get the help your child deserves for their recovery.
Child & Infant Injuries
Seeing your child harmed is difficult.
If your child has been injured while in the care of someone else, your primary concern is helping your child get better. You may also be experiencing added worry about the future and likely have lots of questions – How did this accident happen? What if the medical expenses mount up and become unaffordable? What if there are ongoing medical issues that require long-term care? Is the person or organization who was in charge my child at the time of injury legally responsible? Should they provide compensation to help in my child’s recovery? How do I obtain compensation?
“When your child has been injured in someone else’s care, we can establish your family’s rights to legal recourse and compensation. It is unjust for you to have to shoulder the burden of medical care costs for your child’s recovery from injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. We can get you the help and compensation you need and deserve”

What you need to know
about child and infant claims
Claims for injured children are different in several ways from claims for adults. There are different time limits for bringing a claim, the Court and/or Public Guardian and Trustee must approve the settlement, and an adult must act as a “litigation guardian” for the child. In addition, waivers that are commonly used to defeat adult claims, are not enforceable against children, even when signed by their parent or guardian.
Helpforme has experienced lawyers with a proven record obtaining compensation for children injured in auto accidents or while under someone else’s care. Helpforme exists to provide British Columbians with access to justice and the ability to pursue their rights. Please call us for a free consultation.
