Firearms are dangerous and deadly weapons that can cause at best minor injuries or at worst death. Children are especially vulnerable for serious injury or death around guns because they are not aware or are unable to comprehend the danger that firearms pose. Young children may be lured to play with guns because they do not think they will cause actual harm. Therefore, the adults that surround children are responsible for protecting and preventing them from harming themselves with firearms.

Under Florida law, it is a criminal offense for a firearm deal to sell weapons to minors. A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise a plaintiff that this law is intended to protect minors against the risk of shooting themselves or harming someone else. Additionally, a firearm dealer may be held strictly liable for selling a weapon to a minor who then injures a third party or his or herself. For example, if a minor uses false identification to purchase a handgun from a gun dealer, and then uses the gun to commit suicide, the family of the child may have a cause of action against the gun dealer.
