File a Claim Representing Your Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSince an injured child cannot fight for their claim on their own, parents or legal guardians have the right to apply for the claim as their legal representative. In many states, they are known as the ‘next friend’ who is appointed by the court to protect the rights of the minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A next friend could be one parent, both the parents, a legal guardian, or a court-appointed lawyer. Moreover, depending on your local laws, you might also need to take the court’s approval to deem you as your child’s legal representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once these claims are settled, and the victim gets the reimbursement, the fund can be secured as a trust for the child and can be used for their higher education. The amount of the claim will depend on the extent of damages suffered by the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
