Playground Injuries

Playgrounds are places where children can run around, enjoy themselves, make friends, and play games. Unfortunately, playgrounds are full of safety hazards as well. Every year, around 150,000 children come into emergency rooms with injuries from playgrounds, making it one of the leading causes of emergency room visits for children. When a playground causes a child to have an injury, parents may be entitled to pursue the owner of the playground for compensation.

Playground Hazards

The National Playground Safety Institute has identified some of the greatest offenders in playground injuries. These defects in equipment or lack of maintenance can have serious consequences for your child. They include:

• Lack of appropriate protective surfaces
• Protrusions in equipment
• Entrapment in openings
• Insufficient equipment spacing
• Trip hazards on the ground
• Lack of guardrails
• Sharp edges

When these hazards are present, children run the risk of being seriously injured in a playground accident.
