Baby Sleepers Lead to Infant Fatalities – Wrongful Death Lawyers
Almost all parents bring baby sleepers or rocking sleepers into their home along with their new babies. These sleepers are an important aid to parents – as they are usually portable and versatile. Unfortunately, many of these baby sleepers have been associated with infant fatalities for many years. Recently, both Fisher-Price and Kid II recalled all their baby sleepers due to the risk of infant fatalities.
Infant deaths related to sleeping environments, including the use of baby sleepers, for example, are prominent – up to 4,000 infants die every year for this reason. Did your baby die while sleeping on a baby sleeper? If your infant child suddenly died after you placed him or her in a baby sleeper, you might have grounds to take action against the company that made the sleepers available for consumers. Depending on the specific details of your claim, you might have the right to file a wrongful death claim.

Baby sleepers have been associated with infant fatalities for many years. Unfortunately, the issue has only been addressed until now – with the recall of multiple brands of baby sleepers. How are these sleepers leading to the death of innocent babies? According to the recalls issued by both Fisher-Price and Kid II, infants have died after rolling onto their stomach (from their back). This causes the infants to suffocate, dying in just a few minutes. As parents, we want to believe that all baby products are safe for our children. We want to be able to set our infants down on their baby sleepers for a nap knowing that they will be safe.Do You Have the Right to Sue?

If your infant died as a direct result of the wrongful or negligent act of a party or entity (such as the companies making hazardous baby sleepers available for purchase), you could sue and receive compensation. What type of compensation could you receive? How much compensation could you receive? They type and amount of compensation available for recovery depends on the specific details of your claim. In general, those who pursue wrongful death claims are eligible to recover compensation for the following:- Medical expenses (before the victim’s death)

Consider the Statute of Limitations
Your infant died due to the hazardous baby sleeper. You have the right to sue and receive compensation. However, are you aware that you could lose the right to sue and receive compensation if you fail to take action within an appropriate length of time? All claims, including wrongful death claims are subject to very strict timelines – called statutes of limitations. The statute of limitations establishes the time that claimants have to pursue their claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, they will unfortunately lose the right to take action. What specific timeline applies to your wrongful death claim? In California, wrongful death clams are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations. In other words, you will have two years to file your claim and begin the legal process. Are there any exceptions to the two-year deadline for wrongful death claims? Some exceptions could apply and pause or extend the time that you have to sue. However, these exceptions are case-specific; therefore, you should seek legal assistance with the experts at Downtown L.A. Law Group as soon as possible.Contact Our Law Firm Today
