What should I do if my child has been hurt by a defective toy?

As a parent of a child who’s been injured by a product or a defective toy, after seeking medical treatment for the child, the most important big thing they can do is preserve the product or the toy in the condition it was in at the time the child suffered his or her injury. Preserve the box and the instructions and bring it to a lawyer who has experience handling product liability cases. I’m attorney Tom Kiley. I’ve been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades.

What do I do if I'm in a car accident and my child was injured?

The first thing a parent should do if they're involved in an accident and their child is injured, obviously, is to tend to the child. Once they asses the situation they should immediately call the police. It's very important. The police will come, they will document the position of the vehicles, perhaps cite the at fault driver. They will takes names and statements from witnesses. They perhaps will do an accident reconstruction. This is all very important, ultimately, for an attorney representing a parent and/or a child that's in a serious automobile accident. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

How do I recognize if my child suffered a birth injury?

Many times when parents come to us with a question about what happened to their child, they start to notice that the child isn't reaching milestones. Has an inability to roll over as a young infant. Inability to crawl or stand and maybe doesn't have balance. And they're starting to question what's wrong with the child because they don't necessarily understand that something traumatic happened during the birth process. And as soon as parents start to notice those signs, not only should they get a medical work up but they should seek out an attorney who can sort through the medical records and advise them as to whether or not something happened during the birth. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

What are the potential impacts of a child's exposure to lead?

A child who is exposed to lead, especially during the formative years, can sustain brain damage, um, learning disabilities or even death depending upon the concentration of lead in their bodies and in their bloodstreams. It's very dangerous. Therefore, when it shows up in toys, it's virtually mind-boggling that, in this day and age, corporations would be so careless that they wouldn't exercise care in assuring that these toxic poisonous substances are not in our toys and hurting our children. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Are child safety seat defects common?

Over the last decade or so there have been tremendous advances in the design of child seats. They are much safer today than they were two decades ago.

What are some common child safety hazards in cars?

With respect to automobile safety, there are particular hazards that apply to children. They have to be restrained. Many times there are defective seat belts that upon impact release and the child is ejected from the vehicle. Or they are sitting in a child safety seat, that's inadequately designed or a manufacturing flaw, that will allow the child to be ejected from the vehicle. Once a child is ejected from a vehicle, the seriousness of the injuries increase dramatically because the child does not have the safety of being contained within the vehicle itself. These injures many times devastating. If they don't cause death they can cause spinal cord injury, brain injury or paralysis. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families, in Massachusetts, for over three decades.

As a lawyer in Massachusetts representing a Cerebral Palsy victim, we don't just represent the victim, we represent the family. This is an enormous problem for these parents.

Outfitting the house for a handicap child, getting them to and from therapies, school, whatever training the child is able to engage in.

And they need money to replace their ability to work, to huge medical expenses, to 24-hour care and constant therapies throughout their lifetime. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Speaking from experience I can tell you that children are most likely to be attacked by a dog. I myself was attacked by a dog when I was a child.

It's a very dangerous situation, but children are the ones that are most susceptible to dog attacks, particularly because they are at the height of the dog.

Why representing dog bite cases are personal for me.

When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog and unfortunately my parents did not hire an attorney who specialized in dog bite cases. And they did not receive the recovery that I should have received for that case. It's one of the reasons that when I represent people that are in dog bite cases, particularly children, I fight to recover maximum recovery for them.

When is Cerebral Palsy typically diagnosed?

Tom Kiley: Cerebral Palsy typically is not diagnosed until the child is two, perhaps three years of age. What happens is the parents notice that the child is not reaching its normal milestones. It can't roll over on its own. It can't crawl. It can't walk. At that point the child needs to have medical evaluation to determine what the condition is. Parents don't always understand that there was trauma during the birth process that may have injured their child. After they see a doctor and find out, they need to see an attorny who's experienced in the area. I'm attorny Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Cerebral palsy is basically damage to the brain through trauma. It has many potential causes. Some are not preventable, some are. The ones that are preventable typically involve the treatment that's rendered to the mother and the child during the birth process. Leaving the child in the birth canal too long, a forceps delivery, vacuum extraction. Perhaps the failure to perform a cesarean section when the child is too large to pass through the birth canal. I'm Attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Can birth injuries be prevented?

Many birth injuries can be prevented. And it goes directly to the level of care that's provided by our physicians and our hospitals, Many times doctors, or people that are in charge of the pre-natal care, for a mother who's expecting a child don't do what they're supposed to do. They don't monitor the mother's blood sugar. They don't determine whether she's diabetic and going to have a large baby that won't fit through the birth canal. These are very important things that have to be done. If a baby's too large and can't fit through the birth canal and a cesarean section is not performed, it's a formula for disaster. And many times will end up with trauma to the child, it can cause death, cerebral palsy, brain damage. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

What injuries can a dog bite cause?

In dog bite cases especially those involving children we see very jagged injuries that are dirty, tend to get infected. We've seen children's ears get bitten off, lips torn, noses bitten off, eye damage. It can be very devastating especially if it's a large dog, and these injuries many times require plastic surgery to repair and involve permanent disfigurement, so the value of the cases could go from the thousands of dollars to millions of dollars depending upon how much damage the dog does to the child. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Who are the most common victims of a dog attack?

The most horrendous dog attack cases are the ones against children. Generally dogs will bite a child around the face, neck and head. With the very aggressive dogs, they will rip and tear. So, there is a lot of damage that creates tremendous scaring especially around the lips, the face, the eyes, the ears. I've seen cases of lips ripped off and ears ripped off and the amount of recovery time, the scaring, and the plastic surgery that comes afterwards, it?s just tremendous, its horrendous.

How much will it cost me to file a wrongful death claim in California?

In California, if you've lost a loved one, such as a spouse, a parent, or a child, in an accident caused by the negligence of somebody else, that's called a wrongful death. Most attorneys that handle wrongful death claims will do that on a contingency basis, meaning there will be no fee up front and there will only be a fee paid to the attorney when they make a recovery for the death of your loved one.
