Playground Injuries

Playgrounds can be a place of fun and excitement for your children. Unfortunately, they can also be a place of injury and harm.

Common Playground Injuries

Playground injuries may come in several forms, ranging from simple scrapes and bruises to much more severe injuries like broken bones. Some of the most common injuries that may be just cause for a personal injury lawsuit are:

• Fractures and broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Concussions
• Dislocated joints

Most injuries result from climbing-centric accidents, such as falling off of the jungle gym or monkey bars. Children should exercise caution when using these common playground structures, but parents should also keep an eye out for their children.

Sometimes, though, accidents are unavoidable. This may occur when equipment is faulty, causing injury to your child even if he or she was being careful. In these cases, whoever is in charge of maintaining the playground may be liable for your child’s injuries. It is important to have a knowledgeable and experienced personal injury lawyer to handle your case, as you may be entitled to financial compensation.
