Hialeah Child Injuries

Hialeah, located in Florida’s Miami-Dade County, was founded in 1925. Named after a Native American term meaning “Pretty Prairie” or “High Prairie,” Hialeah has an interesting history and many landmarks. It is the sixth largest city in the state and is located only twenty minutes from Miami. Miami-Hialeah has been ranked as one of the best cities in the US for doing business by Inc. Magazine. Hialeah’s fire department has also received allocates for its quality.

Despite being a great place to live, Hialeah, like all communities, sees its share of child injuries. Child injuries in Hialeah and surrounding areas occur most often due to car accidents and traffic accidents, but the legal staff at the Flaxman Law Group has also noticed that in many cases children are seriously injured on school trips, in school, and while taking part in supervised activities.

In many cases, yes. Schools are expected to provide a safe environment for children, as are day care facilities and other caregiver situations. If the school has overlooked situations of bullying or potential violence or has failed to act in a manner to prevent such violence, they may be held partly liable. In many cases, such incidents are the result of inadequate action to warning signs as well as inadequate security and inadequate responses. In these cases, parents can often pursue justice by pursuing a legal claim. In some cases, premises liability or inadequate security claims in Hialeah or your community are possible. Compensation from this claim can help pay for medical care, school expenses, and other costs associated with a child injury. To find out more, contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the injury. An attorney can review your case, secure evidence, and can help you pursue justice in your case.
