San Fernando Valley Child Suffocation Lawyer

The Home Safety Council recently reported that deaths due to choking, strangulation and suffocation are the fourth leading cause of home injury death in the United States, and that young children and older adults have the highest rates of fatal choking and suffocation injuries.  Choking and suffocation injuries that do not result in death, however, can sometimes result in serious and/or permanent medical conditions, including mild or severe brain damage, which could easily destroy a child's future and quality of life.  If you or someone you know has a child who suffered injuries due to suffocation, contact a San Fernando Valley children's injury attorney right away to assist with all matters of your legal case.

Babies and children are naturally curious and prone to bringing objects to their mouths.  Because of this, babies and children have a far higher risk of suffocation accidents, injuries and death than most people.   The truth is, without adequate supervision, any number of seemingly innocuous items can became a suffocation hazard to babies and young children, including plastic bags, extension cords, small objects and toys, to name just a few.
