Nationwide Child Injury Lawyers: Safeguarding Our Most Precious Resource
The Unsettling Reality of Childhood Injuries
Childhood should be a time of carefree exploration, boundless imagination, and unbridled joy. Yet, for millions of children across the United States, this idyllic vision is tragically disrupted by preventable injuries.
-
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children aged 1-19, accounting for a staggering 12,000 fatalities each year.
-
Every day, approximately 20 children die from preventable injuries, and over 3 million are treated in emergency departments for injuries sustained in accidents.
-
These injuries can result in lifelong physical and emotional scars, impacting not only the child but also their family and community.
When Negligence and Recklessness Shatter Young Lives
No child should ever suffer due to someone else’s carelessness, negligence, or malicious intent. Whether it’s a catastrophic car accident, a defective toy, medical malpractice during childbirth, or abuse at the hands of a trusted caregiver, these incidents can have devastating consequences. The physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial burdens associated with child injuries can be overwhelming, leaving families feeling helpless and alone.

Standing Up for Children Nationwide: A Wide Range of Child Injury Cases
We handle a comprehensive range of child injury cases, including but not limited to:
-
Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car crashes remain a leading cause of child injury and death. In 2021, over 600 children under 13 were killed, and tens of thousands more were injured in car accidents, according to the NHTSA. We represent children injured in car accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and school bus accidents, fighting for their right to full and fair compensation.
-
Playground Injuries: Playgrounds should be havens of fun and exploration, but unfortunately, they can also be sites of serious injuries. An estimated 200,000 children are treated in emergency rooms each year for playground-related injuries, including falls, equipment malfunctions, and collisions. We hold negligent playground owners, manufacturers, and maintenance companies accountable for their role in these accidents.
-
Bicycle Accidents: Riding a bike is a cherished childhood activity, but it also comes with inherent risks. Over 100 children are killed annually in bicycle-related incidents, and thousands more suffer injuries. We represent children injured in bicycle accidents caused by negligent drivers, defective equipment, or unsafe road conditions.
-
Defective Products: Children are particularly vulnerable to harm from defective products, including toys, cribs, car seats, and other children’s items. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that over 11 million children are treated in emergency rooms each year for product-related injuries. We hold manufacturers and retailers accountable for putting dangerous products in the hands of children.
-
Amusement Park Injuries: Accidents on amusement park rides or attractions can cause severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even death. We investigate these accidents thoroughly, identifying any negligence on the part of the park, ride operators, or manufacturers.
-
Birth Injuries: Birth injuries can have lifelong consequences for children and their families. We represent families whose children have suffered birth injuries due to medical malpractice, such as oxygen deprivation, brachial plexus injuries, or cerebral palsy.
-
Burn Injuries: Children are particularly susceptible to burn injuries, which can cause severe pain, scarring, and emotional trauma. We handle cases involving burns caused by fires, hot liquids, chemicals, or defective products.
-
Car Seat Injuries: Car seats are essential for protecting children in car accidents, but defective or improperly installed car seats can fail to provide adequate protection. We represent children injured in car accidents due to faulty car seats or improper installation.
-
Child Brain Injuries: Brain injuries can have a profound impact on a child’s development and quality of life. We represent children who have suffered brain injuries due to accidents, abuse, or medical negligence, fighting for the compensation they need to receive the best possible care and support.
-
Dog Bites: Dog bites can cause serious physical and emotional injuries to children. We hold dog owners accountable for their pets’ actions and help victims recover compensation for their medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.
-
Choking Injuries: Children are at a higher risk of choking due to their smaller airways and tendency to put objects in their mouths. We represent children who have suffered choking injuries or fatalities due to defective products or negligent supervision.
-
Crib Injuries: Cribs should be a safe haven for infants and toddlers, but defective cribs or unsafe sleep environments can lead to suffocation or other serious injuries. We hold manufacturers and retailers accountable for selling dangerous cribs and other baby products.
-
Daycare Injuries: Daycare providers have a duty to protect the children in their care. When negligence leads to injuries, we fight for justice on behalf of the injured child and their family.
-
Medical Malpractice: While rare, medical errors during childbirth or pediatric care can have catastrophic consequences for children. Birth injuries, misdiagnosis, medication errors, and surgical mistakes can lead to lifelong disabilities or even death. We fight for justice for families whose children have been harmed by medical negligence.
-
Negligent Childcare: Daycare centers and other childcare providers have a duty to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children. When negligence leads to injuries or fatalities, we hold these providers accountable for their actions.
-
Other Child Injury Cases: We also represent children who have suffered injuries due to dog bites, swimming pool accidents, fires, and other preventable incidents.
