Children Involved in Auto Accidents
Children involved in an auto accident in Honolulu can suffer injuries without presenting "classic" or noticeable symptoms. The child may be too young to communicate a problem, or may not have developed enough where a disability can be fully observed. Symptoms such as lethargy, reduced or poor appetite, and unusual restlessness may be the only evidence that a child has been injured. Older children may complain of fatigue, headaches, neck pain, or difficulty reaching full range of motion. Often, only a careful medical evaluation of a child involved in an auto accident can detect these problems.
How parents should proceed
As an experienced auto accident lawyer in Honolulu, Mr. Crabtree suggests that any child involved in a car accident receive a thorough medical examination by their pediatrician or other physician a soon as possible.
