Children Hurt at Unsafe Playgrounds

Kids at play on the community playground should be a happy time for children and parents alike. Tragically, in the U.S., emergency rooms treat nearly 200,000 children each year for playground equipment-related injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The majority of these occur on public playgrounds. Injuries may include cuts, burns, bruises, broken bones, even strangulation.

 

Manufacturers of playground equipment, businesses that provide playground areas, (including day care centers and fast food restaurants), and even homeowners are responsible for providing proper maintenance of their equipment and grounds. If your child has been injured due to unsafe or improperly maintained playground equipment, you may be entitled to compensation for care and treatment of his/her injuries. Please give us a call so we may assess your case.
