Common Causes For Child Injuries

Children are naturally curious and full of energy, which can make them more prone to accidents and injuries. Understanding the common causes of child injuries is crucial for parents, caregivers, and society as a whole to take preventive measures to reduce the risk of injury. While each child injury case is unique, here are some common causes to be aware of:

Falls

Falls are a leading cause of child injuries, largely resulting in traumatic brain injuries. They can occur from playground equipment, stairs, furniture, or uneven surfaces. Negligent supervision, inadequate safety measures, or a lack of proper safety equipment can contribute to fall-related injuries.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Traffic accidents involving vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians can result in severe injuries for children. Factors such as reckless driving, distracted driving, failure to yield, and inadequate pedestrian safety measures can contribute to these accidents.

Burns

Children are particularly susceptible to burn injuries due to their curious nature and lack of awareness about potential dangers. Common causes include hot liquids, open flames, electrical appliances, and exposure to hot surfaces.

Drowning

Drowning is a significant concern for young children, particularly in swimming pools, bathtubs, and natural bodies of water. Insufficient supervision, lack of barriers, and inadequate swimming skills are common factors contributing to drowning incidents.

Defective Products

Defective car seats, toys, cribs, or other products designed for children can cause catastrophic injuries. Manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, or design flaws can contribute to product-related accidents.

Playground Accidents

More than 200,000 children, ages 14 and younger, are treated in emergency departments yearly due to injuries associated with playground equipment. Playground hazards such as improper ground surfaces, overcrowded play areas, unprotected elevated areas, head entrapment spaces, and sharp points and edges often cause playground injuries.

Child Injury Statistics

Child injury statistics in California are a significant concern, as they reflect the vulnerability of children and the need for effective prevention efforts. Here are a few key points to consider:

  • The California Coalition for Children’s Safety and Health reports that every ten years, nearly 10,000 California children and youth suffer due to unintentional fatal injuries.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that in 2020, 607 child passengers ages 12 and up were killed in motor vehicle accidents. In the same year, over 63,000 children were injured due to this type of accident.
  • Children aged 0 to 4 have one of the highest injury rates concerning consumer products. Some of the most common consumer products that cause injury to children are beds, pillows, chairs, and sofa beds.
  • In 2020, 24% of fatalities among child passengers involved an alcohol-impaired driver.

Recoverable Damages in a Child Injury Claim

As an injury victim, your child may be eligible for financial compensation for the preventable injuries and damages they sustained in an accident. The following are some of the types of damages your child may be entitled to:

  • Medical expenses
  • Medical treatment costs
  • Property damage
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Punitive damages

In the unfortunate incident that the accident caused the death of your child, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf.

Hiring an experienced child injury lawyer will ensure that your injured child’s personal injury claim is strong and valid. A child injury attorney will also protect your child’s best interest from insurance companies who may try to trick you into lowering the value of your child’s claim.

Hiring a Child Injury Lawyer

If you decide to take legal action against the at-fault party, it is in your and your child’s best interest to hire a qualified child injury lawyer. Personal injury claims, most especially child injury claims, can be very complex. A child injury lawyer has specialized knowledge and experience in handling cases involving children, understanding the unique legal considerations and potential long-term consequences.

They can navigate the legal system, gather evidence, assess the full extent of damages, and negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of the child and their family. Additionally, a child injury lawyer can ensure that the child’s best interests are prioritized, fight for fair compensation, and provide guidance and support throughout the entire process, giving parents peace of mind and maximizing their chances of a successful outcome.
