Injuries to Children

A child's injury is one of the most frightening experiences a family can face, and when that injury results from someone else's negligence, it is simply unacceptable. At Sexton & Masri Law Firm, we believe those responsible should be held fully accountable, and we have the experience to make that happen.

How children get hurt

Children face unique risks that adults do not. Their smaller size, developing awareness, and natural curiosity can make them especially vulnerable in situations that might cause little harm to a grown adult. Motor vehicle accidents are among the most serious threats, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also points to falls, being struck by or against an object, animal bites, fires and burns, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents as leading causes of emergency room visits for children.

At Sexton & Masri Law Firm, we handle cases involving car accidents, premises liability including animal bites and slip and fall accidents, burn injuries, medical errors, sexual abuse, and injuries caused by dangerous or defective products.

What families are up against

Children's bodies are still growing, which means an injury that might be straightforward in an adult can have long-lasting or even permanent consequences for a child. Treatment is often more complex, more expensive, and may continue for years or even decades into the future.

Insurance companies know this, and unfortunately, they do not always act in good faith. They may dispute their responsibility, delay the process, or push your family to accept far less than your child's injuries actually warrant. When a child's future health and quality of life are on the line, that is not something you can afford to get wrong.
