Lawyers for Children Injured at School and Play

A day at school, a sporting event or an outing to a park or playground can quickly turn tragic when negligence is involved. At Freeman & Chiartas, our attorneys represent families whose children have been seriously injured because someone else was careless, reckless, inattentive or otherwise negligent.

If your child suffered an injury at a school, a day care, a sporting event, an amusement park, a public park, a swimming pool or a playground, please contact us to discuss your legal options. We represent children who have suffered a serious injury while at school or while engaged in recreational activities.

Are Your Children Safe at School?

All too frequently, children are injured because of lack of appropriate supervision at school. A school injury can be caused by dangerous conditions in the school itself or on the playground or athletic field. With school budgets stretched tight, school districts may cut corners on safety. The safety of our children, however, must always be a top priority.

To learn if we can help you recover money for the damages your child and family have suffered, please contact one of our personal injury attorneys at our office in Charleston today. There is no charge for an initial consultation with one of our experienced attorneys.
