Accident Attorneys - Playground Accidents
in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Nassau County, and Suffolk County
The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that an estimated 200,000 children are admitted to emergency rooms each year after a playground accident. As parents and caregivers, we assume that playgrounds and parks will remain safe and adequately maintained. But the reality is that hundreds of playgrounds across the state carry countless potential hazards including outdated equipment, unsafe flooring or concrete, and lack of proper signage or warnings. And even with the safest equipment and state-of-the-art construction, climbing to dangerous heights, roughhousing and hanging present constant dangers. Parental supervision is the best defense to playground accidents, but when a structure is unsafe of poorly maintained, negligence can be pinpointed. Children can sustain minor injuries from broken bones and fractures to severe and debilitating neck, head and spinal injuries. Whether the injury occurred on public playground equipment or a private home setting, your family may be entitled to compensation if negligence was a contributing factor.
If your child has suffered severe or fatal injuries while using playground equipment, find out your legal rights. The accident attorneys at Silberstein, Awad and Miklos will examine and research the circumstances surrounding the accident to find out who's responsible.
