Child Injury Attorneys in Kalamazoo
When one of your children is injured, you naturally want to fight back against the person or entity that caused the injury. While this may not be your best physical solution, there are some other ways you can fight back. At Keilen Law, PLC, we are your child injury lawyers, working to ensure your child’s injuries do not go unnoticed and do not cause a financial burden on your family.
Common Injuries Among Children
When it comes to personal injury in children versus adults, there are some noticeable differences. For example, there aren’t as many poisoning cases in adults as there are in children and teens. Playground injuries are also much higher in children. Some other common injuries among children include:
- Car Accidents – Children as susceptible to being injured in automobile crashes, especially when they are not properly restrained.
- Dog Bites – Children are curious, they love animals, and they sometimes don’t understand keeping a distance from dogs they don’t know. That’s when dog bites happen.
- Drowning – One in four water-related injuries in children end in death, making drowning the second cause of death and injury in children under 14 years of age.
- Fire – Though a house fire impacts the entire family, more children suffer injury than their adult family members.
- Firework Injuries – Young children who don’t understand the risks of playing with fireworks, as well as carefree teenagers, are often the victims of firework injuries.
