Few experiences are more heartbreaking than seeing your child hurt — especially when the injury was caused by someone else’s carelessness. Whether it’s a car accident, a school incident, or a dog bite, parents are often left feeling angry, confused, and helpless as they try to comfort their child and navigate a complicated legal system at the same time.
Child injury cases are both legally and emotionally complex. They involve unique procedures and legal protections designed to safeguard minors, and they require a deep understanding of how an injury can affect a child’s physical, emotional, and psychological development.
That’s why it’s essential to have an experienced and compassionate attorney who not only understands California personal injury law, but also appreciates the sensitivity required when representing injured children and their families. You need someone who will fight tirelessly for justice while ensuring your child’s long-term well-being is protected.
In California, a child injury case arises when a minor (anyone under 18) is harmed because of another person’s negligence, recklessness, or failure to provide a safe environment. These cases often occur in everyday settings — schools, parks, neighborhoods, and vehicles — and can involve multiple parties who share responsibility.
Child injury claims are a distinct area of personal injury law because minors cannot file lawsuits on their own; instead, a parent or guardian must act on their behalf. The goal is to ensure the child receives proper compensation for medical care, recovery, and future needs.
Unfortunately, children are especially vulnerable to accidents and unsafe conditions. Some of the most common child injury cases we handle at Tim Wright Law include:
Because children are still growing and developing, their injuries can have long-term physical, emotional, and psychological consequences. Even after the wounds heal, a child may struggle with anxiety, fear, or post-traumatic stress — making it critical that the legal process considers the full scope of their suffering and future care.
At Tim Wright Law, we approach every child injury case with compassion and determination. We understand that no amount of money can erase a parent’s fear or a child’s pain, but financial recovery can help ensure the child receives the medical treatment, therapy, and resources needed to move forward.
Not all personal injury lawyers are equipped to handle cases involving children. These claims require a unique blend of legal skill, compassion, and sensitivity. Choosing the right attorney can make all the difference in protecting your child’s rights and securing their future.
The best lawyers for child injury cases in California share several key qualities:
Attorney Tim D. Wright is known throughout California for his hands-on approach, integrity, and proven record of results. With extensive experience in both personal injury and workers’ compensation law, he brings a deep understanding of how accidents impact entire families.
At Tim Wright Law, we don’t treat cases like files — we treat them like families. Every client receives personalized attention, strategic representation, and unwavering advocacy from start to finish. We believe that injured children deserve not just compensation, but the chance to rebuild their lives with security and dignity.
At Tim Wright Law, we know that child injury cases require more than legal skill — they demand compassion, patience, and a deep commitment to doing what’s best for the child. Our team approaches each case with the care and thoroughness it deserves, ensuring that every step we take protects both the child’s immediate recovery and long-term future.
The first step in protecting an injured child’s rights is to uncover exactly what happened and who is responsible. Our firm conducts a complete and detailed investigation into the cause of the injury. This includes reviewing police reports, school or daycare records, medical documentation, and witness statements. We also examine whether any unsafe conditions, defective products, or negligent supervision contributed to the harm.
Children’s injuries can have lasting effects on their physical, emotional, and psychological development. That’s why we work closely with medical professionals, therapists, and child development specialists to evaluate the full scope of the injury — not just the short-term impact. Their insights help us build a case that accurately reflects your child’s present and future needs.
Dealing with insurance companies after a child’s injury can be overwhelming for any parent. Adjusters often aim to settle quickly for less than what’s fair. Our team handles all communication with insurers, opposing attorneys, and other involved parties — protecting your family from added stress and ensuring that your child’s best interests remain the top priority.
Because settlements for minors must be reviewed by a judge in California, we take every measure to ensure that the proposed agreement meets court standards and safeguards your child’s financial future. Whether the funds are placed in a trust or structured settlement, our goal is to guarantee that your child’s recovery is fully protected and responsibly managed.
Every case we handle is treated with empathy, respect, and individualized attention. We understand the emotional challenges families face after a child is hurt, and we provide clear communication at every stage of the process.
Our team is bilingual in English and Spanish, proudly serving families across Burbank, Van Nuys, Los Angeles, and throughout California. And because we believe every family deserves access to quality legal help, we work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay no upfront fees. We only get paid when we win your case.
When a child is injured, parents shouldn’t have to navigate the legal system alone. You deserve an attorney who will handle your case with compassion, dedication, and experience — someone who understands what’s at stake and will fight for your child’s right to a safe and healthy future.
California law provides strong protections for children harmed by negligence, but time is critical. Acting quickly helps preserve key evidence, allows your attorney to investigate while details are still fresh, and ensures all legal deadlines are met — especially when government entities or public institutions are involved.
At Tim Wright Law, we combine legal expertise with genuine care for the families we represent. Our goal is not only to win your case, but also to give you peace of mind knowing your child’s rights and future are secure.
