Yes your daughter may have a case. You would have to bring the claim on her behalf since she is a minor. I would be happy to discuss the case with you. My law firm is licensed in both New Jersey and Florida. Feel free to call me at 877-795-2993. Thank you.
In order to bring a tort claim action against a public entity, a notice of claim must be filed with the entity within 90 days of the accident. If the accident occurred in a public park, you should keep this time sensitive filing requirement in mind and speak to a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Best wishes,
There are some important issues here: First, you have a strict time limit in which to file the notice of claim with the entity. Second, you will have to show a defect that caused your injury. Feel free to call our office to talk about your options and recovery. No charge for a consultation: 267.639.3105. -Danny Cevallos
You need the guidance of a lawyer who is familiar with such matters. My firm regularly handles such personal injury cases. I would be happy to help you with this claim. Keep in mind that you may have only a limited time to file an action on behalf of your daughter, and even less time if you intend to file against a public entity. So you need to act soon.
Please note that I only have the little information that you put into your question and my response is presented as a general response to that question. It is not intended as, nor should be construed as, legal advice or opinion.
