Types of Playground Accidents
Children can be injured on playgrounds in many ways. Was your child injured due to:
- Defective playground equipment or lack of maintenance?
- Lack of supervision?
- A too-high student-to-teacher ratio?
Playground injuries can happen because of these or many other reasons. For many parents, it can be difficult to tell a childhood accident from a preventable accident caused by negligence. Our law firm can investigate an accident and determine whether you have a claim for financial damages. We have more than 30 years of experience and have handled many personal injury cases, but we understand that each case is different — including your child’s accident.
An ‘Attractive Nuisance’ Equals a Hazard for Your Children
Often, parents of children injured on playgrounds are reluctant to pursue a lawsuit because they think that the incident was just an accident. Many people are surprised to learn that some injuries to children are, in fact, both preventable and actionable under attractive nuisance laws.
The attractive nuisance doctrine holds that if property owners have reason to expect that children will be on their property, they are responsible for keeping those children safe from harm. An attractive nuisance can be something that would tempt children to enter someone’s property, such as playground equipment.
If your child was injured on a playground, do not assume your case is not actionable. Cases can involve anything ranging from falls and crushing to burns from overheated ground mats.
