Protecting Your Family When Children’s Injuries Occur
Despite the efforts of parents to keep their youngest family members safe, childhood injuries are an unfortunately common occurrence. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unintentional, accidental injuries are a leading cause of injury, disability, and death for children under the age of 18, impacting more than nine million families each year.
At Bednarz & Bednarz, our Nashville personal injury attorneys provide the compassionate client service and experienced legal guidance you need when accidents involving children occur. The leading causes of children’s injuries include:
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Sports and recreational injuries
- Swimming pool accidents
- Defective playground equipment and unsafe surfaces
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Defective toys, children’s clothing, furniture, and other dangerous products
Children can suffer serious and potentially life-threatening injuries as a result of any of the above. These include serious cuts and lacerations, burns, multiple fractures, back and neck injuries, concussion and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and spinal cord injuries resulting in partial or complete paralysis. In these situations, our Nashville personal injury attorneys can seek compensation from those responsible, which can help ensure that your child receives the medical care and treatment they need.
We Hold Responsible Parties Accountable
While children’s injuries are generally deemed as accidents, the fact is that they are often the result of the reckless and negligent actions of others. At Bednarz Law, we hold responsible parties accountable so that you can get the compensation you need to provide for your child and your family during the difficult months and years of recovery to come. Those who may be liable for your child’s injuries include:
- Property owners, managers, and their employees;
- Negligent pet owners;
- Product manufacturers and distributors;
- Coaches, trainers, and recreational staff;
- School administrators and day care providers.
Depending on the situation, you may be entitled to compensation through an insurance settlement or by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the other party or parties involved. In situations in which you do decide to take your case to court, the Tennessee Statutes allow up to a year for you to file a claim.
