Common Causes of Child Injuries

Some of the most common causes of child injuries are:

Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents are a leading cause of injury and death among children in the U.S.

Drowning

Drowning is another leading cause of injury or death for children under 14. According to the CDC, It is responsible for more deaths than any other cause in children ages 1-4, other than birth defects.

School Injuries

Damaged equipment or unsafe landing surfaces on an improperly maintained playground can cause injuries. Additionally, students may be harmed as a result of the actions or inaction of another student, teacher, or administrator.

Daycare Injuries

Parents should never have to worry about their child’s safety when they are at a daycare facility. However, unfortunately, there are many cases of children being harmed due to a lack of supervision or poorly trained staff.

Poisoning

Children under the age of six are particularly at risk for unintentional poisoning from certain household chemicals since they do not understand their dangers.

Dog Bites

Dog bites are often not fatal, but they do send tens of thousands of children to the emergency room each year.

What To Do if Your Child is Injured

If your child has suffered an injury caused by the negligence or recklessness of another person or business, you must act quickly. The following steps must be taken, as it is critical to document the accident, injuries and who may be liable:

  • Photos: Take photos of where the incident occurred and any injuries.
  • Medical records: Request your child’s medical records.
  • Video Footage: Check if there are security cameras nearby where the injury occurred, and obtain any video footage, if possible.
  • Witness Information: gather contact information for any individual who witnessed the incident, so they may be contacted later for a full statement.
  • Lost Wages: Keep records of any time off you take from work in order to care for your child.

Document anything else you think may be relevant, such as statements your child makes in regards to the incident, what others did to assist, and if this is a recurring event.

Damages for Child Injury Lawsuits

An experienced Phoenix injury lawyer will have skilled investigators who can act quickly to preserve critical evidence and build a solid case. While you can spend valuable time with your child, and assist them as they recover, instead of dealing with any legal issues that arise.

There are certain types of compensation you may be able to recover, including payment of all past and future medical bills, ongoing treatment and counseling, lost wages for caregivers, as well as pain and suffering. In particularly egregious cases, punitive damages may be available. By having a skilled legal team working for you and your family, you will gain peace of mind and feel confident in the claims process of seeking maximum recovery for your child’s injury.
