If you have experienced a birth injury that has left your child injured, then you owe it your family to take legal action. Read more about birth injuries…

Car Seat Injuries
Car seats were designed to protect the children who ride in them. However, not all car seats are designed in a way that meets the safety standards for which they are known. When this is the case, the child safety seats can actually become dangerous to the children riding in them. Read more about car seat injuries…

Child Abuse
Child abuse can take shape in physical violence as well as negligent inattention. Young children rely upon their caretakers to provide them with loving attention; as such, parents should expect nothing less from the people and facilities they entrust with the safety of their children. When abuse and negligence occurs, you owe it to your children and yourself to take legal action. Read more about child abuse…

Child Brain Injuries
It is not a coincidence that almost one million newborns and children suffer from brain injuries each year. Many of these injuries could have been avoided if the proper safety measures were taken by medical facilities and the adults who supervise young children. Read more about child brain injuries…

Child Medication Errors
Medication errors can cause serious illness and even death to those who are given the wrong medications for their ailments. Young children are particularly susceptible to this risk, as their undeveloped bodies are less than prepared to handle the adverse side effects that often result from medication errors. Read more about child medication errors…

Choking Injuries
Choking can be fatal or non-fatal depending on the circumstances of the situation. However, even instances that do not result in death could result in serious injury such as brain damage. Children should not be given objects that could be easily choked on; along the same lines, products are meant to provide warning labels when choking hazards exist. Unfortunately, warning labels cannot always be trusted and it is easy for children to obtain unsafe objects that present a choking threat. Read more about choking injuries…

Crib Accidents & Injuries
Crib defects can cause serious accidents and catastrophic injuries to the children involved. While safety tests and product recalls work to prevent crib accidents and injuries, they are not always reliable or they come too late. Read more about crib accidents and injuries…

Day Care Injuries
It can be difficult to know which day care facility to entrust with the safety and wellbeing of your child while you are at work. Unfortunately, some facilities have shown signs of abuse, neglect, defective products, and even exposure to poisonous chemicals. If your child was injured or made ill at their day care facility then you should not wait to take legal action regarding the matter. Read more about day care injuries…

Defective Products and Toys
Children's toys and baby products such as cribs, feeding spoons, walkers, and more have been cited for their defects. That being said, it is not unusual to hear of accidents and injuries among children using these defective products. Although they should have been put through a strict set of safety tests before making their way onto the shelves, the fact is that they weren't and now their defects are contributing to the harm of infants and young children. Read more about defective products and toys…

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Children are among the most common victims of dog bites and animal attacks. The most unfortunate part about this is that children are often unable to protect themselves in the same way that an adult could, making them much more susceptible to catastrophic injury or even death when they are bitten or attacked. Read more about dog bites and animal attacks…

Firearm Accidents & Injuries
You may not own a gun, but you cannot presume that the parents of your child's playmates are not firearms owners. The natural curiosity of young children often leads them to areas and objects of restriction, firearms among the most dangerous of these restrictions. If your child was injured or killed by a firearm to which they should not have had access to begin with, you can take legal action against the gun owner. Read more about firearm accidents and injuries…

Paralysis
Paralysis often results from direct injury to the spinal cord. These types of injuries are usually caused by preventable accidents. Even children are susceptible to the dangers inherent in accidents that might lead to paralysis, and when a child is left paralyzed the rest of their life could be adversely affected. Read more about paralysis…

Pediatrician Malpractice
Pediatricians are prone to making mistakes just like anyone else. Unfortunately, when a pediatrician makes a mistake such as prescribing the wrong medication or misdiagnosing an illness the results could be catastrophic. In addition, some pediatricians act negligently and cannot be relied upon for sound medical advice. Read more about pediatrician malpractice…

Playground Injuries
Children between the ages of 7 and 14 are highly susceptible to playground accidents, and these types of accidents often lead to serious injury that could land your child in the hospital. Playgrounds at day care facilities, schools, churches, etc. are expected to have supervision to ensure the safety of the children playing on them. When they do not, dangerous consequences are bound to happen. Read more about playground injuries…

Poison Chemical Injuries
A child's developing body and immune system should not be exposed to harmful toxins and poisonous chemicals. Anyone can become ill from this type of exposure and children are even more susceptible. Although the chemicals may be free from your home, you cannot ensure that they are not lurking in the schools, day care facilities, etc. that your child attends daily. Read more about poison chemical injuries…

Strangulation
Unintentional death in infants is very often caused by strangulation. If your babysitter, day care facility, or hired childcare professional is responsible for strangling your newborn, whether or not the act was intentional, they should be held liable for damages done to your child. Read more about strangulation…

Suffocation
A child can easily suffocate from a choking incident. This is a common accident, as a child's natural curiosity often prompts them to put many different objects in their mouth. Products that present a choking/ suffocation hazard are required to note so on their warning labels. However, a mislabeled product or an inattentive caretaker that fails to see these warnings could quickly lead to suffocation catastrophe. Read more about suffocation…

Swimming Pool Accidents
In areas of Southern California such as the San Fernando Valley it is not uncommon for many homes to include swimming pools. While this is a luxury that many envy, it can also be a huge safety hazard to young children that do not know how to swim. Home owners with pools are responsible for fencing them off; community pools are responsible for providing safety equipment and lifeguards. Read more about swimming pool accidents…

Traffic Accidents
Children are just as prone to injury from an auto accident as are their adult counterparts. Parents cannot avoid taking their children along with them on car rides. Furthermore, they cannot prevent other drivers from acting negligently or recklessly while on the road. As a result, many children are injured in car accidents every year. Read more about traffic accidents…

Wrongful Death
Many accidents involving children result in more than just injury; many result in death. When these accidents were ones that could have been prevented had the proper safety measures been taken, they are cases of wrongful death. A parent can seek retribution for the loss of their child by hiring a children's injury attorney and filing a wrongful death claim. Read more about wrongful death…
