Children can be particularly vulnerable to injuries. Children don’t have the same experience that adults have. Because of that, they don’t always understand the consequences of their actions, and they can’t always protect themselves from danger.
Parents, teachers, and other adult caregivers are responsible for protecting children when they can’t protect themselves. When they’re careless, and a child is hurt because of it, the responsible adults can be held liable for damages.
You may have a valid child injury case if your child was injured because of the careless, reckless, or wrongful acts of a:

Each area of the law has its own nuances. Regardless of the circumstances, our lawyers will work to prove every element of your case.
Children are often injured because of dangerous property conditions. Texas property owners have a legal duty to keep their property reasonably safe for invited guests and visitors.
Business owners in Texas must:
Most property owners don’t owe a duty of care to trespassers. However, under the attractive nuisance doctrine, even private property owners have a duty to protect trespassing children from attractive dangers on the premises. Swimming pools are a typical example of an “attractive nuisance.”
It’s also important to remember that property owners are required to take steps to keep children safe if kids visit the property regularly. For example, schools and daycare centers often must take precautions that bars and restaurants do not.
Schools, daycare centers, and even summer camps are required to provide appropriate supervision. That might mean they’re required to:
If your child’s caretaker failed to monitor them, it’s possible that their employer can also be held liable for damages if your child was injured.
You won’t have to prove negligence if your child was injured because of a defective product. Instead, manufacturers can be held strictly liable for your damages. You may have a valid case if your child was injured because of a defective toy, car seat, sports equipment, or even medications.
The value of any personal injury case will depend on the circumstances of the accident and injury.

Under Texas law, adults have two years from the date of an accident or injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. While you can sue on behalf of your child, your child will have more time to file a lawsuit because they were a minor when the injury occurred.
