These types of accidents can occur in a number of different places, with the most common being at school or day-care, amusement parks, playgrounds, or even just at home.

Common Child Injuries

Injuries that a child can sustain are just as varied as the accidents that may cause those injuries. The most common type of child injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Severe lacerations
• Scarring
• Burn injuries
• Brain injuries

Who Is Responsible?

There can be a number of people who may be held responsible for a child’s injuries. The most obvious one will be the person who is in charge of supervising the child when they are injured. This can include the nanny or babysitter if they are at home, teacher or day-care worker if they are injured in either of those places, camp counselor, coach, or lifeguard.

In some situations, there may not be a particular person, but an institution that is charged with caring for a child. In this instance, if a child is injured at school or summer camp, the institution may be held responsible rather than a particular person.

If the child is injured on a specific premises that has not been properly maintained, then the owner or person in charge of maintaining the premises that caused the child’s injury can be held responsible.

If the child is injured as a result of a product defect, then the manufacturer of the defective product will be responsible for the child’s injury.

What Compensation May Be Available?

Serious injuries to a child can be life-altering for the child, but also for you if they require extensive and expensive medical care and special treatment. Depending on the extent of your child’s injuries and the circumstances of the accident, you may be able to seek compensation for things such as medical bills, future medical bills, pain and suffering, mental/physical therapy, household and vehicle modifications to accommodate the child’s injury, and more.

The Lenahan Law Firm will assess your case by making sure that you have a strong argument for all elements of a personal injury case. They will ensure that the defendant had a duty to act with reasonable care, they breached this duty in some way and the victim’s injuries were the result of this breach of duty. This way they will be able to assess your case and how much compensation you may be able to recover.
