As one might expect, “unintentional injury” is the most common category for accidents involving injuries to young children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and these accidents include falls, burns, drowning, poisoning, and auto accidents. If your child has been injured in an accident due to the negligence of another person or entity, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
– Professional malpractice – Malpractice can be committed by a variety of professionals, such as dentists, doctors, and therapists, and you may be entitled to compensation by filing a claim against the professional and his/her insurance carrier. Like other personal injury claims, malpractice claims have a statute of limitations, so speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the accident. – Premises liability – Accidents caused by poor maintenance of a facility may include burns, slip-and-falls, and pool-related injuries, and the property owner may be legally liable for an accident caused by poorly-maintained premises. – Auto accidents – Auto accidents are the leading cause of death among people between ten and nineteen years of age, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and holding a negligent driver accountable for your child’s injuries requires strong evidence that the driver breached his/her duty of care on the road, which directly resulted in the accident and your child’s injuries. An experienced personal injury attorney will be there for you and your child every step of the way and ensure that you are fully compensated for the damages, including medical expenses and your child’s pain and suffering past, present, and future.
