What to Do When Your Child is Hurt at School
We send our children to school expecting their teachers to protect them, but accidents happen, whether these are due to an educator’s directly harmful acts, negligence, or improper supervision. A school-related injury lawyer can help you determine whether your child’s injury constitutes legal compensation.
You may be able to sue a school over a child’s injury if they are directly hurt by an educator’s actions or negligence, improper labeling of wet floors, poor sanitation, or a lack of supervision. Schools may be held liable for playground injuries, including head injuries, ankle fractures, broken bones, lost teeth, and slip-and-fall injuries, to name a few examples.
Consulting with one of our experienced child injury attorneys will help you determine whether your child’s playground accident, classroom injury, or other school-related damages merit legal action.
Can You Sue a Doctor For a Birth Injury?
Doctors, nurses, and hospital staff assume responsibility for their patients. During labor and delivery, a physician's actions or medical negligence could result in birth injuries that lead to emotional distress, financial damage, and suffering for you, your family, and your child.
In some cases, birth injuries can lead to lifelong disabilities and impairments that a child will have to live with. These injuries can drastically increase the cost of caring for and raising a child, especially when the birth injury causes permanent brain damage or paralysis.
We are here to help you pursue justice for your baby. Please contact us immediately if your child was harmed during the birthing process, and we will do everything in our power to hold the responsible parties accountable.
What to Do After a Daycare Injury
Finding out your child was hurt in daycare is devastating. In some cases, your child could be hurt by an unsafe environment or lack of supervision. In others, daycare staff may have deliberately inflicted harm upon your child or put them in harm’s way through negligence and improper care.
Children can suffer a wide range of daycare injuries, including infections, burns, fractures, head trauma, choking, poisoning, and more. You, as a parent, have the right to take legal action against the people who put your child’s safety at risk.
With one of our child injury attorneys, we will build a case to create a comprehensive argument for child’s daycare injury, the ensuing damages, and their right to reparation.
