When a child is injured in Spring, Texas, the impact reaches far beyond the initial medical emergency. Parents often face overwhelming emotions, unexpected medical bills, and uncertainty about their child’s long-term well-being. In these moments, understanding what compensation may be available in a child injury case is essential.
At Bivona Law, we focus on protecting children and supporting families through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Led by Drew Bivona, known as “The Voice for Kids”, our firm represents injured children across Texas, including families here in Spring. We offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for your child.
Compensation is not about placing a price tag on a child’s pain. It is about ensuring that your child has the resources necessary to heal, grow, and thrive after an injury caused by someone else’s negligence.
Children are still developing physically, emotionally, and cognitively. An injury that may seem manageable at first could have long-term consequences that affect education, social development, or future earning potential. Proper compensation helps provide access to medical care, therapy, specialized education services, and long-term support if needed. For families in Spring, pursuing compensation can also bring accountability and peace of mind.
One of the most immediate forms of compensation in a child injury case involves medical expenses. This includes emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, follow-up appointments, and rehabilitation services.
However, child injury cases often require looking beyond current bills. A serious injury may require years of physical therapy, occupational therapy, counseling, or specialized treatment. In cases involving traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries, lifelong care may be necessary. At Bivona Law, we carefully evaluate not only current costs but also projected future medical needs. Settling too early without understanding the long-term impact can leave families facing financial strain later.
Texas law allows injured children to seek compensation for pain and suffering. While no amount of money can undo trauma, this form of compensation recognizes the physical discomfort and emotional distress a child endures.
Children may experience anxiety, sleep disturbances, fear, or behavioral changes following an accident. In some cases, trauma can affect academic performance or social interactions. These effects deserve recognition in any settlement or verdict. Because children may not always articulate their emotional struggles clearly, these cases require careful evaluation and compassionate advocacy.
In severe cases, a child’s injury may affect their long-term earning potential. For example, permanent disabilities or cognitive impairments can limit future career opportunities.
Calculating future earning capacity involves projecting how an injury could impact education, job prospects, and lifetime income. These calculations require thorough analysis and often expert input. Our role is to ensure that your child’s future is fully considered, not just the immediate aftermath of the accident.
In addition to a child’s claim, parents may also have separate claims for medical expenses they have paid or will pay on their child’s behalf. Lost wages due to time off work to care for an injured child may also be considered in certain situations.
Understanding how these claims interact is important. Child injury lawsuits are different from adult claims in several ways, including court approval requirements for settlements involving minors. Courts often review and approve settlements to ensure they are in the child’s best interests.
In many Spring child injury cases, compensation may be placed into a structured settlement or trust until the child reaches adulthood. These arrangements are designed to protect the funds and ensure they are available when the child needs them.
While this process may add an additional step, it provides important safeguards that prevent misuse and protect long-term financial security. At Bivona Law, we guide families through these procedures so they understand exactly how compensation will be handled.
Drew Bivona’s dedication to children is personal. In 2020, he and his wife became foster parents and later adopted their son, who is now five years old. His passion for advocacy comes not only from legal experience but from fatherhood.
Before founding Bivona Law, Drew represented hundreds of personal injury and chemical exposure victims across Texas while working at a boutique litigation firm in Houston. He has stood up to powerful defendants and complex insurance claims. He also defended small and medium-sized businesses across the country against the Internal Revenue Service and state tax agencies, giving him insight into how institutions operate—and how to challenge them effectively.
His journey began at 19 when he enlisted in the United States Navy. During six years of active duty and three overseas deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, he developed discipline and resilience under pressure. While serving, he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Professional Aeronautics before attending law school at Louisiana State University. That foundation of service shapes how he approaches every child injury case in Spring today.
Insurance companies may attempt to minimize compensation or push for quick settlements. Without experienced legal guidance, families may accept far less than their child truly needs.
