Child injuries can be especially impactful and frightening to deal with. What matters most is the child’s health; unfortunately, an accident’s financial consequences can strain the entire family.

How Prevalent Are Child Injuries?

Unfortunately, child injuries are quite common throughout the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a child is treated for an injury in the emergency department roughly every four seconds. The CDC also indicates that around one out of every five child deaths is due to injury and that, on average, one child dies from an injury every hour.

The number of children dying from injuries has dropped by 30% in recent decades. However,  injury remains the number one cause of death among children.  

A Brief Overview of Child Injury Law

If your child was hurt and it was someone else’s fault, they may be held liable for their actions (or inactions). Three key areas of personal injury law commonly apply in child injury cases.

Product Liability

Those involved with creating and selling a product have a responsibility to ensure it is safe from design, manufacturing, and marketing defects. Companies involved with dangerous or defective products can be held responsible for the harm those products cause.

Premises Liability

Public and private property owners are responsible for ensuring their properties are reasonably safe. When they fail to do so, they can be liable for the harm that results. Children are afforded special protection by Florida premises liability law insofar as property owners can still be held liable even if the child was trespassing at the time of the accident.

Negligent Security or Supervision

Caretakers of children, such as those at a school or daycare center, have a responsibility to provide sufficient supervision. Depending on the circumstances, that can even include taking precautionary measures. Failing to do so can result in liability for damages. 

Types of Child Injuries 

Children are susceptible to injury because their bodies are still growing and can be relatively fragile as a result. Some of the more common types of child injury include:

What Are the Long-Term Consequences of Florida Child Injuries?

Because children are still developing, an injury can have especially severe long-term consequences. These consequences can include, but are not limited to:

  • PTSD
  • Anxiety
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Physical disability
  • The loss of a safe, normal childhood
  • Developmental disability

Our Tampa child injury attorneys will be sure to evaluate the full extent of your child’s damages when you hire us to represent you.

What Causes the Majority of Child Injuries in Hillsborough County?

A child can become injured in innumerable different ways, but some of the more common are:

Children are vulnerable to becoming hurt, but that doesn’t mean the responsible party shouldn’t be held accountable for their behavior. Winters and Yonker, P.A., can help stand up for your child’s rights and interests when you choose us to take on your case.

What Is My Tampa Child Injury Case Worth?

The worth of child injury cases can be complex to evaluate because children have so much life ahead of them. Most of the time, hiring an expert will be necessary to accurately assess the value of your child injury case. Factors that tend to affect the value of most cases include:

  • Whether the child will make a full recovery from the accident
  • The type and severity of the injuries sustained
  • The terms and conditions of any relevant insurance policies
  • How much evidence is available to support your compensation claim

Our legal team will conduct a comprehensive investigation into your case to fully articulate its value. We will aim to maximize the value of your claim so that you and your family can move forward as best as possible.

What Kinds of Compensation Can I Receive for My Child’s Injuries in Tampa, Florida?

Florida law allows you to recover economic, non-economic, and sometimes punitive damages after your child has suffered an injury in Tampa.

Economic damages include the financial consequences of the accident:

Non-economic damages include the other, less quantifiable consequences of the accident:

Punitive damages are rarely awarded in personal injury cases but might be available when the at-fault party acted with recklessness or malice.

How Long Do I Have To File My Child Injury Lawsuit in Florida?

Florida’s statute of limitations sets forth deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed in the state. A court of law will not accept your case – and you will forfeit your right to compensation – if you file your lawsuit too late.

By default, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, Florida law could allow additional time depending on the age of the child and the nature of the accident. 

Because of this nuance, we recommend contacting us as soon as you can if you aren’t sure whether you can still file a lawsuit in your case. This is something we can look into during your initial consultation.

You and your family are likely going through an immensely difficult time after a child injury. With so much on your plate, the last thing you should have to worry about is how you will hold the at-fault party liable for what they’ve done.

This was my first personal injury experience. I wanted to choose a law office I could trust. A friend of mine recommended the law offices of Winters & Yonker, Personal Injury Lawyers in Tampa. Through the entire process Attorney Marc Yonkers was helpful and communication was stellar. I never felt out the loop. I felt confident throughout entire process. Which this month (Sept. 2023) they were able to settle my accident case successfully and to my 100% satisfaction. I cannot recommend Winters & Yonker and or Marc any higher. In short they are firm, fair, aggressive, responsive, super smart and know the numerous ins and outs of Personal Injury cases (which can be quite complicated). Upon hiring them you get a law firm that will leave you confident that your case will be handled expertly and with your interests front and center.

Winters and Yonkers has been a legend of the Tampa Bay personal injury Attorney community for a long time. I was in a car accident recently with my husband, we suffered back and neck pains after two days and thought to get someone’s help. I found Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers through a google search and called them right up. The same day Mr. Winters contacted both of us, listened, and was compassionate to our situation. He helped us through the entire process including getting me seen by a Doctor so we could heal our injuries correctly, and we got our medical bills reduced! Bill Winters, my case manager, and the entire staff were very knowledgeable and exceptional at their work. We would like to express my sincere gratitude to them and recommend them without any hesitation to anybody who needs help, don't try and fight the at fault's insurance on your own. If you're injured and need someone to protect your rights you won't find a better Attorney than Bill Winters at Winters & Yonkers!-Geneva, Tampa FL#personalinjurylawyer #caraccidentlawyer #tampainjuryattorney

