What are the leading causes of child injuries in Mexico, Missouri?

Children are our most vulnerable citizens. Their bodies heal differently than ours, and their developing brains require special care in head injury cases. Another major difference between personal injury cases and child injury cases is how injuries can occur. Children are susceptible to poor decision-making. In many cases, children are injured by an attractive nuisance. An attractive nuisance can be anything a child finds appealing that is also dangerous. Pools or bodies of water, machinery, vehicles, and animals can all be considered attractive nuisances. 


One of the leading causes of child injury is auto accidents. Even when they are buckled into the appropriate seat for their age, height, and weight, children are still in danger of being seriously injured in a car accident. Children can also be harmed in another person’s care. Child care negligence includes injuries that occur when your child is left unsupervised by caregivers or the caregiver’s facilities are unsafe due to negligence. 

What does the state of Missouri consider to be a child injury?

When children can be harmed in so many ways, it can be confusing to understand exactly what Missouri courts consider to be child injury. A child injury can be but is not limited to

  • Abuse
  • Attractive nuisances 
  • Auto accidents
  • Bike accidents
  • Bullying
  • Child care accidents
  • Child care negligence
  • Defective product injuries
  • Dog bites
  • Slip, trip, and falls
  • Truck accidents
