My son was injured at age 5, is now 17.5, and due to his fall he suffered at age five his legs do not match. He had a surgery at (on our dime) to try to level him out, but he is still off by 5-6cm. This affects his back and his hips, and he limps noticeably.
His original injury was a serious fall at the neighbor's home where he was being babaysat. He broke his femur there. Is there anything that can be done to settle now, since he was a minor when he fell... and it took this many years to see "how he would do." Now he has reached his full height,likely, and he is way off. He was offered settelements five years ago or so, but we never knew how he would fare, so we did not settle. What to do now? Does something need to be agreed before he reaches age 18, in January 2009?
