Jonathan Perazzo, founder of the Perazzo Law Firm and father of two, understands the dangers that children are exposed to and the care that children require from responsible adults in order to avoid serious injury from accidents. That is why, following an accident that results in bodily harm or mental trauma to children, an adult or business operator may be liable for medical expenses and compensation for pain, suffering, and losses.

Children, along with the elderly, are among the most at risk when it comes to being hurt in accident involving everyday situations.

The Perazzo Law Firm shares some of the most common accident situations involving children:

Children depend on the guidance, supervision, and care of adults. Sadly, adults are not always alert or aware of the dangers that children face on a daily basis. Many motorists drive while distracted, at high speeds, and negligently down city streets and suburban roads. When they do, children are at high risk of being run over and either seriously injured or killed. Many times children will cross the street without looking, either because they are playing or chasing down a ball. Motorists that are distracted by cell phone use, will most often not detect a child crossing the street until it's too late. A child that is run over by a car can suffer head injuries and broken bones. At high speeds, a car can cause a child to suffer injuries that result in the child's death. Car accidents that end in a child fatality will have most often have devastating long term or everlasting effects on family members. the Perazzo Law Firm in Miami-Dade is ready and determined to helping the loved-ones and family members of a child that has suffered injury as a pedestrian to receive the just compensation to cover medical expenses, losses, and the pain and suffering brought on from the accident.

Children love to ride bicycles and what better than riding in a safe environment such as a park or along bike lanes. Sadly, there negligent motorists on the streets distracted by cell phone use or even driving while under the influence that can run into a child on a bicycle. Even though kids should wear the proper safety elements like helmets, knee and elbow pads, not all parents or guardians enforce this safety precaution. When a motorist crashes into a child on a bike, the results can be devastating. A child that is run into by a motor vehicle can suffer a number of injuries that can range from minor cuts and bruises, to more severe injuries like fractures or broken bones. Though a child may recover quickly from a broken bone, breaks are considered permanent injuries, and many times could involve surgery and rehabilitation. Children that suffer head injuries can experience brain trauma, which can lead to medical conditions later in life. Brain trauma can cause dizziness, loss of memory, tingling sensations along the arms and legs, or even medical treatment through prescription drugs, which can destroy internal organs with time. Children hurt as a result of negligent motorists should seek medical attention and follow-up, and their legal guardians should seek the advice of our experienced Personal Injury staff of attorneys, who will fight to make sure they receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses, both present and future.

Babies and younger children are obliged by law to ride in a safety-proven baby-seat that is properly fastened. Sudden braking or collisions can rattle and injure a small child that is not properly secure in a baby seat. Children should never ride in the passenger seat. When they do, the chances of being injured in a car accident are higher. Children in Miami car accidents should be taken to the hospital regardless of whether or not there are signs of injuries. The Perazzo Law Firm recommends that children receive medical attention to rule-out head trauma or spinal cord damage. The child's legal guardian should keep all medical recommends and police reports pertinent to the accident in which the child was hurt.

Public and private commercial businesses and establishments owe a duty to guarantee that visitors, shoppers, or guests can roam free from danger on their premises. When there is an accident as a result of the property owner or operator's place of business, an insurance claim can be filed and compensation for injuries, damages, losses, or wrongful death can be sought. The Perazzo Law Firm strives to make sure children injured in, on, or around private or public establishments receive the compensation they deserve. Some of the places where children may suffer persona injury include:
