How Common Are Childhood Injury Claims?
Each year, hundreds of kids throughout the state of Florida are injured in accidents not of their own doing. These are incidents, that had the person in charge taken proper care, it would have never occurred. As a result many families decide to pursue legal action against the at-fault individual or entity, in an effort to overcome the immediate financial issues often associated with such accidents. Personal injury attorneys at Farah & Farah help such families obtain recompense for one or more of the following damages:
- Medical expenses, both short and long term
- Emotional and physical therapy costs
- Doctor and specialist bills
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
Where do Child Injuries Most Often Occur?
As one would expect, childhood injuries can occur just about anywhere. However, some of the more common locations are where a parent would expect the least amount of risk. Those areas include:
Playgrounds, Parks and Pools: Despite state and local ordinances, requiring park officials and pool directors to maintain a safe environment for everyone, children often end up paying the price for management’s disregard.
Theme Parks: While most large amusement parks take great pains to insure their customer’s safety, sometimes they simply fall short. When this occurs, children are often the victims, suffering life-altering and traumatic injury due to ride malfunction and improper maintenance.
Schools: Probably the most frequent offender, injuries and schools almost go hand-in-hand. However, when those wounds come as the result of a neglectful or irresponsible individual within the school, parents have a right to hold them responsible.
