Charleston Lawyers: Children's Injuries
Children are the most vulnerable members of our society. We all share responsibility for keeping them safe — that includes product manufacturers, health care providers, schools, day care facilities, teachers, church leaders and parents.
When a child is injured, the attorneys of Freeman & Chiartas can help. We represent families whose children's injuries include:
- Motor vehicle injuries to children — Auto accidents are a leading cause of death and disability for children. We represent victims of all types of vehicle accidents, including those involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and ATVs.
- Defective toys and children's products — Was your child injured by a toy with lead paint or small, easy-to-choke-on parts? Did a defective crib, car seat or playpen hurt your baby? Please contact us to discuss your legal rights.
- Dog bites/animal attacks — An estimated 4.7 million Americans suffer dog bite injuries each year — a majority of them are children.
- School, sports, playground injuries — A day at school or an outing to a park or playground can turn tragic when negligence is involved. We can help you recover financially.
- Medical mistakes/birth injuries — When doctors make mistakes, their patients pay the price — sometimes with their lives. When medical professionals cause injuries to children, we hold them responsible for their actions.
- Child abuse — When a child suffers physical, emotional or sexual abuse, the consequences can be devastating. We pursue justice in the form of financial compensation for abused children and their families.
- Negligent supervision injuries — We trust day care providers, teachers, coaches and others to protect our children. When they fail to do so, children can be seriously hurt.
- Poisoning injuries — We represent clients whose children suffered from lead poisoning and environmental toxins, as well as children who ingested cleaning products, chemicals or medicines.
If your child has been seriously harmed due to the negligence of another, please contact our Charleston law office today to discuss your legal options. The initial consultation is free of charge.
