Common causes of child injuries
Child injuries often occur because adults, companies, or institutions fail to maintain safe conditions. Understanding how these incidents happen helps determine who may be responsible and what kind of compensation may be available.
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Children are frequently injured as passengers, pedestrians, or bicyclists when drivers fail to follow traffic laws or pay attention.
- Unsafe Playgrounds or Schools: Faulty equipment, poor supervision, or unaddressed hazards can lead to falls, broken bones, and head injuries.
- Defective Children’s Products: Toys, cribs, strollers, and car seats that malfunction or are poorly designed can cause choking, burns, or crushing injuries.
- Negligent Childcare Providers: Daycare centers and camps can be liable for injuries caused by lack of supervision, abuse, or unsafe facilities.
- Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Unrestrained animals can cause lasting physical and emotional scars.
- Drowning or Near-Drowning: Pools, lakes, and camps without proper barriers or lifeguards create deadly risks.
Each of these situations may involve multiple responsible parties. A child injury lawyer can investigate every detail, secure evidence, and hold negligent individuals, businesses, or institutions accountable.
Common injuries in child accident cases
Children’s bodies are still developing, which makes them more vulnerable to long-term harm. Even a seemingly minor injury can lead to permanent consequences that affect growth, mobility, or learning.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Common in falls or playground accidents, often requiring surgery and physical therapy.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries that impact memory, mood, and development.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Resulting in chronic pain, paralysis, or loss of coordination.
- Burns and Lacerations: Caused by unsafe equipment, defective products, or lack of supervision.
- Internal Injuries: Hidden trauma to organs that can lead to dangerous complications if undiagnosed.
- Psychological Trauma: Anxiety, fear, and post-traumatic stress following a violent or frightening incident.
A child’s recovery is about more than immediate medical bills. Serious injuries can require years of treatment, rehabilitation, and specialized care. Families may also face emotional trauma, missed work, and financial instability.
Raipher’s attorneys work with pediatric and medical specialists to calculate the true cost of these injuries, ensuring every medical, emotional, and future need is accounted for in the claim. We calculate not only what your family has already lost, but what will be needed for your child’s future health, education, and well-being. Settling for less can jeopardize that future. We make sure that doesn’t happen.
