Brooklyn Injuries to Children Lawyer
Bronx Personal Injury Attorneys Helping You Find Answers When Your Child Is Injured
An injury to a child is extremely upsetting. Parents want answers about the cause of the injury and who is at fault. Sometimes those answers are complicated because a defective product or dangerous toy is at fault. You need a lawyer who can uncover the reason for your child's injury.
As a former mechanical engineer and a U.S. patent attorney, our founder, David DeToffol, understands the technical details behind injuries to children. Please call DeToffol & Associates, in New York City, at 212-962-2220 for a free consultation to discuss your product liability or personal injury case.
Dangerous or Defective Toys
Unfortunately, toys are not always safe for children. Sometimes they are so dangerous that a toy recall is required. Our Brooklyn injuries to children lawyers represent parents and their children who were injured by common dangerous features, such as:
- Removable small parts
- Lead and other toxins
- Excessive noise
Very loud toys can damage a child's ears, which are sensitive and susceptible to noise-induced hearing loss. Small parts create choking hazards. Moving parts can pinch fingers or cause other injuries.
Choking Hazards and Wrongful Death
Children under three years of age are more likely to choke on small objects than older children. In addition to dangerous toys, children can be injured by swallowing small items, such as batteries, magnets and hearing aids. While they may not always choke on these objects, batteries and magnets can do internal damage to the child.
Sadly, many parents may not realize their child is choking until it's too late. We offer compassionate representation in wrongful death cases for parents who lost their child in choking cases.
Around the House
Young children can be injured on many household items, too. Clothing with drawstrings and window-treatment cords are common causes of suffocation. Because children put many objects in their mouths, lead paint poisoning is also possible. Large-screen televisions have been known to tip over onto a child, and appliances without adequate safety guards or power sources could cause injury or electrocution.
Children can get fingers or limbs caught in strollers, cribs and bikes. They may also get hurt on unsafe playground equipment.
Whatever the product, whatever the accident, talk to us about your situation. We will review your case in a free consultation. There is no risk in seeking out our experienced advice regarding product recalls and dangerous household item injuries.
