Calculation of Damages for a Child's Injuries in a Car Wreck
The first thing you should do is to seek medical care for your child after an accident. If the crash is severe enough that an ambulance is called to the scene, it is in the best interest of your child to go to a hospital for a full medical diagnostic. Depending on the age of the child during the accident, any damage might cause the child's physical development to be stunted or altered. More info on this

Some injuries are not visible to the naked eye, but only in x-rays or through the examination by a medical professional. So even if your child is old enough to express his or her pain, don't take their word for it. Allow them to get a full examination.

These cases often require certain legal presentations to win compensation from the driver who is at fault. The guilty person could be ordered to pay general damages and special damages.
General damages include pay off for physical pain and suffering and disfigurement if applicable. But if the child was permanently disabled in the car accident, the general monetary damage awarded could be higher than those for an adult. That's because a child who is disabled will not be able to take care of themselves. So their financial support will depend on family members, or they will become dependent on government assistance. And as a disabled person he or she will need expensive medical care. Got Injured In An Accident -
