A child injured or deceased as a result of negligence can be a very hard experience for any parent and family. When a child is hurt, parents or guardians of a minor under the age of 18 can bring a claim or lawsuit on the child's behalf. Injuries can result from:
- Auto accidents
- School bus accidents
- Fireworks
- Playground equipment
- Premises liability
- Ingestion of household products such as medication or cleaning
- substances
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Severe burns
- Medical malpractice
- Swimming-related accidents
- Pediatric lead posioning
- Sexual abuse by a teacher, coach, or clergy member
