Injuries to Children

Injured Child Attorney

We believe it is important that any law firm representing seriously injured children in cases have an experienced, in-house investigator in the office. That is why we have an experienced, in-house investigator on staff and available to investigate all our cases.

Injuries to Children

An injury to an innocent child can be angering to any parent, especially if you know the injury could have been prevented. When your child is seriously injured by a negligent caretaker or homeowner, you may feel frustrated, shocked, and angry that your child was injured because of another’s negligence. If your child was seriously injured, you need an attorney who can aggressively pursue any claims on behalf of your child and your family. At the Williams Law Firm, we are experienced in taking on claims related to accidents and injuries to children.

Our firm assists the parents and guardians of injured children pursue claims against parties responsible for serious injuries and death resulting from negligent care or maintenance.

Children are often victims of serious injuries because of their curiosity or lack of experience. Unlike adults, children lack the ability to discern dangerous situations. If your child was the victim of negligence, do not wait to contact our firm.

At the Williams Law Firm, we can assist you in any of the following common claims related to injured children:

  • Dog bites
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Playground injuries
  • Dangerous toys
  • Child safety harness failure
  • Product liability: safety helmet failures, car seat failures, jogging
  • stroller, bicycle trailer accidents, crib, playpens
  • Premises liability
  • Sports injuries
  • Lead poisoning
  • Brain injuries
  • Catastrophic injuries
  • Wrongful death

Dog bites

Children fall victim to dog bites more often than adults because they are curious about animals and do not know that many dogs are dangerous. If your child was bitten by a dog, our attorneys will pursue the maximum compensation available for scarring, reconstructive surgery, or emotional trauma related to the attack.

Swimming pool accidents

Swimming pool accidents involving children often occur when no one is around because pools can attract children who don’t appreciate what a dangerous place pools can be, especially when no one is looking. Our attorneys are experienced in handling swimming pool accident claims involving drowning, brain damage, and other serious injuries.

Playground injuries

Schools, as well as private caretakers, have a duty to maintain playground equipment to ensure the safety of children. Unfortunately, many children continue to be injured by dangerous equipment or a failure to supervise. If your child was severely injured on a playground, our attorneys can assist you in the investigation of the injury and pursuing compensation from any responsible parties.

    Steve Williams is an excellent mediator. In fact, he is the best I have ever used. Steve understands complex legal issues and how to dissect them in a manner that is effective in persuading both parties of all the benefits of reaching a settlement. Steve works tirelessly in every case he mediates in reaching a settlement. He has had great rapport with all my clients, which enhances greatly the chances of reaching a settlement. I would conclude by stating if you don't have Steve mediating your case then you most likely left money on the table which your client could have benefited from. - Terry M.

    Steve Williams has been a first-rate trial lawyer for many years. In the several cases on which we worked together (always on opposite sides), he was prepared, hardworking, principled, and effective. Now that Steve is working primarily as a mediator, I have been happy to use him twice and certainly will be glad to use him again. Steve connects with all kinds of people, takes a genuine interest in cases and works hard to get matters resolved. Steve also brings to the negotiating table genuine warmth and empathy for each side. That, coupled with his excellent skills as a lawyer, makes him particularly good at getting cases settled. - Dan T.

    Steve Williams represented me exceedingly well in my personal injury claim against a large and distant insurance company . His quick action preserved evidence that was imperative to my claim and otherwise would have been lost or overlooked . His negotiation with the company and its representative was business-like and firm while at the same time keeping "the door open " to reach a satisfactory settlement . I am grateful for the professional manner in which Steve Williams represented me and my claim . He has my highest recommendation regarding his professional ability and strength of character. - J. Newton

    After contacting Mr. Williams about handling my case, he was very diligent about gathering all the facts and information surrounding the accident. Mr. Williams was also steadfast during the negotiation process with the insurance companies involved. The administrative staff in his office was great to work with and very helpful with any and all questions I had throughout the process. Mr. Williams understood the severity of my injuries and made sure the final settlement was agreeable to me, especially to ensure I would be secure financially if any more procedures and/or surgeries would be required in the unforeseeable future. I am quite confident in saying he had my best interests at heart. - G. Toney

    Steve Williams is an excellent attorney. From my dealings with him that he is honest, responsible, and above all he works extremely hard for his clients. I don’t think any practicing attorney would have gotten the settlement he provided for me. If need be, and I needed a competent legal representation, I would not be hesitant to call Steve Williams to provide me with unequal legal guidance from Mr. Williams. - N. Corey
