While automobile and truck accidents are the number one cause of child injury and death according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (hereinafter CDC), there are also many other unintentional and intentional injuries that harm children each year. Such child injuries and accidents are caused by and include birth injuries, defective playground equipment, drowning, defective child safety seats, defective toys, dog attacks, medical malpractice, negligent hiring or daycare, school or church staff and accidents that occur while a child is being watched by a trusted family member, friend or neighbor.
