Even though schools, parks and playgrounds are places where children and adults can make friends, have fun and challenge themselves physically, there are also a lot of associated dangers and risks. Playground injuries can be severe, often occurring when someone is sliding, climbing or swinging. For example, if a child falls while climbing, they may fall several feet, resulting in a serious external or internal injury. Playground, park and school injuries include bruises, fractures, broken bones, head injuries, internal injuries and dislocations.

Playground operators and schools are required to protect kids from any foreseeable injuries and dangers. If you feel that the playground, park or school is responsible for your child’s accident, you’ll need an attorney to show several things, including:

• Who is responsible for the playground property?
• The injured party is the type of person who is expected to be on the property
• The defendant did not take the necessary steps to care for the property
• The child’s injury could have been foreseen or prevented by the defendant
• The child’s injury was caused by the carelessness of the defendant

For example, let’s say a child is hurt on a school playground because there’s a piece of exposed, sharp metal. The school knows that children will be playing on the playground equipment, and they are supposed to make the equipment safe to play on. If the equipment has not been inspected for a long time or if it was inspected and the metal wasn’t repaired or removed, it’s possible that the school can be found liable for the injury. By hiring an attorney like those at Polinsky Law Group, LLC, you’ll be able to find out all of the details of the playground property, including who is liable.
