It is a parent’s worst nightmare — your child is injured in an accident. Seeing your child in pain and not being able to stop that pain is devastating.  When the pain is caused by a preventable accident, it is also extremely frustrating and infuriating.

If your child has been injured in an accident, you may have a cause of action against one or more parties. To determine if your child is entitled to receive compensation for a personal injury claim, consult with an experienced Sacramento personal injury attorney. Call our office at (916) 999-9000 to speak with an experienced Sacramento personal injury attorney.

Common Accident Cases Involving Children

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Children can be injured in car accidents just like adults. It is important to have your child checked by a doctor as soon as possible after a car accident. Closed head injuries are common in car accidents and very difficult to diagnose because there may be no outward trauma to the head. Regardless of the severity of the car accident, always seek medical attention for yourself and your child to protect your child’s health and your right to receive compensation from the other driver.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

Children do not use as much caution when riding their bicycles and crossing the road as adults do in the same situation. One of the best ways to prevent bicycle and pedestrian accidents is to set a good example and to teach your child about bicycle and pedestrian safety.  A good source for information that parents can use is Safe Kids.

Pool Accidents

Pool accidents involving children can have devastating consequences. Property owners, both public and private, must take steps to prevent children from entering the pool, even if a child is trespassing. Also, pool owners must take steps to prevent water-transmitted diseases and other injuries. If your child is injured in a pool accident, don’t assume it is your child’s fault. Consult a Sacramento personal injury attorney to determine if your child should be compensated by the pool’s owner for his or her injuries.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Children are very vulnerable for dog bites and animal attacks because they don’t know how to defend themselves and/or they are unable to defend themselves in an attack. Teach your children about animal safety and seek immediate medical attention for any animal bite. A small bite can result in infections, permanent nerve damage, and scarring.  In most cases, the owner of the animal is liable for damages if the animal bites or attacks your child.  Therefore, seek legal counsel from a Sacramento personal injury attorney to discuss your options for legal action.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Children fall — that is just a fact of life. However, sometimes the fall is not just an accident. If a property owner allows an unsafe or hazardous condition to remain on the property, your child may have a legal course of action if he or she falls and is injured. Discuss the accident with an attorney to determine if you have a valid personal injury claim.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
