Types of Child Injuries
Children tend to be more accident-prone than adults. That said, if someone else’s negligence or mistake contributed to an accident that left a child injured, that party needs to be held accountable.
At Pete Olson Injury Attorneys, we offer our skilled assistance to parents
whose children have been harmed in a variety of accidents, including:
- Birth injuries — The birth process can be very dangerous if mistakes are made by a careless physician or other members of the medical team assisting with the birth. Injuries to children during birth can cause cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and other medical issues that will affect them for the rest of their lives.
- Defective child products — Any product a child interacts with can create risks, especially if it fails to account for how a child will interact with the product or what the child needs from the product. For example, small children will put most objects in their mouths and special consideration needs to be given to the potential for choking.
- Child automobile accidents — Even if they are properly restrained, children face real risks when they are involved in car or truck accidents. A child injured in a car accident may have future needs that can only be identified by a professional with extensive experience. If your child was seriously injured in a car crash, we can help you obtain compensation to help meet their medical needs.
- Dog bites — Children are more vulnerable to dog attacks because of their smaller size. Because they are shorter, they are more likely to be bitten on the face, neck, or head. Such an attack can create emotional trauma and scarring that need to be factored into any considerations of compensation. If your child has been bit by a dog, reach out to us today.
