Episode Summary
In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses the legal considerations parents should know if their child is injured in an accident. As a former insurance defense lawyer now advocating for injury victims, Jordan explains that the law treats minors differently than adults, particularly regarding statutes of limitations. While parents have two years to file claims for medical expenses, a child’s personal injury claim can typically be filed up to two years after they turn 18. Children can recover damages for pain, suffering, and future impacts, often resulting in higher compensation due to lifelong effects. Jordan also highlights safeguards for settlements exceeding $25,000 to protect the funds until the child reaches adulthood. He encourages parents to pursue claims even if the at-fault party is a family friend, emphasizing the importance of thorough assessments for long-term injuries and consulting specialists before settling. Finally, Jordan reassures parents hesitant to pursue legal action to at least seek legal advice, underscoring their duty to protect their child’s interests and ensure justice.
