Child Injuries

Injury to Children Lawyer • Injury to Children Attorney

Children are a high risk for many injuries, such as those caused by car accidents, dog bites, fireworks, amusement park rides, pools and swimming related accidents, bicycle riding, lead poisoning, scalding water, medical malpractice, playground equipment (defective products), ingestion of household products.

A lot of parents entrust their children to school bus drivers to deliver their children to and from school. It has been reported that approximately 12,000 children are injured each year in school bus accidents. While most injuries are minor, some injuries are catastrophic and even result in death. Many school buses do not have restraint systems or seat belts. A school bus accident may occur for a number of reasons: driver negligence, defective products and weather. If your child is injured while as passenger in a school bus contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at Carol Rosenbloom Associates, LLC to discuss your case.

Children Bitten by Dogs

While children often enjoy dogs, sometimes dogs bite. When a small child is bitten by a dog, the child can suffer permanent scarring, disfigurement and emotional damage. A dog owner may be responsible to compensate you for your child's injury even if the dog didn't bite your child. Often children are injured when trying to flee from a dog. The dog owner may be liable in these dog fright cases.

Amusement Parks

Family vacations to amusement parks can be a lot of fun. However, parents must be watchful. Most amusement parks have a height requirement. Sometimes parents assume the ride is safe for their four or five year olds if the meet the height requirement. Unfortunately that is not always the case. A Pennsylvania couple whose four year old died while riding Epcot's Mission: Space , in 2006, has filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney World for allowing such a small boy on the ride, not providing adequate warnings about the potential hazards associated with the ride and did do enough after the four year old lost consciousness.

Swimming Pools

At home or on vacation, a pool can be a dangerous place. A pool owner is generally fully responsible for any children in the pool. Air filled toys and swimming aids never should substitute for proper supervision of minor children. In any type of water event, children should be supervised at all times by a responsible and sober adult. The adult shouldn't be distracted by a book or a cell phone.

Handguns

Another tragedy to children involves handguns. A gun owner must be responsible in allowing access to the handgun. Many times, guns are left lying around, only to be found by a child, who picks it up out of curiosity, pulls the trigger and is seriously injured. If the gun owner is a homeowner, there might be homeowners insurance that compensates the victim of such a shooting.
