Tampa Child Injury Lawyer
For many reasons, children are more accident prone than adults. Not only do they lack coordination as their bodies grow (sometimes many inches in a single year), but their rambunctious nature leads to a myriad of bumps and bruises. However, not every injury a child sustains is the result of just playing around. Car crashes kill thousands of children every year. Defective toys, booster seats, and furniture prone to tipping over cause countless injuries amongst young users. Whether your child was injured by a driver, a company that manufactured a defective or dangerous product, or on school grounds when there was a clear lack of supervision, you may be able to successfully recover damages from the at fault party. While the matter of serious child injuries is heartbreaking every time, the Tampa child injury lawyer at The Matassini Law Firm, P.A. has decades of combined experience resolving such issues for our clients, and is here for you in your time of need.

Proving Fault in a Child Injury Case
Quite often, proving fault in a child injury case is the same as proving fault in a personal injury case in which the victim is an adult. Other times, however, child injury claims can be more complicated. For one thing, children are more likely to blindly accept blame when an adult says they are at fault. Secondly, a child’s account of what happened is less likely to act as substantial proof of how the injury occurred. A fast food restaurant owner, for example, might claim that your child was running and that running was the cause of a slip and fall, not the greasy, unclean floor. For these reasons, it is best to reach out to an experienced Tampa child injury lawyer as soon as you can to start working on the case, to preserve evidence, and to ensure that your child’s memory of events are as clear as possible. Of course, testimony is not the only source of evidence. Depending on the circumstances in which your child was injured, we may use evidence such as traffic crash scene forensics, video surveillance, eyewitness accounts, and expert witnesses.
