Are children injured more frequently than adults?
Overall, no, children are not injured more frequently than adults. However, in some categories of personal injury, children do suffer injuries more than adults such as dog bites and bike accidents.
Adults, when they are injured due to the negligent actions of another person, are more likely to pursue a legal claim against the offending party than the family of an injured child may be inclined to. This occurs for several reasons.
First, adults have more resources at their disposal to bring about a case. Secondly, adults are aware of their rights and seek to protect them. And finally, cases involving children tend to be more difficult, and determining who may be at fault can be complex. So, while children do get injured daily, adult legal claims are more commonly seen.
This does not mean, however, that child legal cases are impossible. While more difficult to prove, children are still injured by defective products, medical malpractice, car accidents, on playgrounds, and while under the care of people that you trust, to name a few. When these accidents occur, the results can be devastating and your child deserves to receive compensation for the injuries and damages they suffered, especially when these injuries are life-long and life-altering. An experienced personal injury lawyer can review your child’s case and determine what they may be entitled to.
