CHILD INJURY LAWYERS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS FOR CHILDREN’S INJURIES
Thousands of children are injured and killed every day in the U.S. because of the careless and negligent actions of others.
Whether it’s from a defective car seat, an irresponsible physician who injures a child during birth or a person who molests a child, anyone who hurts a child should be held accountable for their actions. This can be accomplished through a civil action or lawsuit or by the Criminal Justice System, but for the purposes of this section, we are looking at monetary damages and not criminal charges.
If your child has been injured because of someone else’s negligent behavior, a Santa Rosa child injury lawyer will provide you with the representation you will need to receive compensation.
At the Law Offices of Michael A. Fiumara, our lawyers have the experience necessary to help you take legal action against the person or company who is responsible for your child’s injuries.
When a child is injured, not only do they suffer physical injuries that can last a lifetime, but they often are damaged emotionally as well. This was the case in the Priest Abuse case where our law firm was settled a child abuse case against the Church for over $5 million dollars. SEE HERE FOR LINK. Serious accidents and traumatic experiences can leave physical and mental scars that will last a lifetime and no one wants to see this happen to their child.
Our lawyers realize that sometimes accidents happen, but when an accident could have been prevented had a person been more careful, the responsible party deserves to pay for their mistake.

FIGHTING FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE
From booster seats to lead-filled toys and countless other products, there are always new recalls for dangerous or defective products that pose a safety threat to children.
If your child has been injured by slipping out of their defective car seat or by chewing on a toxic toy, you should take immediate action to notify a lawyer and other respective authorities. Taking swift action could be the key difference in protecting the lives of other children and preserving the evidence you need to file a personal injury claim.
As a parent, there are many things that you can do to further ensure the safety of your child in and around the home.
According to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, an average of seven children per day are treated in emergency rooms for injuries due to contact with electrical outlets.
By taking simple measures such as covering the electrical outlets, placing sharp objects out of reach, padding sharp corners and edges, and storing toxic chemicals out of reach, you can help protect the safety and wellbeing of your children.
However when an injury does happen, and it is the result of someone else’s negligence, you can trust our team to work tirelessly on your behalf.
