Compensation for Your Child's Injuries
Accidents caused by defective toys can require extensive hospital stays, multiple surgeries, therapy, and other expensive procedures to ensure a child’s recovery. As a result, you may be wondering what type of compensation you can recover from a defective toy claim.
While you can’t put a price on a child’s health, adequate compensation can be a step in the right direction. With the help of our firm, you can file a product liability lawsuit to recover damages for medical bills, ongoing care, pain and suffering, and additional financial losses.
In order to win your child’s toy injury claim, you must be able to prove that:
- The product was defective;
- The designer or manufacturer caused the product to be defective;
- As a direct result of the negligence, your child was injured; and
- Your child’s injuries resulted in compensable damages.
While the value for injuries sustained is relatively straightforward to determine, it is much more difficult to work out the potential loss of the child’s income as an adult and future medical treatment.
A product liability lawyer, and their access to professionals in the medical and economic field, can help determine the fair value of these types of lawsuits. That way, you are able to seek the appropriate amount of compensation from the manufacturer responsible for your child’s injuries.
What to Do If Your Child Is Injured by a Defective Toy
Seek Medical Attention
If your child has been injured by a dangerous or defective toy, the first step is to seek medical attention immediately. Be sure to document any medical treatment your child receives and keep all receipts and records related to the injury, as this can help your product liability claim later on.
Take Photos & Collect Evidence
Once your child has received medical attention, it is important to take photos of the toy and any injuries caused by it. If possible, collect any broken pieces of the toy as evidence of its defectiveness. Additionally, if there were any witnesses who saw what happened, make sure to get their contact information, as they may be able to provide valuable testimony later on.
Contact an Attorney
After collecting evidence and documenting your child’s injury, you should contact a Los Angeles toy injury lawyer who specializes in product liability cases. An experienced attorney, like those at Shoop APLC, can help you determine if you have a valid claim against the manufacturer or seller of the toy that caused your child’s injury and can advise you on how best to proceed with filing a lawsuit.
File a Product Liability Claim
If it is determined that you have a valid claim against the manufacturer or seller of the toy, then you will need to file a claim in order to receive compensation for damages such as medical bills and pain and suffering. Your attorney can help guide you through this process and ensure that all paperwork is filed correctly and on time so that your claim is not denied due to an administrative error.

Common toy-related dangers include:
- Choking hazards
- Strangulation hazards
- Toxic contaminants
- Dangerous magnets
