Car Accidents

Every year, children in Pennsylvania are injured by car accidents that could have been avoided. Some of these accidents are the result of driver negligence, such as when a driver is drunk, distracted, fatigued, or not adhering to traffic laws. Other children sustain injuries in car accidents as a result of automobile-related defects, such as those related to seat belts, seat backs, head restraints, airbags, and tire blowouts. Still other accidents are caused by highway hazards, such as poor road design, poor lighting, lack of warning or road signs, poor location of telephone poles and other obstacles, improper drainage that leads to icy or slick roads, or poor road maintenance. If your child was injured in a car accident, contact a Pennsylvania child injury lawyer to discuss your rights.

Defective Products

Both toy manufacturers and manufacturers of other products are responsible for ensuring that their products are reasonably safe for consumers to use. It’s particularly sad when the toys we expect to entertain our children end up hurting them instead, but this is the situation for many families every year. Toys that are choking hazards are the leading cause of brain damage in young children, but other defective toys and products also cause injury. If your child’s injury was the result of a defective product, a Pennsylvania child injury attorney can help.

Dog Bites

About half of all individuals who are bitten by dogs are children, most of whom have been bitten in the face. Dog bites can cause scarring, nerve and tendon damage, and long-term fear. If your child has been bitten by a dog, know your legal options by seeking the advice of Pennsylvania child injury lawyers.

Recreational Accidents

Trampolines, swimming pools, and playground equipment cause millions of injuries every year. While many parents automatically take responsibility for these accidents, believing the accidents could have been avoided with their intervention, in most cases this simply isn’t the case. Quite often, investigation reveals that the property owner where the accident took place is at fault. If you believe someone else was at fault for your child’s injury, a Pennsylvania child injury lawyer can ensure responsible parties are held accountable.
