Childhood Playground Injuries Can Have Serious Consequences
Strangulation is the cause of most playground deaths and falls account for 80% of the 220,000 injuries on playgrounds in the United States per year. A survey of Michigan playgrounds found that 88% of playgrounds lacked adequate surface protection – less than the recommended nine inches of loose fill or wood chips – and 65% of playgrounds had slides and climbers higher than the recommended maximum of six feet. To be safe, avoid play areas built on hard grass or asphalt, and look for hazards where clothing can get caught and strangle a child.

What Are The Most Common Playground Injuries?
Playground accidents can lead to various injuries, but some are more common than others. Falls from playground equipment often result in fractures, sprains or even more severe injuries like head trauma. Burns from hot surfaces on playground equipment, cuts and bruises are also frequent. Negligent supervision and unsafe playgrounds can significantly increase the risk of these injuries. Our attorneys are well-versed in handling such incidents and can help navigate the complexities of your case.
What Types Of Damages Can I Recover For My Child’s Injuries?
In Michigan, you may be entitled to recover damages through a personal injury claim for medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress and in some cases, future medical treatments related to the injury. If the playground conditions were unsafe or if there was negligent supervision, additional compensation might be available. Our playground injury lawyers will evaluate your case thoroughly to ensure that all potential avenues for compensation are explored and pursued.
