What Is a Paediatric Injury?

A paediatric injury refers to any serious physical harm sustained by a child, often requiring medical treatment and, in some cases, long-term care or rehabilitation. These injuries can affect a child’s development, education, and quality of life, placing emotional and financial strain on the entire family.

Common Causes of Paediatric Injuries Include:

  • Motor vehicle collisions (as passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists)
  • Cognitive impairments affecting decision-making and reasoning
  • Emotional and behavioural changes
  • Speech and communication challenges
  • Physical disabilities such as weakness or paralysis
  • Ongoing need for medical treatment and rehabilitation

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, or other serious incident, Oatley Vigmond can help you navigate the complex legal process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Paediatric Injury FAQ

Can I file a lawsuit if my child has been seriously injured?
Yes. In Ontario, parents or guardians can pursue a personal injury claim on behalf of an injured child. These claims can help secure compensation for medical care, rehabilitation, and other long-term needs resulting from the injury.
Compensation may include coverage for medical expenses, therapy, special education support, assistive devices, future care costs, and pain and suffering. In severe cases, it may also include funds for long-term care and support as your child grows.
In most cases, Ontario law gives parents two years from the date of the injury to begin a claim. However, when the injured person is a minor, the timeline is extended, and the two-year period usually starts when the child turns 18, though it’s best to act quickly to protect your child’s rights and preserve important evidence.
