Ball Pit Injury Attorney

As your child races to enter a ball pit, you are focused on their smile and level of excitement. However, after hearing them scream in pain, you immediately switch into protective parent mode and need to know what has hurt your child. In many cases, there is something in the pit that was dropped by another child or possibly placed there but is not meant to be in this safe play space. Other times, the hazard can be another child landing on your child, stepping on them, or fighting over a space in the ball pit. Finally, it is not uncommon for a child to get a hand, arm, foot, or head stuck in a hole in the netting surrounding the ball pit. In these instances, it is not hard to imagine your child’s panic and the harm they could sustain, which includes:

• Lacerations or puncture injuries
• Compression or crushing damage
• Back, neck, or spinal cord damage
• Fractured or broken bones
• Compound fractures
• Dislocated joints
• Harm to the eyes, ears, mouth, or nose, as well as damage to the delicate facial skin
• Soft tissue injuries and the destruction of nerve tissue
• Damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Head injuries that could include a concussion, skull fracture, brain bleed, or other traumatic brain injuries

When you visit an indoor gym or playground for children, there are long disclaimer waivers you must sign to allow your child to play in the space. However, those waivers do not absolve the facility of a certain level of care and safety precautions in the space. They must always provide a basic level of care that includes cleaning the play areas, removing the balls in the pit for cleaning and inspection of the space, and taking the basic precautions to ensure the safety of all children in the play area. If they fail to provide this basic level of care and a child suffers a ball pit injury, the parents could have grounds for a lawsuit against the owner of the facility.

In cases involving personal injuries, the court awarded compensation based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim, or in this case, the victim’s parents, due to the injury incident. You will work with your ball pit injury attorney at DTLA Law Group to compile all of the allowable expenses you face because of your child’s ball pit injuries. These items will be combined to determine the compensation amount likely to be awarded by the court. Items most often used in this process include but are not always limited to:

• The cost of all legal services related to preparing, filing, and litigating the ball pit injury lawsuit
• The cost of all current and future medical care related to treating the injuries suffered in the ball pit incident
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the ball pit injury incident

In cases involving an adult injury victim, they are also permitted to seek compensation for their lost wages if the harm they suffered prevented them from working at their regular job until they were healed and allowed to return to the duties of their job. In the case of a minor being the injury victim, the parents can seek compensation for their lost income if they missed work to provide care for their hurt child and other related costs, as will be explained to you in greater detail by your DTLA Law Group ball pit injury attorney.

When a person suffers injuries in a ball pit, they could have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. In most cases, when the person is an adult, the Statute of Limitations for the case, or the time provided to the victim to file their lawsuit, is two years from the date of the injury incident. However, when the victim is a minor child, that time limit differs. In these cases, there is a tolling of the statute. What that means is that the Statute of Limitations is paused until the child reaches the age of majority at 18. Once the child becomes an adult, they have two years to file the personal injury lawsuit if they choose, and a case was not already litigated regarding the matter when they were minors. This added time provides the parents of the child time to determine if the hard suffered by the child will have a life-long impact on them and their ability to live what might be called a normal life or if they will require long-term care or medical treatment as a result of the injuries. Please contact DTLA Law Group today to discuss the possibility of a lawsuit now or in the future as a result of negligence that caused your child to suffer ball pit injuries.
