New Jersey Child Injury Lawyer

Childhood is an innocent, precious time. But when an injury or accident occurs, a child’s life may suddenly veer completely off track. If your child has recently been injured in an accident, contact a New Jersey child injury attorney to receive fair compensation.

Long-term and permanent injuries may result in medical bills, loss of wages due to time off to care for your child, long-term inpatient and outpatient therapy, changes to both you and your child’s lifestyles, and pain and suffering.  If your child was recently injured, and you believe the injury is a result of someone else’s negligence, New Jersey child injury attorneys Console & Hollawell will use their experience, knowledge, and skill to ensure that responsible parties are held accountable.

Car Accidents

Children may be injured in car accidents that are the result of a negligent driver, such as one that is distracted while driving, drinking and driving, fatigued, or who fails to follow the rules of the road.

Other car accidents can be the result of automobile-related defects, such as seat belts, seat backs, head restraints, airbags, and tire blowouts.

Still other accidents are caused by highway hazards, such as poor road design, poor location of telephone poles and other obstacles, improper lighting, improper drainage that leads to icy or slick roads, poor maintenance, lack of warning or road signs, and lack of medial barriers. If your child was injured in a car accident, contact a New Jersey child injury lawyer to assess your situation.

Recreational Accidents

Recreational accidents that involve swimming pools, trampolines, and playground equipment cause millions of injuries every year, including catastrophic injuries such as brain damage and spinal cord injury. While many of these injuries are dismissed merely as “accidents,” in many situations the property owner was ultimately at fault. New Jersey child injury attorneys can help determine if someone else was responsible for your child’s accident.

Defective Products

Makers of toys have certain safety standards to adhere to, while manufacturers of all products must ensure that products are reasonably safe for consumers. If a manufacturer is aware of any kind of potential danger, it must warn consumers about that danger. Yet every year, children are injured or die from accidents associated with toys. Toys that are choking hazards are the leading cause of brain damage in young children. Current legislation requires that all toys that are choking hazards are not marketed to children under the age of three, and must carry warning labels indicating the exact reason they are choking hazards. If you believe your child has been injured by a defective product, contact New Jersey child injury lawyers to discuss your legal rights.

Dog Bites

About half of all individuals who are bitten by dogs are children, most of whom are bitten in the face. Most dog bites occur at the homes of people known to the injured children. If your child has been bitten by a dog, discuss your legal options with a New Jersey child injury lawyer.
