Liability in Child Injury Cases 

Children suffer scrapes and bruises almost on a daily basis while playing. These are to be expected. However, there are times when children are seriously injured as a result of accidents. While many of these severe injuries are unintentional, most are a result of accidents that could have been avoided. These accidents often occur as a result of negligence on the part of adults. There are several ways how this can happen. 

Caretaker negligence 

When you place your child in another adult’s care, you expect that they will be watchful and keep your child from harm. This is true whether you drop your child off at school, daycare, or even a holiday camp. Caretakers are required to supervise and monitor children to ensure their safety. However, when a caretaker fails to do so, accidents can occur. When this happens you can hold the caretaker or the institution they work for responsible for your child’s injuries. 

Defective products 

Manufacturers have the responsibility to produce and distribute safe products. This is especially true when the intended consumer of the product is a child. It is easy for children to be injured as a result of using an unsafe product. When this happens it is possible to hold the company behind the product responsible for your child’s injuries. Both the manufacturer as well as the retailer that sold the product can be held liable. 

Premises liability 

Property owners are required by law to ensure their properties are reasonably safe for guests or visitors. They are therefore meant to attend to hazards or provide adequate warning about the hazards. While property owners have no obligation to protect trespassers, this does not apply to children. Property owners can be held liable for injuries children sustain as a result of dangerous conditions on their property even if the child wandered onto their property without an express invitation.
