"Playground accidents are the leading cause of injury to children in elementary school. Each year, in the United States, approximately 150,000 children ages 5 to 14 go to the emergency room with accidental injuries involving playground equipment... " Editorial Calendar, Safe Kids USA, August 2006.

Are your children safe at school?

Most parents expect that toys or equipment that they purchase for their children's use will be safe. They assume that school districts and manufacturers of playground equipment will take all precautions for the safety of their children. An injured child is a sad reminder that businesses are often more focused on the bottom line than on the safety of their products, and that school districts are often strapped for the cash and personnel that is needed to insure the safety of the children in their care.

An injured child may need extensive resources for life

A playground injury or a defective child-safety harness can leave a child with life-long physical or mental difficulties. Our Texas lawyers have obtained multimillion-dollar settlements for families with injured children. Although money alone will not return children to health, it does provide families with the resources to provide appropriate care for their injured children. It also tells the manufacturers of playground equipment, cribs, and strollers that they cannot avoid the consequences of their negligence and misconduct.