My wife and I are work in Mediation and Arbitration but know nothing about personal injury cases. When a young delivery Truck driver who was distracted by his phone hit us at full speed and rear-ended us as we were stopped in traffic on Wesley chapel. We knew we needed to hire the best lawyers with PI experience and expertise in the Tampa legal community that we could.From our first phone call with Bill Winters and then all the way through Trial preparation then Trial, we never felt any bad about our case because we knew Bill and the entire staff at Winters and Yonker would take care of us.Their dedication, innovation, motivation, reliability, unparalleled intellect, and exceptional skill as trial lawyers make them extraordinary individuals. My experience working with them was nothing short of exceptional. Experiencing a car accident is an ordeal that encompasses fear, trauma, and frustration. It's a life-changing event in anyone's life. There was no amount of money that could ever make me alright, because I would give any amount of cash to not have to go through the nightmare that the car accident was and continues to be.It took almost 2 years from the time of the car crash to go to trial, but ultimately the jury verdict that Bill Winters got for my family was worth fighting for. There were so many times over the course of the three years that we actively realized how amazing it was that we felt no anxiety or concerns or worries about our case, because Bill is truly outstanding!If you or anyone you know gets hurt in a car accident, call Winters and Yonkers RIGHT AWAY! And then rest assured that you, your family, or friends are being cared for by the ABSOLUTE BEST legal team in Tampa Bay. Thank you, Winters & Yonker!

Winters & Yonker law firm did excellent work with my injury case. Luckily, I was referred to Winters & Yonker from a good friend after I was injured in a car accident. I did some initial research about injury lawyers near me, but the reviews for this office really stood out to me in Tampa. I decided to call and after a single phone conversation, the choice was easy to make! Not only was everyone extremely professional, they made the entire process smooth and clear. I was at ease with each step of the way because they were always there to answer my questions and keep me informed of what was happening. All expectations were met and my settlement was exceeded. I got much more than I thought was even possible from the insurance company. I highly recommend the Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers, and their team in Tampa to anyone in need of help after a car, truck, or motorcycle accident. You'll be in good hands!

I was injured in a car crash here in town. Since it was essentially a "he said she said" accident case the opposing insurance claimed it was a 50/50 fault. Even though it clearly could not have been my fault. However, Bill worked diligently to get me everything I was needed to get my life back. He worked to get me access to all the doctors I needed and medical treamtment for my neck and back. Plus, a large settlement amount. Bill even took the time to calm me down when I saw the initial amount and cost for seeing my medical bills piling up! He even managed to get them to reduce their bills significantly! Plus, I received as much as possible. Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers in Tampa provided a great legal service. They were strait forward and honest about the approach, and communicated every aspect of the process. The firm took care of everything. I would 100% without a doubt recommend him if I knew someone that need a personal injury attorney. Given the circumstances of our introduction I hope I never have to, BUT Bill Winters will definitely be my first call if I'm ever injured again!

Everyone on their staff is amazing! Chris and Sara won my case and helped me out with an accident that occurred a few months back. They made the entire process so easy! They called with case updates but not too often where it was constant phone calls. It was just enough to know what was going on the whole time without being bombarded. Thankful for Tayler on their staff who helped inform me on why Winters and Yonker was the best choice to go with!

Highly recommend. Bill Winters and his staff took time to answer my questions, and handled my case in a timely and professional manner. I almost didn't contact a lawyer over my "small" injury case because I feared it would be so difficult and stressful. But he got me the settlement that my insurance company owed me, and I would never have been able to do that on my own. And with less stress that I anticipated. I'm glad I called them.

Winters and Yonker is who you want to go to when you get in a car accident because they will take care of you and won’t let you get low balled on your settlement. I got in a car accident where my back and shoulder was injured and I was referred to a attorney named Trevor. I appreciate Trevor for handling my case and keeping me informed with all the information I needed.

One of the best law firms in Tampa. My family was involved in a serious car accident. We went to that other personal injury firm with the two M's they were trying to make us settle the case quickly and they we're not listening to us with the arrogant attitude that they were the experts and we were just ignorant. We promptly fired them and then hired Winters & yonker. Our settlement was 5 times higher than what the MM wanted to settle for.I would like to thank Winters and Yonkers entire staff for a wonderful experience. They were all very knowledgeable and walked us through the whole process. We really felt like they cared, unlike the other firm.

I’m giving Winters & Yonker a shout out. My mother fell in Winn Dixie afew months ago. Her first choice wasMorgan & Morgan; however, after theinterview with them they decided not to take the case. My perception was that it was not a big enough case for them. I knew that she deserved to be compensated for her injuries, and I had mad faith in Winters & Yonker from using them in the past. They not only took the case but settled it in record time. Thanks Winters and Yonker, and I like to send a special thank you to Christopher Smith, who was never to busy when I needed answers. I would recommend your law firm to anyone. I found you to be ethical, professional, and respectful to my family, but most of all you will fight for the little guy. Much love and respect. God bless you all and your families👏👏👏👏

I was searching for a local car accident lawyer near me after I was rear-ended by someone earlier this month. I was being pushed around by the at-fault driver's insurance company and needed some legal help.I found Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers through Google Maps and decided to get a free consult. I called the Tampa office of this firm and talked to them about my options. I briefly told them of my situation and was connected to Bill shortly after. He was extremely informative and was very professional. By the end of the same day he had me meet with a private investigator and referred me to a chiropractor nearby. Great customer service, and I look forward to how well my settlement will turn out. I know I am in good hands!
