It’s completely normal for parents to worry about the safety and well-being of their children. Summer in Arizona opens up opportunities for many exciting new activities and adventures, but there’s also an increased risk of injury. If you want to keep your children as safe as possible during their summer breaks, you’re in the right place.
We at Jensen Phelan Law Firm are specialist personal injury lawyers. We may be able to help you prevent serious injuries to children and keep all of your family members safe. If you or your child gets injured, we may be able to hold negligent or reckless individuals accountable for their harmful actions. If you want to learn more about keeping your children safe, please consider our suggestions.
Whenever your child is playing, whether they’re in the front yard or at the public swimming pool, be sure to keep an eye out for their safety. Often, children don’t know to look before crossing the street or otherwise act without thinking due to their lack of experience in life. For example, at a swimming pool, always keep an eye out and be in earshot in case there are sudden dangers, especially if your kids don’t know how to swim.
Keeping an eye on your busy children allows you to prevent as many hazardous activities as possible, safely keeping them from drowning, falling, getting burns, getting hit or interacting with other dangers. If you personally aren’t able to keep an eye on your kids, for any reason, ask another trusted and responsible adult to pay special attention to protect your children. This might be a family friend, partner, lifeguard, or another trusted individual.
Summer in Arizona increases the risk of heat exhaustion, and kids are especially vulnerable to the dangers. One of the best ways to prevent severe illness, pain, or discomfort in your children is to learn the signs of heat exhaustion your kids might display. Learning these signs might help you identify when to take immediate medical action. Some signs of heat exhaustion may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Wearing hats, drinking extra water, staying in the shade, avoiding strenuous exercise in the heat of the day and other similar precautions are aided by planning ahead for the activity. By familiarizing yourself with the above-listed signs of heat exhaustion, you are preparing yourself to protect your family the best way. If you’re concerned about identifying these signs or want additional tips, speak with your child’s pediatrician for extra information or remember our list above and return to see it later.
It’s important to keep your personal injury lawyer’s number on your phone, especially if your child or other family members enjoy keeping busy with a variety of activities. Jensen Phelan Law Firm does not charge for answering your injury claim questions. A number of scenarios might require legal representation (or action), including a public pool that is not adequately supervised by a qualified lifeguard, a coach allowing dangerous or excessive behavior on the athletic field, and many more. If your child gets injured due to someone else’s irresponsible behavior, your lawyer may be able to help in the following ways:
We strongly recommend hiring a talented lawyer whenever you need to take legal action. Top-quality legal representation results in larger awards: retain the best specialist injury lawyers you can. If you have been in an accident, speak to an attorney without delay. Calling a lawyer as quickly as possible helps you ensure your family wins the case and gets fair compensation, plus the legal fee is the same and your case gets more legal work done by starting early.
