Child Injury due to Falls

Children can be curious and adventurous, and it is our job as adults to safeguard their world and keep them from getting hurt.  Small children can fall easily when they are new to walking, and unable to judge dangerous areas around them.  Each year, more than 2.3 million children are injured due to fall-related injuries across the country.  Falls are the leading cause of unintentional injury for all children ages 14 years and under.  Additionally, more children between the ages 1 and 4 years die from unintentional injuries than from all childhood diseases combined. An overwhelming majority of these fatalities occur in the home.   Windows and playground equipment are major risk factors for toddlers and older children.  For example, window falls account for 12 childhood deaths and 4,000 injuries for children under 10 years old annually.  Additionally, children living in apartment buildings have the highest number of window fall incidents.  Such falls, can cause serious injury or even death.  If your child is injured or has tragically died due to a fall due to the negligence of another, the responsible party may be liable for your child's pain and suffering.   For instance, you may hold the manufacturer of the window and the apartment owner liable for such a tragedy.
