Can I make a claim if my child is injured on a playground?
Playgrounds are exciting places for children to be outdoors and active, but if the playground is not safe, it can also be fertile ground for injuries to our children. Every year, hundreds of thousands of kids end up in emergency rooms because of playground injuries ranging from minor bumps and bruises to broken bones and serious head trauma. The most common cause of playground injuries is either improper supervision or poorly designed or maintained equipment and surfaces, and it often requires an expert to evaluate the codes and regulations that govern playgrounds. It's important to get an experienced lawyer on board early to evaluate the potential theories of liability and to protect you and your family.
