Each year in the United States, more than 200,000 children ages 14 and younger are taken to the emergency department for playground-related injuries. About 45% of playground-related injuries are severe—fractures, internal injuries, concussions, dislocations, and amputations. About 75% of nonfatal injuries related to playground equipment occur on public playgrounds. Most occur at schools and daycare centers. Between 1990 and 2000, 147 children ages 14 and younger died from playground-related injuries. Of them, 82 (56%) died from strangulation and 31 (20%) died from falls to the playground surface. Most of these deaths (70%) occurred on home playgrounds. Please do not let your child be another statistic. If your child has been injured or died as a result of a playground trauma, you may be able to recover damages for your injuries, medical bills, etcetera.
