Injuries caused by foster parents

We serve child injury victims

A foster parent has an "affirmative duty" to protect a foster child from harm. However, that duty is not always observed consistently. The network of public and private agencies that oversees foster homes does not always have the time to routinely investigate and monitor every child's well-being.

An injury may take the form of emotional distress in punishment, such as extended isolation, or an act of negligence like withholding meals. Of course, there are physical injuries that may require surgery, or cause broken bones, or even death.

Child injury can result in pain, frustration, and expenses. Let us help give meaning to justice in your case. Call 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. If you have any questions at all about recovering damages from a childhood injury, contact us today for your free case evaluation at (800) 477-9044.
