Many playground accident injuries could be avoided by maintaining the appropriate depth of padding below playground equipment. This is the responsibility of the school, park, or individual property owner.
Improperly secured swings, railings, ramps, or stairs can lead to a fall that causes a broken limb or a more severe injury if an older child falls on a younger one.
As with so many types of injuries to children, adequate supervision and insufficient equipment maintenance is often the cause of playground injuries.
A childhood injury may have occurred several years ago, but that is a small amount of time compared to your child's lifetime of coping with the effects. New York law allows for an extended period of recovery for damages as the statute of limitations on an injury to a child does not begin to be tolled until that child turns 18.
