Personal Injury Claims For Injuries To Children

Personal Injury Claims For Injuries To Children

Children rely on adults to provide a safe and secure environment. Safety hazards, code violations and a lack of supervision on playgrounds, at school or near swimming pools can put children at risk of severe and even life-threatening injuries. Our Alabama personal injury attorneys at McPhillips Shinbaum, LLP, understand the long-lasting physical, emotional and financial impact these types of injuries can have on your child and your family. We are deeply committed to protecting children’s’ rights and will help you recover maximum compensation for your child’s injuries, including medical expenses, pain and suffering and other damages.

Types Of Accidents That Cause Injuries To Children

Children frequently sustain minor scrapes, bumps and bruises when playing, running, jumping and roughhousing, but sometimes serious injuries occur because of someone else’s negligence or recklessness. Schools, childcare centers, summer camps, activity centers and other facilities have a duty to keep their premises safe and properly supervise children to prevent injury. If your child is injured due to hazards or inadequate supervision, the property owner, individual and entity may all be liable.

For more than 43 years, our personal injury attorneys have represented children throughout Alabama who have been hurt due to:

  • Defective toys
  • Broken or defective playground equipment
  • Playground accidents
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Day care accidents
  • Fights and bullying
  • Car accidents
  • Crosswalk and pedestrian accidents

Personal Injury Cases Involving Children Can Be Complex

Proving fault in personal injury cases involving children can be challenging. Children may be unable to remember or explain how an accident occurred, and bringing an action against a school or other public entity can be an uphill battle. That’s why it’s vital to seek the counsel of experienced Alabama personal injury lawyers who understand the multifaceted aspects of cases in which children have been injured or killed. Our skilled legal team will thoroughly investigate the incident and pursue claims against all liable parties to ensure they are held accountable. There are statutes of limitations on most personal injury claims in Alabama, and claims against public schools, parks, municipalities and other public entities have strict procedures and deadlines that must be followed to recover compensation. If your child has been injured, it’s important to seek the counsel of a qualified attorney right away.
