Accidents Involving Children

Massachusetts Child Accident, Injury Lawyer

Childhood is an accident waiting to happen. Because children do not have the judgment to protect themselves, it is up to the adults in children's lives to keep them safe from harm. When they fail to do so, the consequences can be deadly:

The daycare provider turns her back. A child wanders into the street and is hit by a car.

On a field trip, a teacher leaves a child behind. He is abducted and assaulted.

An unfenced swimming pool proves an irresistible temptation for a young child, who falls in and drowns.

At the Law Offices of Michael M. Kaplan, our legal team has won substantial verdicts and settlements in child injury and accident claims of all types, including those involving:

• Inadequate supervision—Did your child become injured because of the negligence of a teacher, daycare provider, camp counselor, babysitter, or church leader?
• Attractive nuisance—Was your child drawn to a swimming pool, a power tool, or a dangerous piece of equipment on someone else's property?
• Dangerous and defective products—From dangerous playground equipment and toys to defective car seats and cribs, products of all kinds can cause accidents and injuries to children.
• Dog bites—Children are the primary victims of animal attacks.
• Toxic substances—Has your child suffered lead poisoning from lead-containing paint, toys, or jewelry?

If your child has been injured because someone else was negligent, our attorney can help you pursue financial compensation for the full extent of the damages, including medical bills, pain and suffering, property damage, and more.
