Legal Help for Families After a Child Is Injured
Personal Injury
Compassionate Legal Support When a Child Is Hurt
Injuries to children are among the most heartbreaking and legally complex personal injury cases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 3 million children under the age of 5 require medical attention for injuries each year—roughly 12 out of every 100 children in this age group. Many of these incidents are preventable and often result from the negligence or recklessness of others.
Children naturally engage in riskier activities—like jumping on trampolines, exploring playgrounds, or using toys and bikes—often without the judgment or physical control adults have. Unfortunately, child injuries can also arise from the actions of dangerous drivers, careless daycare workers, defective product manufacturers, negligent medical professionals, or unsafe premises like pools and amusement parks.
At Clause Law Group, we help families in Florida and Pennsylvania navigate the legal aftermath of serious child injuries. Our goal is to secure the compensation your family needs to heal and move forward—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Common Causes of Child Injuries
Parents and guardians do everything possible to protect their children, but many injuries occur in places where others are responsible for safety. Some of the most common causes of child injuries include:
- Car accidents
- Car seat or booster seat injuries
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- School bus collisions
- Daycare negligence
- Swimming pool accidents
- Playground injuries
- Unsafe public or private property
- Burns from fireworks or chemicals
- Defective children’s products (e.g., toys, cribs, strollers)
- Slips, trips, and falls
Whether your child was hurt in a car crash, bit by an unrestrained dog, or injured due to negligent supervision, our team can help you hold the responsible party accountable.
What If the Injury Happened on Public Property?
If your child was injured at a public park, school, or playground, special rules apply. You may need to file a claim against the local government entity that owns or operates the facility. These cases have stricter notice deadlines and procedural requirements, so time is of the essence.
Our attorneys are experienced in handling claims involving government liability and can help ensure your case is filed properly and on time.
Can a Guardian File the Claim?
Yes. In most cases, a parent or legal guardian brings the claim on behalf of an injured minor. Personal injury claims involving children follow slightly different timelines. In general, the statute of limitations for personal injury is:
- Four years from the date of injury for general personal injury claims
- Extended time for minors—until four years after the child’s 18th birthday
Still, early action is critical. Evidence can disappear, memories fade, and legal protections can be lost if you wait too long.
