You Protect Your Child. We'll Protect Your
Child's Injury Rights.
Ohio Child Injury Lawyer - Cleveland Attorney For Injured Children –
Call The Right Attorney - Cleveland, Ohio
As parents, we love our children more than life
itself. We do everything in our control to nurture and protect our
children. But, sometimes that is not enough. When our children are
victimized by the negligent or intentional conduct of others, our
hearts sink and our stomachs churn. After our children are injured,
parents have a responsibility to pursue those that caused the harm
to our children. In order to protect your child’s legal rights, you
must first call the right attorney that has the necessary experience
dealing with child injury lawsuits.
The best child injury lawyers know that claims on behalf
of children can arise from a variety of different circumstances, including
the following:
-
Negligence:
In Ohio, special laws have been
developed for accidents involving children. These laws apply to the ways
in which children are compensated, as well as determining liability.
Children are not held to the same standard of negligence as adults
because Ohio law recognizes that children do not make the same
well-formed judgments as adults do. Whenever a child is seriously
injured you should immediately call the right child injury attorney as
soon as possible – especially before you speak to an insurance adjuster.

Automobile And School
Bus Accidents: According to the
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every year in the
United States, automobile accidents cause the deaths of more than 1,400
children ages 14 years and younger and injuries to more than 200,000 of
children the same age. Broken down, that is an average of 556 injuries
of children and four children killed in traffic accidents each day.
Some of these accidents occur when our children are not with us. There
are 585,000 school buses transporting children in the United States,
logging millions of miles each day. The latest data on school bus
accidents contained in a November 2006 study by researchers at Columbus
(Ohio) Children’s Hospital Center for Injury Research and Policy, showed
that school bus-related accidents send 17,000 children riders to
emergency rooms each year. While students riding in buses during crashes
suffered many of the injuries, many of the injuries occurred when
children were boarding or leaving school buses. Indeed, out of the
average 20 children fatalities occurring each year, only 25 percent of
the fatal injuries are suffered by students riding buses, while 75
percent of the children are struck while outside a school bus. Since
1995, more than 170 school age pedestrians have died in school
transportation related crashes – 70 percent caused by school buses or
vehicles functioning as school buses and 30 percent by other
automobiles. Sadly, near half – 49 percent – of all children killed in
school transportation accidents were between the age of fice and seven.
If a child is struck in the street, important legal factors will include
the proximity of a school or playground nearby, the type of
neighborhood, and the speed and activity of the driver. In addition, it
may be possible for your child injury lawyer to show that the child was
not properly supervised or that adequate crossing assistance was not
provided.
When a child is involved in an automobile accident it is critical to
immediately preserve evidence and identify witnesses. The best way to
protect your child’s rights is to call the right attorney for injuries
to children. Call The Spitz Law Firm.

Abuse And Maltreatment:
The Department of Health and Human Services and the Center For
Disease Control reports that 906,000 children in the United States were
confirmed by child protective service agencies as being maltreated
during 2002. This includes 172,140 children that were physically abused
and more than 90,000 that were sexually abused. Tragically, over 1,500
children were confirmed to have died as a result of such maltreatment.
But this data is generally considered underestimated. Other experts in
the field of child abuse have estimated that somewhere between 100,000
and 200,000 children are molested in the United States every year.
Child abuse inflicts a terrible toll on victims and on their families.
According to Brown & Finkelhor (1986), the long-term effects of abuse
include fear, anxiety, depression, hostility, inappropriate sexual
behavior later in life, poor self-esteem, tendency toward substance
abuse, and difficulty with close relationships.
At The Spitz Law Firm, we will do everything your child injury attorney
can to hold perpetrators of child abuse accountable to the fullest
extent of the law, while at the same time protecting the child victims
from the potential harshness of our legal system. Where appropriate,
your child injury lawyer will also pursue the employers of the
perpetrators and/or any applicable insurance coverage.

Brain Injuries:
While brain injuries to adults are tragic, when a child suffers
a significant brain injury, the consequences to the child and family are
magnified many times over. In some areas, special schooling is available
to assist the child develop some rudimentary skills, but many children
with significant brain injuries never will be able to take care of
themselves or live alone. When a child completes school, parents are
often left to make arrangements for around the clock care. Both the
emotional and financial consequences become oppressive.
According to the Center for Disease Control, every year in the United
States, traumatic brain injury to children up to 14 years old results in
2,685 deaths, 37,000 hospitalizations, and 435,000 emergency room visits
annually. If your child is one of these victims, call the right child
brain injury attorney now.
