Child injury claims require extra care because a child's symptoms may show through behavior, sleep, school, anxiety, appetite, or activity changes rather than clear adult-style descriptions of pain. The legal process can also involve additional protections because the injured person is a minor. Parents should avoid rushing decisions before they understand the medical, developmental, emotional, and practical impact of the injury.
