In a personal injury case, the plaintiff, or the individual who is filing the claim or lawsuit, has the burden of proving the various legal elements of the claim. However, the at-fault individual, or the defendant, may raise a defense to that claim.
In some adult personal injury cases, the at-fault party may claim that the accident victim contributed to the accident and his or her injuries in some way. However, the ability to raise that kind of defense in a child injury case depends upon several factors, including the child’s maturity and the child’s age at the time of the accident.
An experienced Gwinnett County child injury attorney at Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC can assist you with responding to any defenses raised by the other side in your child’s case, offering you the best chances of success.
