Parents are often required to sign pre-injury releases as a prerequisite for their children to participate in certain events. In Florida there are specific laws that apply to these releases; this makes it imperative that you consult an expert personal injury lawyer in Orlando who can help you review your options for recovering damages.

Here are some of the most common reasons for injuries or wrongful death of children in Florida:

  • Sports injuries
  • Injuries from fireworks
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Animal bites/attacks
  • Unsafe toys or defective equipment/products
  • Child abuse of any sort
  • Swimming and drowning accidents
  • Accidents in the playground
  • Slips or falls
  • Theme park or amusement park accidents
  • Medical negligence or malpractice
  • Injuries due to negligence at school or daycare facilities

Whatever the cause of the injury to a child may be, the person who caused it must be held accountable and made to pay for the damage caused, and an Orlando personal injury attorney can help you with it.

A child who gets injured may suffer physically and psychologically; if the injury is serious, there could be long-term ramifications for the child and family, like permanent disability. At Bryan W Crews we collaborate with medical professionals to ensure we have an accurate assessment of the total loss suffered by your child and family.

The victim may require medical care for the rest of their life, special treatment like say, physiotherapy, use of special medical equipments, special education and so on. If the injury is so severe as to prevent the child from working in adult life, the family will need to plan for lifelong care. This may necessitate one of the parents from quitting work or reducing work hours, you can seek compensation for lost income.

These are the possible injuries a child may suffer due to accidents and animal attacks:

  • Concussions
  • Lacerations
  • Dislocated joints
  • Head injuries
  • Fractures
  • Burns
  • Internal injuries
  • Back and spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Loss of limbs
  • Loss of sight or hearing
  • Disfigurement
  • Emotional or mental trauma

When it’s your child that has suffered a devastating injury or worse, died, no amount of money can suffice for the anguish your child or family goes through; a claim of compensation for personal injury however, serves to hold the wrongdoer responsible and accountable for their actions and to bring some financial relief to the bereaved family.
