Understanding the Unique Aspects of Child Injuries

Child injuries and their consequences can be far more complex than injuries to adults. This is partly due to the fact that children’s bodies are still growing, and many injuries do not become apparent until they reach further into their development. This can also apply to emotional and physiological trauma which can have a negative impact for a lifetime.

Child Injury Claims

Texas Law establishes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Child injuries may fall outside this period; the claim period may begin when the child reaches adulthood. While minors’ claims periods have “tolled,” a consultation with our child injury lawyers in Amarillo should occur as soon as possible to protect your child’s rights and begin building a robust and well-supported case.

Who Can Be Held Accountable?

Under Texas personal injury statutes, victims have the right to hold any parties whose negligence or misconduct led to injuries, pain, and suffering liable. The liable parties may include individuals and entities tasked with the care and supervision of children, such as:

  • School districts and educational institutions:  Although there are significant limitations to holding them accountable, schools and institutions have a duty to provide a safe environment for students and may be held accountable for injuries that occur on their premises or due to staff negligence.
  • Daycare providers: Parents entrust daycare centers with their children’s safety. When this trust is broken through inadequate care or negligence, these providers can be pursued legally for resultant injuries.
  • Sports and recreational facilities: Organizations responsible for sports and recreation must ensure your child’s safety. Failure to do so through improper maintenance or inadequate supervision can lead to liability.
  • Camp operators and youth organizations: Camps and youth groups are responsible for keeping children safe during their activities. If this duty is breached and results in injury, they can be subject to legal action.
