In Massachusetts a child, just like an adult is entitled to recover to medical expenses, scarring, disfigurement, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. If the child’s injuries are permanent and life altering such as with a brain or spinal cord injury, the child may be entitled to lifetime medical care and support services. Ultimately, the value depends on the permanency of the injuries, the effect the injuries have on the child’s life and the amount and duration of medical care and treatment. The value is established by prior jury verdicts and awards for similar injuries as well as the amount of insurance coverage available. If the case is not settled the value is ultimately determined by a jury. At Thomas M Kiley & Associates we have many years of experience in evaluating and settling cases which aids our ability to value claims involving injury to child and young adults.
