Crib defects can be a serious and life threatening issue leading to catastrophic child injuries. Often times we entrust these products to safely protect our children. When such products fail to meet certain criteria then manufacturers, distributors, retailers and day care facilities can be liable. If your child was injured from the use of a crib, you may be entitled to damages for your injuries.
Day care centers who take responsibility for the safety and care of your child can be liable when they fail to act appropriately. When your child is injured at such facilities it is important to obtain a full incident report to better understand what happened and determine who is at fault. Day care facilities who provide cribs for infants must meet certain requirements. They are required to meet certain height requirements to avoid injury; the cribs cannot limit staffs ability to observe and monitor the infant and cannot prevent the infant from standing upright. Additionally, there are a number of other requirements with regards to the mattress requirements. If your child has been injured at a day care facility you may be entitled to compensation for your loss. Liability can also be extended if the facility fails to properly arrange or organize the facility.
Child day care centers can be liable when they use defective cribs on the premises. Defective cribs can include full-size or non-full size cribs which cause injury as a result of some type of design or inadequate label defect. Often times such facilities remanufacture retrofit or modify these cribs. When this occurs they are essentially altering the safety mechanisms and engineering of the cribs. A crib can be considered unsafe or defective when they fail to perform in accordance with their intended purpose. This can include any of the following:
In such cases it is important to preserve any photos you have of the crib in order to have it viewed by an expert.
Common Injuries resulting from defective Cribs and Playpens Injuries can range from serious to minor depending on the type of harm and the degree of negligence. Injuries include:
While this is not a complete list, it does outline some of the more serious types of injuries. If you have been injured treatment for a child can be serious. Treatment for both present and future harm can be expensive and considered in any settlement.
Recovery can include what is known as a possible parental claim and a claim for the infants or child’s damages. Generally a parental claim for loss of services and harm they suffered has a one year statute of limitations. However, the child’s claim is tolled until the child reaches the age of majority, which in most jurisdictions can be 18 years of age. It is important to seek legal advice with regards to your claim to better understand whether a cause of action exists. Often times many clients fail to seek legal assistance until the statutory period has expired or the access to necessary evidence has been disposed. Our office offers a free consultation with regards to your case and can assist you in every step of the way.
