If your son or daughter sustained an injury requiring surgery or involving broken bones, it may not become evident until several years later that the injury has not healed properly. It is important to understand how the state of New York regards statutes of limitation on childhood injury cases. You may still be able to recover damages for this improper healing.
Broken bones in children often result from recreational injuries, such as a bicycle accident. Children may require surgery to recover from an injury sustained in a house fire, automobile accident, or dog attack. However the original injury occurred, if the treatment the child received does not heal properly over time, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Contact the Law Offices of James Morris today.
A childhood injury may have occurred several years ago, but that is a small amount of time compared to your child's lifetime of coping with the effects. New York law allows for an extended period of recovery for damages as the statutes of limitations on an injury to a child may not begin to be tolled until that child turns 18.
