When your child sustains an injury, the only things that matter are caring for and spending time with them. At the same time, you likely need compensation to help pay the medical bills and access the resources they need to heal. The path to getting there isn’t always easy and can take you away from your child. Instead, let a Rome child injury lawyer from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers handle all that hard work for you.
You deserve the best. Don’t settle for less. We will investigate the accident that caused your child’s injuries and pursue the party responsible for your losses. To learn more about our Rome personal injury lawyers, contact us today. You’ll speak with a team member within 48 hours of your call.
Typical Compensation for Child Injury Cases in Rome, GA
We win big for our clients, and our case results show it. We’ve represented over 10,000 injured Georgians and recovered over $30 million for them. We can achieve these outcomes in part due to our insight into the insurance industry. Our founder, Seth Bader, used to work for these companies, so he knows how they conduct business and analyze and litigate cases.
Your Rome child injury attorney can use this knowledge to determine and fight for fair compensation that is often classified into these two categories.
Economic Damages
These losses have a fixed financial value. In child injury cases, they might include past and future medical care costs, income you couldn’t earn since you took time off work to care for your child, and the cost of modifying your home to accommodate a disability.
Noneconomic Damages
Noneconomic damages account for the physical and emotional effects of the child’s injuries. Although they don’t have a definitive value, one of our lawyers can calculate a figure that reflects the extent of these losses. Examples of noneconomic damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Finally, if your child passes away from their related injuries, a Rome wrongful death lawyer on our team can pursue compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress the surviving family members have endured, and funeral and burial costs.

Establishing Negligence to Recover Compensation After a Child Injury in Rome
We serve clients whose children suffer injuries in several types of incidents, such as:
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Premises liability
- Car accidents
- Dog bites
- Truck accidents
- Medical malpractice (e.g., birth injuries)
There’s one thing each of these accidents has in common: negligence, which involves someone having to provide your child with a high standard of care. Instead, they breached (or neglected) their duty and caused an accident. As a result, your child sustained an injury and incurred several damages. All the elements mentioned above must be present in your case to receive compensation.
We’ll help you substantiate your negligence claims by gathering and presenting evidence, including an incident report, photographs and videos, medical records, and witness testimony. Let your Rome child injury attorney know if you have any other documentation that could bolster your claim. Every bit helps.

A Rome Child Injury Attorney on Our Team Can Help You File Suit On Time
The state restricts how long child injury claimants have to sue another party. Per O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you typically have two years from the day the injury occurred to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you bring a wrongful death lawsuit, the deadline would most likely be the second anniversary of your child’s passing.
Depending on the circumstances, the state may give more time to submit a lawsuit. Still, no matter how long you have, the best time to start building a case is now. The state strictly enforces the statute of limitations, and not filing before it expires could jeopardize your legal right to compensation.
However, if you inform our attorneys in Rome about what happened to your child immediately after the incident, we can help you avoid this negative outcome. Our team consists of well-trained, competent professionals who won’t waste any time getting to work on your case and will help you sue by the deadline.
