Child Injury

Georgia Child Injury Lawyers

A tragic child injury or death is always devastating for the family and the community. When a child is injured or dies because of someone else's carelessness, the loss is even more profound. The lawyers of Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP, in Atlanta and Savannah understand that no amount of money can compensate for a child's serious injury or death. Legal action against the negligent individual or company can, however, provide parents with a sense of closure and may prevent future child injuries and deaths.

We are proficient in handling litigation involving child injuries. Past verdicts and settlements won by our firm's lawyers include many on behalf of families whose children suffered wrongful death or catastrophic injury because of the negligence of another.

All potential clients throughout Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, or Florida are eligible for a free initial consultation with one of the partner attorneys of Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP. If the firm can take your case; all work will be done on a contingency basis, meaning that the firm will not charge any attorneys fees until you receive a settlements or verdict

Child injuries are common in the following circumstances:

Dangerous products: When designing or manufacturing a product, companies have a responsibility to consider possible dangers that the products might pose to children. If they fail to do so, they are liable for the injuries and deaths caused by their defective products. We represent clients in product liability lawsuits related to a number products which can be dangerous to children, including: defective seat belts, air bags, auto defects, bicycle defects, toys and other products containing lead paint, dangerous drugs, toys, four wheelers or all terrain vehicles (ATVs), defective guns, escalator injuries, flammable fabrics, and defective medical devices. A unique danger faced by children is infant car seat injuries. All too often, car seats are badly manufactured or designed, and only contribute to the child injuries they are made to prevent.

Auto Accidents: As with other passengers, children are endangered in all kinds of motor vehicle accidents including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, school bus accidents, passenger van accidents, and accidents on public transportation.

Daycare abuse: When day care centers leave a child behind, fail to attend to a child's basic needs, or commit other types of negligence, they should be held accountable. We represent children who have been physically abused or beaten, sexually abused, or carelessly injured in daycare or a child care setting.

Parents can take many measures to decrease the risk of child injury. The lawyers of Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP, are currently producing informational pamphlets detailing steps that parents can take to keep their children safer.
