Child Injuries & Fatalities
Powerful legal representation when profound harm occurs.
When your child is hurt or loses their life due to the negligence of others, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. As parents, the safety and well-being of your children are your top priorities. When that safety is compromised—whether by a car accident, a dangerous product, medical malpractice, or a slip and fall—seeking justice is essential.
At Gunn | Slater, we understand the unique challenges families face in these heartbreaking situations. Our dedicated attorneys are committed to holding responsible parties accountable and ensuring that your child’s future is protected.
Our Commitment to Your Family
Child injuries and fatalities are often preventable. Unfortunately, negligence or reckless behavior can cause significant harm. From serious physical injuries to the devastating loss of a child, we are here to guide you through every step of the legal process. We work tirelessly to secure fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other damages related to the incident.
Types of Child Injury Cases We Handle
At Gunn | Slater, we have extensive experience handling a wide range of child injury and fatality cases, including:
Car Accidents: Children are vulnerable passengers in motor vehicle accidents, often suffering severe injuries in crashes. Whether your child was in a car, bus, or pedestrian accident, we’ll help hold the responsible party accountable.
Bicycle & Pedestrian Injuries: Pedestrian accidents and bicycle crashes are among the leading causes of injury and death for children. If your child has been struck while walking or cycling, we are here to fight for their rights.
Medical Malpractice: Medical errors, including misdiagnosis, birth injuries, or improper treatment, can have long-lasting consequences for your child’s health. We’ll work with medical experts to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
Product Liability: If a defective product caused harm to your child—whether a toy, cribs, or other children’s items—we’ll fight to ensure the manufacturer is held responsible.
School & Playground Injuries: Accidents on school grounds, daycare centers, or playgrounds can cause serious injuries. Our team investigates these incidents to determine whether negligence played a role.
Premises Liability: Injuries occurring on someone else’s property—such as in a store, amusement park, or at a friend’s house—are common among children. If unsafe conditions led to your child’s injury, we’ll seek justice.
Drowning and Pool Accidents: Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children under five. If negligence or lack of supervision contributed to a drowning accident, we’ll fight for justice on your behalf.
