Child Bleacher Fall Lawyer
We all submit ourselves to the hard seating of bleachers when we attend school or even professional sporting activities. These uncomfortable structures are among the most cost-effective ways to provide mass-seating, so spectators are often required to climb and sit on them. When bleachers are poorly designed, however, their users – young children in particular – run the risk of suffering a serious fall injury. Unsuspecting individuals may fall off, through, or onto bleachers that do not have the proper safety measures in place.
If your child has been injured in a bleacher fall, then you may be eligible to receive compensation. Child bleacher fall lawyer Jeffrey Killino has the experience and reputation necessary to effectively present your case in court. Contact him today at 877-875-2927 to begin your fight for damages immediately.
Who is to blame for your child’s injury?
Because of their small size and impulsive nature, children are the most common victims of bleacher falls. There are a number of causes of these incidents:
- Gaps in the footboard area
- Lack of or poorly designed guardrails
- Poorly secured bleachers
- Poor maintenance
- Lack of warning signs
- No hand rails
- Slick surfaces
- No aisles
- Poor supervision or rules in place
Despite certain states’ laws setting bleacher standards, and despite the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s published guidelines to retrofit bleachers into safer structures, over 15,000 children under the age of 15 are injured in bleacher accidents each year. Schools, stadiums, and other businesses that fail to protect their visitors by providing safe seating areas are negligently putting these people at risk.
