Find Out How the Experienced and Compassionate San Diego, California Child Personal Injury Lawyers at the Jurewitz Law Group Can Help Your Family After an Accident.
Child Injuries
Teenagers and children are at a higher than average risk of injury from a variety of accidents, including:
- Traffic collisions, including car accidents and motorcycle wrecks
- Distracted driving due to texting or driving under the influence of alcohol
- Burn injuries from fireworks
- Burns and injuries from playground equipment
- Poisoning and harm due to household chemicals
- Slip and fall injuries
- Swimming pool accidents, injuries, and drowning
- Dog bite injuries and scars
In addition to being more susceptible to injury, kids and teens are more likely to suffer more serious injuries than adults. When children are injured, their parents, on their behalf, can bring a claim or file a lawsuit against the company or person who caused their child to be injured. In the tragic case where children are killed due to the negligence of another person, a child’s parent may bring a wrongful death claim.
Child injury accident claims are particularly hard on parents. Parents are particularly sensitive to seeing their child hurt or disabled. Going through these kind of personal injury accidents takes a lawyer who not only can appreciate the special harm caused to the child, but can also help the parent through their own pain and worry with compassion and patience. The Jurewitz Law Group is just such a law firm, with many years of helping injured children and their parents.
