Learning that your child has been seriously injured is a deeply distressing experience that no parent or guardian should ever have to face. When these injuries result from an adult’s reckless or careless actions, the emotional impact can be even more profound. While it is completely natural to feel upset, these emotions can sometimes make it challenging to effectively advocate for your child’s rights and secure the compensation they deserve.
This is why having experienced and compassionate legal support is so crucial. With a Chandler child injury lawyer from Phillips Law Group, you can navigate this difficult time with confidence, knowing that you have skilled professionals dedicated to securing fair compensation for your child’s injury-related losses while easing the burden on you and your family.

Holding Responsible Parties Accountable for Child Injuries
While child injury lawsuits share many similarities with adult injury claims, they come with their own set of procedural nuances. Both types of cases are generally based on the legal theory of negligence. This means that if someone is found directly at fault for causing an injury by breaching their duty of care, they can be held financially responsible for the damages resulting from their negligent behavior.
However, specific circumstances can affect liability. For instance, while landowners in Arizona might not be liable for injuries sustained by adult trespassers, they could be held accountable if a child trespasses and gets injured due to dangerous conditions like an unguarded swimming pool or hazardous construction equipment. In such cases, the attractive nuisance doctrine could come into play, allowing a Chandler child injury attorney to pursue a claim based on the unique vulnerabilities of children.
Common Child Injury Claims
Children get hurt in many of the same ways as adults. Our team handles child injury claims stemming from a variety of accidents, including car and truck accidents, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and more. Additionally, children can sustain injuries in accidents unique to young people, like playground injuries, school bus accidents, and negligent supervision.
What Filing Deadlines Apply to Child Injury Cases?
Another important aspect of child injury litigation is understanding the statute of limitations. Typically, the standard statute of limitations for personal injury claims applies, giving parents or guardians up to two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit on behalf of their child.
However, if a child wishes to file a claim independently once they reach adulthood, they may have up to two years after their 18th birthday to initiate legal action, provided no adult has previously filed on their behalf. A Chandler child injury attorney can offer detailed advice on the best approach based on the specifics of the case during a private consultation.

Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
