What Constitutes a Playground Injury Case?

Playgrounds should be a place of fun and safety for children. However, injuries can occur due to defective equipment, lack of supervision, or hazardous conditions. When these injuries result from negligence—whether by property owners, equipment manufacturers, or supervising staff—families may be entitled to compensation. Common playground injury cases include falls, broken bones, concussions, and more severe harm caused by unsafe environments.

Key Laws for Playground Injury Cases in California

• Premises Liability: Property owners and operators are responsible for maintaining safe conditions and addressing hazards on playgrounds.
• Product Liability: Equipment manufacturers can be held liable for injuries caused by faulty or poorly designed playground structures.
• Statute of Limitations: For personal injury claims, families generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.

Examples of Playground Injury Cases

1. Defective Equipment: Injuries caused by broken slides, swings, or climbing structures.
2. Unsafe Conditions: Hazards such as exposed nails, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained grounds.
3. Lack of Supervision: Incidents where school staff, daycare workers, or other responsible adults fail to monitor children adequately.
4. Improper Installation: Equipment not installed according to safety guidelines, leading to accidents.

Steps to Take After a Playground Injury

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Prioritize your child’s health and document the extent of the injuries.
2. Report the Incident: Notify the playground owner, school, or facility operator about the accident.
3. Document the Scene: Take photographs of the playground equipment, hazardous conditions, and your child’s injuries.
4. Contact Torres Law Group: Ensure your family’s rights are protected by consulting our experienced attorneys.
