Garden City Lawyer Helping Children Injured in Playground Accidents

Nassya Playground Injury Accident Attorney

The neighborhood playground is often the center of social life for a young person. The playground and the school yard are where a child spends most of his waking hours away from home.

The playground is also the location for many childhood injuries. Usually these injuries are the result of unavoidable accidents on the child's part, but sometimes playground injuries are the result of negligence or unsafe equipment. When that is the case, it's possible to seek financial compensation for your child's injuries.

When defective equipment has caused a serious injury to a child, it's equally important to see that dangerous conditions on the playground are remedied. While it may be expensive to maintain property and equipment properly, it's essential to the well being of thousands of children. If city maintenance staff will not take the problems seriously, a personal injury case may drive home the fact that dangerous conditions cannot be ignored.

If your child was injured on a playground, know your rights

There are two major differences in New York premises liability law regarding injuries on a playground, a school ground, or other state owned property:

• There is a much shorter statute of limitations for premises liability cases on government property, AND
• Before you file your lawsuit you must notify the city that you will be filing a claim. You must do that within the first 90 days following an injury.
