adult claims. Need a personal injury lawyer with specific experience in cases involving children — our injury lawyers today are ready to help.
