Child Injury Lawyers
Precious possessions
Children are our most precious possessions. As parents and guardians, we worry about their safety and well-being daily, especially since we cannot be by their side 24 hours a day. Instead, we trust their care in the hands of supervisors at school, day care, and recreational facilities. There is no excuse for the negligent actions or inactions that cause a child to suffer an injury. We understand it is heartbreaking to see your child in pain and you are consumed with grief and maybe even guilt. Let us help your family through this difficult time and guide you through every step to hold the responsible party accountable for their negligence.
Specialized knowledge
Virk Personal Injury Law has been appointed to act on behalf of the Office of Children’s Lawyer to represent the interests of children. Our expertise is trusted and respected. In Ontario, there are many specific legal rules to be followed when acting for children who have been injured. For example, a litigation guardian has to be appointed to act on the child’s behalf. Also, any settlement where a child is involved, even if a formal court proceeding has not been started, must be approved by the Superior Court of Justice to ensure it is made in the best interest of the child
