Common Types of Child Injury Claims

CAR ACCIDENT CLAIM

Car accidents are the leading cause of death for children. The CDC reports that over 800 children under the age of 14 die and 800,000 are injured annually in the U.S., due to car accidents. Potential defendants include:

At-fault driver
Car manufacturers (defective vehicle or defective vehicle part)
Car seat manufacturer (if the seat is defective)
School District (school bus accidents)
Cities / states (poor road design/ maintenance)

PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIMS

Falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries for children under the age of 15. Annually, about 2.8 million children visit an emergency department for injuries related to a fall. Many times, these accidental injuries, among others, occur on property belonging to someone else. Property owners generally have a duty of care to keep their land reasonably safe and free from any known or knowable hazards for everyone who is lawfully on their property. An injury resulting from the failure to fix or warn about these hazards can be grounds for a premises liability claim.

Potential defendants include:

Schools
Day Cares
Swimming Pool Owners
Playgrounds
City Parks
Amusement Parks

DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

It’s possible for a child to be injured by a defective product. Any company or individual involved in the chain of distribution of a defective product that causes injury can be liable.

Potential defendants include:

Manufacturer: Any business or individual involved in designing or the manufacturing of a defective product, its parts, as well as any business or individual that assembles or installs the product.
Wholesaler: The “middleman” between the manufacturer and the retailer, who sells the defective products to retail stores.
Retailer: The seller of a defective product.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Health care professionals who cause injury by failing to diagnose, improperly diagnosing, making medication errors, surgical mistakes, or causing injuries to a baby during birth can be liable in a medical malpractice claim.

Primary Care Physicians
Surgeons
Hospitals or Clinics
Pharmacists
