What Are The Most Common Causes of Injuries in Children?

Children are vulnerable to suffering serious injuries in many types of accidents. Below are some of the most common types of child injury cases we handle.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

More than 156,000 kids were injured in car accidents in the United States in 2022. An average of 3 children were killed, and an estimated 429 children were injured every day in traffic crashes. Of the 7,522 pedestrian traffic fatalities, 188 of them were children.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries for children. Falls often happen at schools, playgrounds, parking lots, and at home. Like seniors, children are at an increased risk of serious injury in a fall.

Dog Bites

More than 2 million children suffer dog bite injuries every year in America. Kids are more likely to be bitten by a dog and more likely to suffer severe injury. Most dog bites involve a neighbor’s dog or the child’s family pet, not a stray, with attacks peaking in the summer in Texas. Kids between five and nine years old are at the greatest risk of suffering a serious dog bite injury.

Swimming Pool Accidents

There are an average of 945 child drownings in the United States every year. In Texas, drownings and near-drownings usually happen in a child’s backyard pool. They can also happen in apartment complex pools, lakes, and public pools. These life-threatening injuries may result from inadequate fencing or a lack of lifeguards and supervision.

Sports Accidents

Sports cause about one-third of child injuries and one-fifth of serious head injuries. Injuries like sprains, strains, broken bones, torn ligaments, and overuse injuries are most common. Competitive team sports and contact sports are most likely to result in injury.

Defective Products

Every year, more than 12 million people are treated in emergency rooms for injuries caused by consumer products. Most of these injuries involve misuse or accidents, such as touching a hot stove. Some injuries are caused by defective products that are unsafe to use even as intended.

Children may be hurt by dangerous products with hazards that may cause lacerations, suffocation, choking, or burns.

We Fight For Maximum Compensation for All Types of Injuries in Children

At Bush Personal Injury and Car Accident Lawyers LLC, we fight for children who have suffered serious and even catastrophic injuries such as:

• Fractures
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Burns
• Lacerations and other soft tissue injuries
• Internal injuries
• Emotional and mental trauma, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

We are committed to pursuing maximum compensation to address your child’s immediate and long-term needs.

What Damages Can I Recover for My Child’s Injuries in Dallas, Texas?

In Texas, compensation for a child's injury may include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover financial losses, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and future care needs. Non-economic damages address intangible, personal losses like pain and suffering, emotional and mental anguish, and reduced quality of life.

Settlement proceeds are generally not released to the child or parents initially.

Common options include:

• An investment account like a college savings plan
• A safeguard account which is released to the child when they turn 18
• A structured annuity account managed by the court, which releases funds on a schedule to the child once they are an adult

Our team at Bush Personal Injury and Car Accident Lawyers LLC works diligently to ensure all aspects of your child's injury are considered. Our goal is to recover fair compensation that reflects the true impact of your child’s injury, including how it will impact their future.
