Ask any parent — there is nothing more valuable or precious than the health and well-being of his or her children. While many parents strive to no end to protect their kids from harm, accidents happen and, sadly, children can be seriously hurt.

In these tragic circumstances, where a child is injured by someone else's negligence, the emotional toll on the parents can seem no less severe than the physical pain experienced by their child. Although the law permits children to bring a claim against someone who caused their injuries, the legal remedies available to the suffering parents are not as well-defined.
