The instinctive and unconditional love and joy for a child are among the strongest of human sentiments. So when a child is injured or killed, it can be the most tragic event parents and loved ones will ever have to endure.

Tragically, children are seriously injured every day in accidents of various causes. Unfortunately, someone else's negligence is often a significant factor in injuries to children. Many of these injuries could have been avoided if proper safety measures had been taken.

If your child is injured, you generally have until your child’s 18th birthday to bring a case on behalf of your child. Once the child turns 18, they have an additional year (their 19th birthday) to bring file a lawsuit. However, it’s generally not a very good idea to wait long since important evidence may be lost and the case of a younger child will be worth more than an older child who has generally recovered well from most injuries.

Although just about any personal injury area can pertain to injuries to children, some common types of child injuries include:

• Dog bites
• Sexual abuse
• Daycare injuries and abuse
• School bus and pedestrian accidents
• Birth injuries or death
• Car accidents
• Defective Products
• Wrongful death

Birth Injury or Child Traumatic Brain Injury

If your child suffered a birth injury, it may be the result of medical negligence. Birth injuries can be caused by mistakes made by doctors or hospitals during delivery. Excessive force being used to deliver a child, delaying the performance of necessary C-section or deprivation of oxygen to the child are only a few of the factors that can lead to a birth injury. Sometimes medical care professionals have failed to diagnose or properly treat various conditions that arise during pregnancy and can lead to birth injuries. The ramifications of a brain injury to a child are many and complex. It is vastly important to have your child properly evaluated and tested after any head injury resulting in loss of consciousness.
