Protecting Children After Injuries
Watching someone you love struggle is one of the hardest things for a person to do. It's even harder when the injured person is your child and someone else is responsible for their suffering. You may be wondering what you can do to hold the liable party responsible.
Joseph Klest, Attorney at Law, represents clients throughout Chicago and Illinois suburbs in personal injury cases involving:
- Bicycle accidents and children: Although motorists should yield to bicyclists, they often fail to notice them. When this happens, the injuries are usually serious or fatal.
- Defective car seats and children: Because many car seats are designed with complex or confusing instructions, numerous children are injured by defective or poorly designed seats.
- Dog bites and children: Because children are less adept at reading the warning signs of a vicious dog, they are often subject to dog bites. Regardless, in most situations, the dog owner is still liable.
- Drug side effects and children: From clinical depression caused by SSRIs to Ambien or Ritalin, the number of drugs with dangerous side effects is on the rise.
- Medical negligence and children: Many children are subject to medical negligence during the first year of their life. Spinal injuries, Erb's Palsy and Cerebral Palsy can result from a rough childbirth.
- Pedestrian accidents and children: Attorney Klest works with parents whose children were injured by a negligent or inattentive driver.
- Premises liability and children: Unsecured machinery, obstacles and potholes all pose serious threats to children.
- Product liability and children: Defective toys are a large cause of injuries to children in Illinois, especially toys with lead paint and poor manufacturing.
- Spinal injuries to children: Spinal injuries are common in children who are involved in car accidents.
- Wrongful death and children: Few things are more painful for a parent than burying a child. Although there is no amount of money that can ease your pain, compensation can alleviate some of the stress you are working through.
If your child was injured because of another person, hold that person accountable. Schedule your free initial consultation by contacting the firm online.
