Tampa Child Injury Lawyer

When a child is injured, the pain extends far beyond the physical. Families face emotional, financial, and psychological challenges while trying to protect their child’s future. At Spencer Morgan Law, our compassionate Tampa child injury lawyer represents families whose children have been harmed due to the negligence of others. We understand the sensitivity of these cases and are committed to fighting for justice, accountability, and the compensation needed to support your child’s recovery and well-being.

Understanding Child Injury Cases

Children are more vulnerable to accidents because of their size, curiosity, and dependence on adults for safety. When a property owner, school, caregiver, or company fails to provide a safe environment, the results can be devastating. Florida law allows parents to file claims on behalf of their injured child to recover damages for medical expenses, emotional trauma, and long-term care needs.

At Spencer Morgan Law, we handle every case with care and dedication, working to ensure that negligent individuals or organizations are held responsible. We know that no amount of money can undo an injury, but we can help secure the resources needed for a child’s healing and future stability.

Common Causes of Child Injuries

• Car accidents, including as passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists
• Playground or school accidents caused by poor supervision
• Slip and fall injuries on unsafe property
• Dog bites or animal attacks
• Swimming pool accidents or drownings
• Defective toys, furniture, or household products
• Medical malpractice or birth injuries

Our legal team investigates the cause of your child’s injury and identifies all liable parties, from property owners and manufacturers to schools and childcare providers.

The Impact of a Child Injury

The consequences of a child’s injury often extend into adulthood. Beyond the immediate pain, children may face surgeries, therapy, or developmental challenges that require long-term treatment. Emotional trauma can also linger, affecting school performance and confidence. Parents, meanwhile, must navigate medical bills, time off work, and the emotional toll of watching their child suffer.

Spencer Morgan Law works with pediatric specialists, financial experts, and therapists to fully understand how the injury will impact your child’s life now and in the future.

Steps to Take After a Child Injury

1. Seek medical treatment immediately to ensure your child’s safety and create documentation of the injury.
2. Report the incident to the proper authority, such as a school official, property owner, or police officer.
3. Take photos of the accident scene, your child’s injuries, and any hazards that contributed to the event.
4. Collect contact information from witnesses and anyone involved.
5. Save all medical bills, reports, and communications with insurers or responsible parties.
6. Contact Spencer Morgan Law to discuss your case and begin protecting your child’s rights.

What Compensation May Be Available

A successful child injury claim can help your family recover compensation for:

• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and future care
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and trauma
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Educational or developmental support needs
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Parental lost income from caring for the injured child

Our attorneys carefully evaluate every factor to pursue the maximum compensation available under Florida law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can file a claim for a child injury?

A parent or legal guardian can file a claim on behalf of the injured child. The compensation is typically held for the child’s benefit until they reach adulthood.

What if the injury happened at school or daycare?

Schools and childcare centers are responsible for providing a safe environment and adequate supervision. If negligence or improper conduct caused your child’s injury, the facility may be held liable.

How long do I have to file a child injury claim in Florida?

Generally, parents have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. However, some child-related claims may have extended deadlines, so contacting a lawyer early is essential.

Can I sue for emotional distress my child has experienced?

Yes. Florida law allows recovery for both physical and emotional harm caused by another party’s negligence, especially when the victim is a child.

How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?

We handle child injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees. We only get paid when we successfully recover compensation for your family.
