As parents, we do everything in our power to keep our children safe from harm. Unfortunately, no parent can realistically protect their child from every possible unforeseen risk. This is especially true when we leave our children under the supervision of others, such as at a daycare or school. Tragically, there are situations where the very people and facilities we trust to care for our children instead put them in harm’s way.
When someone’s negligence or recklessness leads to your child’s injury, you should demand answers and justice. At Kevin A. Adamson, P.C., our Norcross child injury lawyers can investigate what happened and fight to hold the at-fault party accountable. We will help you assess your losses and pursue the full financial compensation you need to provide the best possible care for your child.
