According to America’s Health Rankings, the leading cause of death in children is accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 139,042 children suffered traffic accident injuries in 2020 with an average of three children killed and approximately 380 children injured daily. 

These statistics highlight the dangers to children in potential accidents and injuries across the country. Unfortunately, traffic accidents are among the most prominent causes of injuries and fatalities for both children and adults. 

Other causes of childhood injuries can include:

• Accidents on playgrounds
• Accidents on school property
• Accidents related to sports or other recreational activities
• Dog bites
• Bicycle accidents
• Swimming pool accidents
• Incidents of sexual abuse
• Incidents of neglect or other types of abuse

These accidents can result in a variety of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to broken bones, sprains, whiplash, concussions, organ damage, broken teeth, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and even death. 

Determining responsibility for a child's injury can be complex. It might be a negligent driver, a manufacturer of a faulty product, a property owner who didn't maintain safe conditions, or even a caregiver who failed to supervise properly.
