Orlando Child Injury Lawyer
When a child is hurt because of someone else’s negligence, the impact extends beyond the injury itself—it affects the entire family. Parents face hospital visits, emotional distress, and uncertainty about their child’s future. If your child was injured in an accident, an experienced Orlando child injury lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you hold the responsible parties accountable and secure the financial recovery your family deserves.
Understanding Child Injury Claims
Children are more vulnerable to serious injuries because they are still developing physically and emotionally. Florida law allows parents or guardians to pursue compensation on behalf of their injured children when negligence is involved. Spencer Morgan Law has years of experience handling sensitive child injury cases with care and persistence, ensuring that your family’s rights are protected every step of the way.
Common Causes of Child Injuries
- Car, truck, and bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall incidents at schools, parks, or businesses
- Daycare or school negligence
- Unsafe playgrounds or equipment
- Drowning or pool-related accidents
- Dog bites or animal attacks
- Defective toys or children’s products
Our firm investigates each case thoroughly, working to identify all negligent parties and determine how the injury occurred. We pursue maximum compensation to help your child recover and regain stability.
Steps to Take After a Child Is Injured
- Seek immediate medical care for your child.
- Report the incident to the property owner, school, or relevant authority.
- Document the scene and your child’s injuries with photos and notes.
- Keep medical reports, bills, and any related communications.
- Avoid discussing the incident with insurance companies without legal advice.
- Contact Spencer Morgan Law to discuss your legal options.
Types of Injuries Children Commonly Suffer
Children’s injuries can range from minor to severe, and some may have long-term effects on growth or development. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones and sprains
- Head trauma and concussions
- Burns and lacerations
- Spinal injuries
- Emotional or psychological trauma
In more serious cases, children may face permanent disability or require ongoing therapy and specialized care. Our firm ensures that all future needs are accounted for when calculating damages.
Compensation Available in Child Injury Cases
Parents may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and rehabilitation
- Long-term care and therapy
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of future earning capacity (for severe injuries)
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to care
At Spencer Morgan Law, we understand that no amount of money can undo what happened, but fair compensation can help provide stability and access to the care your child needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child was injured at school or daycare?
Schools and childcare providers have a legal duty to ensure safety. If your child was hurt due to poor supervision or unsafe conditions, you may be able to pursue a negligence claim.
How long do I have to file a child injury claim in Florida?
In most cases, parents have two years from the date of the injury to file. However, exceptions may apply for minors, so contacting an attorney quickly is best.
What if the insurance company offers a quick settlement?
Never accept a settlement without consulting a lawyer. These offers often undervalue long-term medical and emotional needs.
Can I recover compensation for emotional distress?
Yes. Florida law allows parents and children to recover for mental and emotional suffering caused by another’s negligence.
Do child injury cases usually go to court?
Many are resolved through negotiation, but Spencer Morgan Law is fully prepared to take your case to trial if needed.
