Lawyers for Child Victims of Negligent Supervision
A child tugs at an electric cord and pulls a deep fat fryer off the counter. His skin is seared by the boiling oil. A toddler reaches for the handle of a saucepan on the stove and suffers a burn injury from the burning hot pot and scalding water. An older child at a day care center tries to pick up an infant but fumbles. The dropped baby suffers a traumatic brain injury. Unfortunately, these types of injuries are all too common.
About Negligent Supervision of Children
Children are frequently injured because the people responsible for keeping them away from harm aren't paying close enough attention. These types of negligent supervision injuries cause serious injury and wrongful death every year. At Freeman & Chiartas, our attorneys have won substantial verdicts and settlements for families with children who have suffered harm because of negligent supervision.

Negligent supervision takes many forms:
- Children left alone find matches and start a house fire.
- A car backs over an unsupervised child on a driveway.
- A baby is left locked in a car and dies from the heat.
- A scout leader fails to secure a hatchet.
- A child finds a loaded gun and shoots a playmate.
- A toddler drinks cleaning fluid at a home or day care center.
