Common Child Injuries
The Centers for Disease Control reports that every hour, one child dies from an injury, and about one in five of all child deaths is injury related. Every four seconds, a child is treated for an injury in an emergency room somewhere in our nation.
The agency reports that the most common types of child injuries leading to injury or death in the U.S. include:
- Falls
- Car Accidents
- Suffocation
- Drowning
- Poisoning
- Fires
A large percentage of these injuries are preventable. When another party has failed to exercise reasonable care for the safety of your child, and your child suffers an injury or dies as a result, legal action should be taken against that party, whether a school, caregiver, daycare center, or another party.
