Helping Injured Children in All Different Circumstances

If your child has been injured in any situation caused by someone else's negligence, our firm can help. The following are some particularly common causes of injuries to children:

• Negligent schools and day cares: Institutions that take care of other people's children need to provide adequate supervision and security to protect those children from injuries.
• School bus accidents: School bus drivers are under a particularly strong obligation to protect their passengers by driving safely and putting a stop to dangerous behavior.
• Lead poisoning: Lead paint exposure can cause serious brain damage in young children. Landlords have a duty to take appropriate steps to protect children from lead poisoning.
• Scalding injuries: If your child has been injured by scalding hot water, it may be possible to hold the property owner accountable for failing to use water temperature regulators.
• Lack of window guards: Landlords who fail to provide window guards in apartments housing young children are making a serious and potentially fatal error.
• Car accidents: Nobody expects young children to be as careful as adults in traffic. When drivers see children in their vicinity, they need to be particularly careful about their driving.

New York has special legal standards and rules governing cases involving injuries to children. All settlements must be approved by a judge, and settlement funds need to be placed in trust accounts and sometimes structured (paid out over time). Our lawyers have handled these situations many times and understand these rules and are experienced at working within them.

No child should have to go through the trauma of a serious injury. Our firm is dedicated to holding wrongdoers accountable. Let us put our experience and passion to work for you.
