Child Firearm Injuries Lawyer
A number of highly publicized tragedies over the years have brought the public’s attention to the dangers of allowing children near firearms. Tragically, people continue to overlook important firearm safety regulations around children. Between 2000 and 2005, around three children were killed every day in gun-related accidents or suicides.
At the law firm of child firearm injuries attorney Jeffrey Killino, we are deeply concerned about children’s safety around firearms. If your child has been injured by a negligent firearm owner, we want to help you protect your legal rights.
Firearm Injuries and Legal Action
Federal law has little to say on the subject of children and guns. A person must be 18 to buy a rifle or ammunition, and 21 to buy another kind of gun or its ammunition. Additionally, guns are not allowed in a school zone. Beyond that, individual states are allowed to determine their own laws about weapons and minors.
Because of this, the details of your legal case will depend strongly on your location. A child firearm injury lawyer can help you determine the best course of action if your child has been injured by an act of negligence such as:
- Selling or giving a firearm to a minor
- Carrying a firearm onto a school campus
- Failing to keep firearms safely locked up
- Failing to exercise proper caution when hunting or target shooting near children
- Producing a firearm with a defective safety lock or other flaw
