Serious injuries deserve experienced attorneys

No matter how much a parent or guardian monitors a child’s play and only provides them with products to play with that are supposed to be safe for a child to use, many families in Maryland and the surrounding states are looking for a good toy injury law firm Maryland parents and guardians can rely on.

There are few things more difficult for parents and guardians, than when their child gets injured. When a child dies, many families never really recover from this tragedy. When a child’s injury or death could have been prevented had it not been for one or more person’s negligence, the feelings of anger, guilt, frustration, and sadness can be positively overwhelming.

Personal Injury Claims

Page Contents show

Personal injury claims typically stem from when an innocent person is injured because of someone else’s negligence (or malice or reckless behavior). Negligence is a term that is used to describe the failure of someone to use reasonable care. When a person or party fails to use reasonable care, and their failure to do this results in an innocent person being injured or dying, the injured victim and/or their family may be entitled to compensation.

Personal Injury Claims and Children

While the information in this article is intended as a general overview for parents and families of children who were injured by using a dangerous toy, it is not legal advice in any way. To learn more about the specifics of personal injury claims and children, a good place to start is with a reputable toy injury law firm Maryland families recommend.

Just like adults, children have legal rights. While personal injury claims for minor children and adults are similar, a distinguishing factor between them is that an adult personal injury claim may hold the adult partially responsible for their injury whereas this would not typically be done for a child. In a personal injury claim for an adult, both the at-fault individual or party whose negligence caused the victim’s injury AND the victim’s own negligence may be considered to be responsible for the victim’s injury. If the injured victim failed to act in a way that a reasonable adult would be expected to act in a similar situation, the victim would be found to be partially at fault for contributory negligence.

Children on the other hand are not typically assigned contributory negligence because a child is not usually expected to act in the same way a reasonable adult would act. This is because a child’s cognizance is still developing. A child’s age, physical and mental development, maturity and experience is not that of an adult’s and they are thus not responsible for behaving the way a reasonable adult would be expected to behave.

Who is to Blame for a Faulty or Malfunctioning Toy?

When a child is injured by using a defective or malfunctioning toy, one or more of the parties responsible for making the product available to consumers may be liable for the child’s injury. These liable parties may include but are not limited to:

Designers
Engineers
Manufacturers
Distributors
Sellers

When someone is injured because of somebody else’s negligence, he or she may be entitled to compensation. This is no different for a child except that when a minor receives monetary compensation for an injury, it is typically given to the family or put in a trust, and the money is meant to only be used for the child’s care and well-being.

If you are in the awful situation of seeing your innocent child suffering because of injuries that are the result of someone else’s negligence, it may be in your best interest to discuss your child’s rights with a lawyer who is licensed to practice in the state that your child was injured in.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Skibicki handled my uninsured motorist claim exceptionally well. She understood the importance of balancing justice and compensation from those involved in the dispute. She fought for a fair settlement and genuinely listened to my concerns and complaints about the process, showing empathy throughout.

She thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of pursuing further litigation if I was not satisfied with the offer, and she gave me ample time to make a decision that felt right for my situation. I never felt pressured to accept an offer that didn’t meet my needs. If I need legal assistance again, I would choose Cohen and Cohen and specifically request Ms. Skibicki as my attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I retained Cohen & Cohen after I was struck by a car and fractured my spine. Adam was kind, knowledgeable and truly an advocate throughout the entire settlement process. He was incredibly responsive to my calls, emails and texts, and always took the time to explain how parts of the admittedly complex process worked with insurance, etc. Adam was able to secure a settlement of the offender's maximum policy limit, and the process was completed within a year. 10/10 recommend!
