In Independence, MO, you have a limited amount of time to file a

21st birthday to file. No matter your child’s age at the time of the accident, it’s important to start building a case as soon as you can. This allows Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer to gather fresh evidence and build a stronger case.

This compensation can help you pay for their care and even provide for non-monetary damages like pain and suffering. Choose a trustworthy attorney to stand up for your child. Choose Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer.
Depending on what caused the injury, you may be able to file a personal injury claim against the negligent daycare or school employees. Children who are left unattended on a playground or around dangerous craft suppliers like scissors can suffer serious injuries. When placed in another adult’s care, it is that person’s responsibility to watch after your child. Negligent adults who put children in dangerous situations, whether it is intentional or not, must be brought to justice.
As with all personal injury cases, compensation is awarded based on the severity of the injury and the maximum amount set by the state, if applicable. The insurance company will review your child’s medical bills, estimates of ongoing care, and the cost of their pain and suffering. These monetary and non-monetary damages will be combined to create a final sum. If this sum isn’t enough, Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer will take the insurance company to court to demand the maximum possible compensation available. Choose us to do the same for your family.
