Question: Compensation for child's injuries from a toy

Asked in Miami, FL | November 22, 2024

My child was injured by a toy. The toy was hard plastic and broke apart, and a sharp piece caused a gash on my child's hand, requiring a few stitches. Can I file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of my child or is there insurance? I still have the toy pieces, but I am unsure how to proceed.

Yes, you may be able pursue a personal injury claim on behalf of your child for injuries caused by a defective toy. If the toy was defectively designed, manufactured, or lacked proper safety warnings, you can hold the manufacturer or seller accountable. Retaining the broken toy and its original packaging is crucial for evidence. Defective product cases often require detailed investigations and expert analysis, but they can provide necessary compensation for your child's injuries and prevent future harm to others. Retaining an experienced product liability attorney will help ensure your case is handled appropriately.
