What Should I Do if My Child Was Injured in a Pedestrian Crash in San Antonio, TX?
If your child was injured in a pedestrian crash in San Antonio, TX, you should ensure they receive medical attention, report the crash to police, gather evidence, obtain the driver’s information if possible, and notify your insurance company.
To show what happened, you should gather the police report, crash photos, nearby surveillance footage, witness contact information, and your child's medical records. These materials can help establish how the collision occurred and support your child's claim.
Depending on the coverage available, health insurance, Medical Payments coverage, or Personal Injury Protection under an applicable family auto policy may help cover treatment. When PIP applies, it generally provides benefits regardless of who caused the crash.
Beyond medical bills, a claim may include your child's pain and suffering, future treatment costs, and other losses related to the collision. The amount recoverable depends on the injuries and how they affect your child's daily life.
Under Texas law, personal injury lawsuits generally have a two-year filing deadline, but the deadline for a child's claim is usually paused until age 18. Parents' separate claims and cases involving government entities may have earlier deadlines or notice requirements.
If the driver denies responsibility for your child's injuries, a pedestrian accident lawyer can gather evidence to establish what happened and support your child's claim. An attorney can also handle discussions with the insurance company and explain the special legal requirements that apply when a child is injured.
