Child Injury Accidents in Ft. Lauderdale / Miami

If your child is injured in an accident, such as a car crash, the process of seeking compensation can be more complex than for adults. In Florida, a child under the age of 18 cannot independently claim compensation. Instead, a parent or legal guardian must take legal action on their behalf. Attorney Gabriel J. Carrera, based in Fort Lauderdale, is here to guide and assist you through this process.

Child Injury Lawsuits in Florida

Florida’s child injury laws enable parents and guardians to file claims for their injured children. The extent of court involvement in the claim depends on the settlement amount:

Settlements Under $15,000: No court approval required, but parents or guardians are expected to utilize the funds in the child’s best interest.

Settlements Over $15,000: Court approval is necessary. A Petition for Approval of Settlement must be filed, detailing the case specifics and negotiated considerations. The court ensures the settlement serves the child’s best interests.

Court Involvement in Child Injury Settlements

In cases where a settlement exceeds $15,000, the funds are typically placed in a restricted annuity or bank account under guardianship. Withdrawals require a court order, ensuring the money is used appropriately for the child’s needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Gabriel Carrera answered the call when we were called upon to help 5 kids who were suddenly without their parents. We needed a document drafted urgently and he was very understanding and put everything else on hold to get us the documented drafted right away. They're a lot of attorneys but not all have a human side like attorney Gabriel. I asked to make an adjustment and he did it from the comfort of his home after hours, and made sure I got it. I highly recommend you consulting with Attorney Gabriel Carrera if you need an attorney with a heart!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Right off the back, I knew I had the right guy for the job. Attorney Gabe Carrera was reassuring, calm, collected and knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease just minutes after sitting down with him, to go over my legal issues. Once he broke everything down I already felt a lot of weight being lifted from my shoulders.  Very personable and you can tell his heart is truly in it, which is something very unexpected from other attorneys. He is constantly working on your case, very transparent as he does and follows up by phone to fill you in and to see how you are doing. Thank you Mr. Carrera for getting the false allegations against me dismissed successfully, professionally  and efficiently, Of course one always prays you are never in any situation where you need an attorney. But it feels good to know that if such a situation arises, I have the Attorney That Rides just a phone call away. God Bless you good sir!
