Lack of Playground Supervision Lawyer

Children require strict supervision when engaged in activities on a playground. While most of these structures have been designed and constructed with safety as the primary concern, they still utilize equipment that may cause injury if children are playing recklessly on or around them. If you have placed your child under the care of another party, such as a school or babysitter, it is that party’s responsibility to provide the supervision necessary to protect your child from harm.

If your child has sustained a playground-related injury while under the supervision of another person, then you may have the right to take action against him or her. Lack of playground supervision lawyer Jeffrey Killino can help you learn more about and pursue your legal rights in this situation.

Common Lapses in Playground Supervision

In order for a playground to be safe, the equipment must be secure and well maintained and there should be good adult supervision present at all times. Negligent supervision or a total lack of supervision puts all children in the recreational area at risk. Common lapses in playground supervision include the following:

  • Adult out of hearing range or line-of-sight range
  • Lack of supervision as large amounts (or all) of the children enter or exit
  • Lack of adult walking around the playground to watch the children
  • Lack of intervention when children behave aggressively or negligently
  • Lack of communication among supervisors or between supervisors and the children’s parents
  • Lack of action taken to warn kids of playground dangers or prevent them from playing unsafely

When you place your child under the care of another person or institution, that party has the responsibility of providing adequate supervision. This party’s failure to do so may render them liable for any injuries your child incurs while under his or her watch. If your child has sustained a playground-related injury while under another’s supervision, then you may have the right to claim damages. Call lack of supervision on playground lawyer Jeffrey Killino to learn more about your rights in this situation.
