Choking Injury Lawyer
A childhood choking injury is one of every parent’s major worries. Children’s curious personalities compel them to place a wide variety of small objects in their mouths. In 2001, this curiosity resulted in over 17,000 children under the age of 14 being treated in emergency rooms for choking. Even when children are eating food, rather than chewing on foreign objects, they are at a high risk for choking incidents.
At the offices of childhood choking injury attorney Jeffrey Killino, we want to minimize preventable choking incidents as much as we can. We work to make sure negligent companies and caretakers are held responsible for the injuries they allow to happen. If your child has suffered a preventable choking injury, call us at 877-875-2927.
Common Causes of Choking
Certain objects are notorious for their common involvement in children’s choking injuries. Contact our childhood choking injury law firm if your child has been injured by:
A company may be responsible for choking incidents if it produces toys or children’s products that pose a choking hazard. Caretakers may be responsible if they fail to monitor children – especially while they are eating – or if they allow children to have toys or food inappropriate for their age.
The Tragic Consequences
Many choking incidents are handled quickly and efficiently. Sadly, this cannot be the case every time. A few percent of childhood choking victims do not survive their injuries. Even those who do survive may face terrible consequences, including brain damage from lack of oxygen.
Brain damage can cause life-long difficulties with thinking and learning, emotional regulation, or basic abilities like speech or vision. If your child is facing the difficult task of adjusting to a brain injury caused by oxygen deprivation, Jeffrey Killino can help.
