Window Cord Choking Lawyer

Most people may not think about how everyday objects and household features may pose a threat to young children. However, when infants and toddlers are moving about the house, their curiosity, lack of body control, and naiveté may lead to serious accidents involving seemingly harmless items. Window cords, in particular, pose a choking hazard for children who can reach and choose to play with them.

If your child has suffered a choking injury from a window cord that someone else has carelessly left within reach of youngsters, then you may choose to pursue your legal right to compensation for the pain your child has suffered and any associated medical bills. Window cord choking lawyer Jeffrey Killino can help you with your case. Please call our offices today at 877-875-2927 to speak with him.

Childproofing your home

Each year, over 2 million children are injured or die as a result of mishaps resulting from hazards posed by common household items. A method known as “childproofing” the home can help you prevent the involvement of your child in these unforeseen accidents. Child-proofing basically means that the homeowner or caretaker makes certain adjustments to the location or arrangement of household items in order to remove any dangers they could pose to small children. For example, placing covers over wall sockets will prevent children from suffering an electric shock.

Prevention Measures

There are certain measures that one can take regarding the residence’s windows in particular to prevent child injury inside the home.

  • Use window cord “wind-ups” or window cord shorteners to keep these dangerous ropes out of reach
  • Use safety tassels to prevent the entanglement of a child in cord loops
  • Ensure that your blinds have tension devices that maintain the tautness of window cords
  • Use a cord cleat to keep window cords out of reach
