Watching your child suffer is terrible. However, it’s even worse if you learn that your son or daughter’s pain was unnecessary and only occurred because of someone else’s irresponsibility.
If someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or misconduct has caused your child harm, your family has legal rights. A knowledgeable Spartanburg child injury lawyer at Holland & Usry can investigate what happened to your son or daughter and guide you through the process of filing a personal injury lawsuit against the people responsible.

Everyone knows that kids love to explore and occasionally get hurt as a result. Luckily, most child injuries are minor and heal quickly. Unfortunately, some kids suffer severe injuries or even death. When a child’s injury occurs in an accident or incident that was preventable, somebody else might be legally at fault.
A premises liability accident occurs when a property owner fails to make their property safe, and a child gets hurt. For instance, if the property has an unenclosed swimming pool or unfenced backyard trampoline—a child could wander onto the property and drown or suffer a serious injury. A child could also get seriously hurt if they encounter an unleashed dog.
Many child injuries occur in car accidents. If a crash occurs because of a negligent driver, the child’s family could sue the at-fault motorist.
Children can experience severe harm when products malfunction. For example, a child may suffer injuries when their car seat fails to restrain them sufficiently. Kids can also suffer harm from faulty or unsafe toys, such as when a toddler’s toy has pieces that pose choking hazards.
Caregivers are supposed to watch closely over children to ensure they don’t get hurt. If a daycare, teacher, or babysitter fails to properly watch a child in their care, the child’s family could have grounds to file a lawsuit.
Many kids suffer injuries while playing sports. Although many sports injuries are purely accidental, some can be avoided. For instance, if a child suffers an overuse injury due to improper training, their coach or athletic trainer could be at fault. If a child suffers harm because of poor conditions on the playing field, the people in charge of maintaining the fields could be liable.
Sadly, some children suffer harm because of another person’s intentional abuse that occurs because the school or business they work for didn’t protect your child from them. Our compassionate legal team can fight to hold accountable both abusers and their employers who looked the other way or should’ve known better.
