Playground Fatalities
Playground injuries are a fact of life. At one time or another, we all got a scrape or bruise from playing with other children around jungle gym or monkey bars. Unfortunately, playground injuries may be much more severe and, in some cases, deadly. When this happens, the person in charge of the playground may be liable for any deaths that occur as a result of an accident at the playground.

Deadly Injuries
Playground injuries range from minor to severe. Some of the more severe injuries may lead to more serious complications, including death. Severe injuries that could be fatal are:
- Head injuries that cause brain damage or aneurysms
- Blunt trauma that causes internal bleeding
- Broken ribs that may inhibit breathing
While this is not a comprehensive list, these injuries are some of the most common ones that lead to further complications and death. Sometimes these accidents are just that, accidents. They are caused by children being children and are not preventable.
When an injury is preventable and is caused by faulty playground equipment or unsafe conditions, then a death resulting from an injury may be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. It is important that you contact an experienced wrongful death lawyer to handle your case if you decide to sue.
