Frequently Asked Questions
My neighbor forgot to put his car in park on his property and it rolled onto the sidewalk running over my toddler causing severe injuries including broken bones. Can I file a lawsuit against his homeowner's insurance policy?
A:
Your child injury claim revolves around the concept of negligence and determining who was at fault for your child’s injuries. Without knowing the specific details of your toddler’s accident, there’s no way to guarantee that your neighbor’s homeowner’s insurance will cover your child’s injuries. For the best answers to your questions about your child injury claim, you should speak to an Andover child injury attorney.
When determining who to file a lawsuit against in a child injury claim you need to consider where your toddler was at the time of the accident. Your neighbor’s homeowner’s insurance typically covers accidents to children on their property, and young children such as your toddler are generally not held liable for trespassing since they are unaware of such boundaries.
There are many factors involved in your child injury claim including the extent of the injuries, whether or not proper safety measures were taken to prevent the accident, and if your toddler was being properly supervised at the time. All of these factors can be looked at by an experienced Andover child injury attorney to determine your best course of action for your child injury claim.
