What Leads to Child Injuries?
Children are very susceptible to injury and require careful adult supervision. Unfortunately, many children suffer injuries in preventable accidents, resulting in sometimes lifelong implications. Common causes of child injuries include the following.
Motor Vehicle Collisions: Children who are in the vehicle during an accident can suffer from serious injuries, especially if they do not have the proper seats or restraints. Brain damage, burn injuries, and paralysis may occur during a car accident.
Suffocation Injuries: Children, especially infants, can be suffocated by plastic bags, soft blankets, stuffed animals, and other hazards. Suffocation injuries lead to prolonged oxygen loss and brain damage and are often fatal. A suffocation injury lawyer in Fresno can fight for justice for your child after a preventable accident.
Drowning: Small children may wander away from babysitters, daycare providers, and other caregivers and fall into a pool or other body of water. Drowning accidents are often fatal. Children who survive drowning may sustain permanent brain damage.
Falls: Falls are one of the most common causes of injury in children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Children can fall on playgrounds, down the stairs, or even on slippery paths or floors. Our Fresno slip and fall injury attorneys have seen incidents lead to broken bones, traumatic brain injury, and cuts.
Who is Responsible for Negligence?
Negligence is often the cause of many child injuries. Injuries can occur at a place of business, on a playground at school, a daycare, or a person’s house. Responsible people for negligence may include:
Parents (the child’s own)
Other children’s parents (if the child was under their care at the time)
