(864) 582-0416 (864) 582-0416 When children are injured, an adult is often to blame for driving dangerously, failing to lock up a firearm, or forgetting to monitor a swimming pool—the three most common causes of childhood harm. However, when an adult is in charge, they must take all necessary steps to prevent child injuries.
If your child was injured under an adult’s supervision, by a defective toy, through a doctor’s substandard care, by a fall caused by an unsafe condition, or in an auto or firearms accident, contact a Greenville child injury lawyer from Holland & Usry for a FREE case review. An experienced personal injury attorney from our team can help you navigate your legal options.
Caregivers may be family members or other adults responsible for your child’s safety. When caregivers act carelessly and cause an accident that injures a child, they can be liable for the family’s losses, including medical bills, the child’s pain, permanent injury, and the child’s lost future earning capacity.
In addition to parents, siblings, and relatives, caregivers can also include:
Because they are not fully grown, children face a higher risk than adults of dying from injuries caused by others. When a child dies due to someone else’s negligence, parents or guardians can file a wrongful death lawsuit, based on the same elements that a personal injury claim would have required—duty, breach of duty, causation, and injuries. If a negligent caregiver has hurt your child, contact a Greenville child injury attorney for help.
Property owners have a duty to take reasonable precautions to safeguard children who may wander onto their land. If a child is severely injured from trespassing, the case will be complex, but the owner can be held liable if the child’s injury attorney can prove the injury was caused by an unguarded or improperly guarded dangerous condition.
If a children’s product is defective or dangerous and lacks a warning, the designer, manufacturer, or anyone with a duty to warn may be held responsible for the resulting injuries. Defective products can include car seats, toys with small parts that lack appropriate age warnings, flammable bedding and sleepwear, and cribs. If a defective product or an unguarded or improperly guarded dangerous condition harmed your child, a Greenville child accident attorney from Holland & Usry can evaluate your case for FREE and guide you through the legal process.
When a healthcare professional performs medical duties below the acceptable standard, this negligent behavior is referred to as malpractice. The earliest injuries to a child can occur at birth, often when a healthcare professional fails to diagnose a problem (e.g., oxygen deprivation to a baby’s brain), monitor and test the pregnant patient carefully, or order a cesarean section during a problematic birth.
A newborn can also suffer brain damage, physical disabilities, and torso damage from the misuse of forceps. If medical malpractice has harmed your child, a Greenville County child injury lawyer from Holland & Usry can review your case for free and provide compassionate and skilled legal representation.
When a child suffers, parents feel the pain as well. If someone else’s negligence harms your child, an attorney from Holland & Usry can guide you through the legal process.
