Long Island School and Playground Injury Lawyer

Was your child injured at school or on a playground?

When our children are at school or on the playground, we don't expect that they will suffer a serious injury.  These cases occur due to a variety of circumstances, but often result in very severe injuries and damages to the innocent victim.  Any injury case that takes place at school or on a playground requires skilled legal representation from a Long Island personal injury attorney to address the claim for compensation.  Many of these cases take place in public schools, and the claim filed can be complex, due to the type of insurer that protects liability in the public school system.  These large insurers can take action to attempt to reduce claim amounts and create difficulty for the family who has a valid injury case.  Our legal team at 02law is prepared to evaluate the situation and advise you how to proceed in seeking compensation in such cases.

Public Playground Accidents

Children are active and full of adventure.  They may take risks when playing, but this does not excuse the operator of the playground from liability if there was a hazardous situation that could lead to injury or death.  As each case must be thoroughly evaluated to determine the best course of action, in many cases a claim or lawsuit can be filed against the operator of the playground or the school in which the injury accident took place.  The degree of injury has much to do with the outcome of the suit, and the legal team at the firm will evaluate the situation and ensure that all types of damages suffered by the injured child and their families are fully addressed in a comprehensive claim.  We provide strong legal support for injured victims throughout the communities of Long Island, Nassau, Suffolk and Queens.

It is not advised that you discuss the injury case with an insurance adjuster without first retaining legal representation; such companies have been known to take statements and interviews and use them to reduce claim amounts.  This practice can cause a lower settlement and when injuries are involved, the medical care and treatment as well as rehabilitation is an urgent and vital matter.
