Michigan Child Household Accidents February 18, 2010
Home injuries are one of the top reasons why children under the age of 3 years visit the emergency room. Nearly 70% of children who die at home from unintentional injuries are age 4 and younger. Young children have the highest risk of being injured at home because that is where they spend most of their time. Examples of these types of accidents include falling down stairs, ingesting poisonous substances, getting electrical shocks or burns, and being subject to cuts or amputations from playing with a sharp or dangerous objects.
A child injured due to a dangerous or defective product may have a claim against the manufacturer or seller of the product that causes the injury. If the accident occurs in someone else’s home, a claim can potentially be made against the homeowner where the incident occurred if the child was unsupervised or permitted to play with a dangerous object or around a dangerous condition. The homeowner’s insurance company of that individual will often pay a settlement to the injured child.
