Any person's injury is far more damaging to children as they are much more vulnerable to injuries than adults. Serious injuries can often can lead to permanent disabilities in children and may in some cases also result in death of kids.

A child can get injured due to various causes such as:

A dog bite or animal attack
Caregiver’s failure to supervise
Medical malpractice
Bicycle accident
Auto accident
School-related accident
Brawl while playing with other kids
Sports-related injuries

Majority of child injuries are due to these causes, but the vast majority are often associated with road accidents, sports-related injuries, and animal attacks. This is especially true for children who are below the age of 10 as they are often unable to comprehend their surroundings and don’t even know how to avoid a situation or where to seek shelter in case of emergency.

If your child has suffered a life-changing injury, then you must take immediate action so that the child may get the best in terms of healthcare, support and funds to continue the treatment. With the rising cost of healthcare, long-term medical care is often unaffordable for the most families.

Severe injuries may require years of treatment, and it’s not uncommon to see healthcare expenses run into millions for such cases. Most American families are not ready for this sort of situation, and the financial aspect further complicates this, not to mention the emotional and physical toll which a child injury usually has on the family.
