Any injury caused by negligence may be grounds for a personal injury claim, but some of the more common personal injuries occurring to children include:
- Brain injury
- Burn injury
- Joint injuries and broken bones
- Birth injury leading to cerebral palsy
- Wrongful death
Obviously, these devastating injuries can alter the life of you and your child forever. Extensive medical treatment and ongoing rehabilitative care may be necessary. Your child may be permanently disfigured as a result of the injury. Head injuries are one of the most common injuries for children, and can result in serious cognitive, behavioral and physical problems.
Children have a tendency to get hurt, which is a perfectly normal part of childhood; however, when injury results from an auto accident, playground accident, or another accident caused by someone’s negligent actions or failure to exercise care, you and your child deserve to be compensated for the cost of the injury.
If your child suffered an injury because of someone else’s carelessness in Ohio or West Virginia, including Huntington, Charleston, Morgantown, Belpre, Athens and Parkersburg, please contact the experienced personal injury attorneys Jim Leach, Attorneys at Law to schedule a consultation.
