The petition contains vague allegations at paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18 that do not give sufficient information to the court about the minor's injuries, expenses, etc. The petition must be amended to allege sufficient information for the Court to make an informed adjudication on whether the settlement will be reasonable and sufficient based on the injuries to the minor.
Adequate documentation that the minor has fully recovered, or is expected to fully recover from the injuries. There were no attachments supporting the allegation at paragraph 9 of the petition, thus there is no support for a finding that the minor will fully recover or that the settlement is adequate to provide for the minor's future care. Please note: It is insufficient to attach the initial medical records. The Court needs confirmation of a full recovery, thus current, recent records showing minor suffers no symptoms from the original injury are required
