Injuries to Children

Seeing your child in pain is overwhelming and almost unbearable. You would trade places with your child if you could to protect your child from the pain. When your child is injured, your first concern is for your child and your child’s health. However, at some point, most parents begin to investigate how their child was injured.

When the accident was preventable due to negligent acts, parents need to consult with an experienced Sacramento personal injury attorney immediately. An attorney can help protect the rights of the child and the rights of the parents to hold the accountable parties liable for damages.

If your child has been injured, contact the Tiemann Law Firm at (916) 999-9000 for a free case evaluation!

Where Do Children Get Injured?

Children seem to get injured anywhere they go. A child is simply caught up in “life” and rarely thinks about the danger that may wait ahead. It is up to adults to watch out for children at all times.  Some common places where we see children being injured include:

  • School
  • Daycare facilities
  • Playgrounds
  • Playing sports
  • Summer camps
  • Nursery schools
  • School buses
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Riding bicycles
  • As pedestrians
  • Amusement parks

An accident can happen in a mere second. It is the responsibility of the owners and/or adults supervising the children to ensure the premises are safe. Sometimes an accident is completely unavoidable; however, when your child is injured due to a careless, negligent, or reckless act, you and your child may be entitled to receive compensation from the liable party or parties.

Defective Products

Defective products are another common way children are injured. The recall of the self-balancing scooters/hoverboards that were so popular this past holiday season is all over the news. The hoverboards pose the risk of serious injury because they can overheat.  If you have a hoverboard, visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website to find out what you need to do.

Each year thousands of children are injured by household products, baby furniture, car seats, bicycle helmets, flotation devices, trampolines, and toys.

If your child is injured by a defective product, you and your child may be entitled to receive compensation from one or more parties. Responsible parties may include the designer, manufacturer, distributor, and seller. An experienced personal injury attorney can help sort out the facts to identify the responsible party or parties to maximize the compensation your child receives for his or her injuries.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

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.
