Has your child suffered an injury due to a defective toy or product, an organized sports accident, a playground accident, or an unsafe property or environment? Does a child close to you suffer from ongoing acts of neglect and abuse from his caretakers?
Childhood should be a time for growing, learning, and carefree exploration.
But for some children, unfortunately, childhood consists of a host of painful memories. A sudden accident, or the discovery of abuse, can result in both physical and mental trauma for a young person. Watching your child or a family member suffer an injury due to the carelessness of another person or company is heart wrenching.
Child Accidents & Child Abuse Due to their physical and mental immaturity,
children are particularly susceptible to injuries arising from accidents and abuse. Each year millions of young people are injured in the United States due to careless supervision, unsafe environments, and defective toys and products. In addition, according to recent data compiled by The Federal Administration for Children and Families (ACF), an estimated 794,000 children are
victims of child abuse each year.
Child injuries are extremely delicate - you must
consider the well-being and prognosis of the child as well as future medical bills and related costs associated with an accident. A child may require financial support, psychological counseling, and physical rehabilitation long after the trauma from an accident or abuse has subsided.
