4. Common Causes of Child Injuries

Other common causes of injuries include, but are not limited to:

5. Most Common Places for Child Injuries

It is not at all unreasonable to expect a certain standard of safety when we visit new places and locations. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. When property owners fail to maintain a safe environment, accidents can happen and they can be held directly liable for any associated injuries your child endures.

The most common places children become injured can include, but are not limited to:

The list goes on and on. However, if your child has become injured in a public place, you should immediately seek medical treatment to avoid any potential life-threatening injuries. Especially if they are non-verbal and cannot adequately express what hurts.

6. Who is At Fault in a Child Injury Claim?

Personal injury claims are based on the rule of negligence. In other words, if you wish to recover compensation, you must prove that a person or entity failed to exercise reasonable care which directly resulted in an injury. That said, let’s take a look at a few areas of premises liability law that could demonstrate direct negligence for a child injury.

Attractive Nuisance Doctrine

Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe property for its guests. To maintain this safe standard, property owners must fix any and all known hazards, stay up-to-date on inspections to locate dangerous conditions, mark any known hazards and ensure all guests are aware of any hazard that is not fixed immediately.

For example, if a monkey-bar is broken at a park and the attraction remains open to children, they owner of the park or playground would be directly liable for any injuries sustained as a result of the defective attraction.

Defective Product / Product Liability

If your child has become hurt due to a defective toy, piece of equipment, or defective vehicle, the manufacturer of whatever caused the injury could be held liable for any resulting damages. It is important to preserve any evidence you can in a defective product claim — do not attempt to fix it. Place it in a safe spot — away from children — until you are able to hire a law firm who can take it off of your hands. Failure to do so can jeopardize your ability to recover financially.

Negligent Security

This is a big issue here in Vegas. Any property owner who has been made aware of repeat crime, or the potential of crime on their premises is required to employ security officers at all times during operational business hours. When children are involved, a security officer should be required.

Additional security measures include, but are not limited to: video surveillance, ensuring doors and gates are locked, installing metal detectors or having security use a wand-detector on all new guests and if a school, ensuring all teachers are properly trained on how to respond to an emergency situation.

Taking these important steps to ensure a safe premises ensures our children are safe from any dangerous hazard at all times.

7. How Much Can I Get for a Child Injury Case in Las Vegas, Nevada?

There are a variety of factors that go into calculating the value of a personal injury claim in Nevada. Once hired, our lawyers will request various pieces of documentation and information in an attempt to understand the seriousness of your injury claim.

Some of the most common pieces of information we will request includes:

  • Police report of the accident
  • Any video or photo evidence you may have
  • Any insurance information or drivers licenses from the negligent driver
  • Your insurance information
  • Medical records outlining your child’s injuries
  • Medical bills
  • Any lost wages
  • Property repair bills

Although more severe injuries typically result in a higher settlement amount, this is not always the case. This is because pain and damages are partially subjective.

Following your accident, the insurance company will likely attempt to devalue the full value of your child’s claim. Do not let them get away with this. Instead, you should speak with a lawyer to discover which steps you should take to preserve your kid’s rights.

You can contact Brian Boyer Injury Lawyer for a complimentary consultation or to obtain information on what your claim may be worth.

8. Recoverable Damages for a Child Injury Claim

By filing a personal injury claim in Nevada, you can expect to recover damages directly caused by your accident injury. Under State Law, you can recover under two classes of damages. Economic and non-economic.

In some cases, you may also be eligible to recover punitive damages; however, this is a special class of damages that is paid out by the Defendant personally, not the insurance company. You can typically recover punitive damages on gross negligence claims, like if your child was injured by a drunk or intentionally reckless driver.

Common areas where you can recover financially include, but are not limited to:

  • Medical bills (future and present)
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capability
  • Physical therapy
  • Long-term rehabilitative treatment
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disfiguration or scarring
  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • Depression
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of quality of life

9. Nevada Statute of Limitations for Child Injuries

In the State of Nevada, there is a statute of limitations rule which requires a person to file a lawsuit in a specified timeframe if they wish to pursue financial compensation. In most cases, the statute ranges from 1-2 years depending on the type of injury. However, the statute may be preserved for minor-involved cases.

For more information regarding the statute of limitations for your child’s injury, please contact an experienced Nevada attorney.
