Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

Daughter's bus accident
My daughter was 5 when her bus driver had been following a car to closely and had to slam on her breaks. My daughter was lying down on the bus sit and was throwen under the seat in front of her were she hit her head on the metal bar underneth the other seat. She obtained a gash in her forehead and was bleeding all over her clothing the bus driver drove her home and never had medical help called. Now the Bus company is saying that my daughter was neglictful and they were not at fault for her injurys intirely. Can a 5 year old with learning disablitys be responsable for her self? And should we even consiter the $5,000 settlement they have offered?

Re: Daughter's bus accident

Dear Sirs:

Your daugher cannot be held comparatively negligent under Illinois law.

She is entitled to compensation for any scarring as well as medical bills and pain and suffering.

Please call should you wish to discuss.

Many thanks,

John
