CHILDHOOD INJURIES MAY BE RESULT OF NEGLIGENT CHILDCARE PROVIDERS—CALL BAY AREA PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS NOW (Part 2 of 2)

Although some parents may wish to protect their children all day, every day, that is not possible in most situations. Children may be left with day care, family or at school. Parents, in leaving their children with their respective child care providers, expect that their children will be safe and in responsible hands. Unfortunately, accidents that result in injury or death occur quite often. According to statistics from the National Safety Council, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control and other sources:

Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for children and teens.
Children under the age of fourteen account for 30% of all fall-related visits to the hospital.
Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children under fourteen years old, and the majority of drowning incidents occur in residential pools or open water sites.
Airway obstruction is the leading cause of death in infants under one year of age.
More than 200,000 children each year visit the hospital for playground related injuries.
Nearly 79% of injuries on the playground are caused by falling on the ground.
Forty percent of playground injuries are related to playground climbing equipment.

If your child has been injured under the care of someone else, and it was a result of someone else’s negligence, then you need to speak to an attorney as soon as possible. Accidents in which children trip on their own feet and fall may not be a result of another’s negligence, but if the child falls and suffers serious injury because of the condition of the childcare provider’s home, then you may be able to obtain compensation. The attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP handle all cases on a contingency basis. This means that you will pay no legal fees unless we collect money for you. If we don’t recover money for you, you will not owe us a fee. To get a free consultation from one of our knowledgeable attorneys, call us now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
