If your child has been injured in an accident, it can be difficult to set aside your emotions and figure out what to do next. When someone hurts another person through their negligent actions, they should be held responsible. As a parent, it’s natural to want justice.

Our team at Viles & Beckman has recovered over $100 million for injured accident victims and their families. Call us today to schedule a free consultation to learn how our Bradenton personal injury lawyers can assist with your child’s injury case.
Benefits of Working With Our Attorneys
Handling a personal injury case alone is rarely advisable, especially when your child is involved. Insurance companies often work hard to reduce or deny claims, making the process even tougher during an already stressful time. Experienced legal support can make all the difference.
Our child injury attorneys in Bradenton can handle your case from start to finish and fight to get you the compensation you deserve. Some of the benefits of working without a team include:
Compassionate Legal Support
Our team has over 40 years of combined experience. We treat every client like family, and when you place your trust in us, we’re fully dedicated to fighting for your recovery and peace of mind. We’ll offer our best advice and make sure you understand your legal rights and options.
Through Accident Investigation
We want to understand what happened and who injured your child. We’ll investigate the incident, and we may refer to police reports, security cameras, and witness statements. Once we determine who is liable, we can start developing our strategy.
Comprehensive Case Management
We can file your claim, handle all of the paperwork and make sure it is accurate and submitted on time, and deal with the insurance company so you don’t have to. You’ll know your claim is in good hands so that you can take care of your family.
Complete Compensation Assessment
We will review your damages and calculate a number that fully compensates you for your present and future damages. Our goal is to recover maximum compensation for your expenses and the suffering your child has endured.
Skilled Insurance Company Negotiations
We’ll negotiate on your behalf a settlement that fully covers the hardships. In many cases, the insurance company prefers to settle out of court, and it’s typically better for our clients as well.
Experienced Civil Representation
If the insurance company refuses to cooperate reasonably, we’ll take it to the next level. We can file a civil lawsuit on your behalf and let a court determine your award.

Types of Child Injury Cases We Handle
Our Bradenton child injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases where kids are hurt through no fault of their own. Unlike an adult, a child’s awareness of the world is still developing, and they must depend on the people around them to keep them safe.
When those people fail, children can suffer serious injuries. Some of the common cases we see are:
- Auto accidents: Innocent children can endure injuries as passengers in vehicle collisions caused by dangerous drivers.
- Bicycle accidents: Children can get hurt while riding bikes due to careless driving or unsafe road conditions.
- Pedestrian accidents: It is a tragedy when children are struck by vehicles due to driver inattention or traffic violations.
- School injuries: Unsafe conditions, negligence on the part of staff, or lack of supervision in schools is never acceptable.
- Daycare injuries: We hold daycare facilities accountable for harm caused by neglect, abuse, or inadequate staffing.
- Playground accidents: You expect your child to be safe on the playground and not injured due to unsafe equipment or lack of supervision.
- Sports injuries: Kids can get hurt playing sports, but it should never be because of unsafe facilities, faulty equipment, or a lack of proper oversight.
- Dog bites: Children attacked or bitten due to an owner’s failure to control their dog can suffer catastrophic injuries.
- Premises liability injuries: Like adults, kids can endure injuries after slips, falls, and other accidents caused by unsafe property conditions.
- Dangerous products: Toys, snacks, and other items used by children must be safe, free from defects, and properly designed and labeled.
How Much Does a Child Injury Lawyer Cost?
Our attorneys bill for their services on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing up front when you hire our firm, and owe nothing until we win your case. Once we recover money for you, we’ll take a predetermined percentage of your settlement as our fee. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.
This means our services are accessible to anyone, no matter their financial situation. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers to protect their interests. You deserve the same type of quality legal representation in your corner.
