OKLAHOMA TRAMPOLINE PARK INJURIES: You have probably seen the recent news stories relating to horrible injuries and even death resulting from injuries sustained at some Trampoline Parks. Devastating neck, spine and brain injuries have resulted from actions as simple as bouncing at the same time as someone else on a trampoline. Oklahoma premises liability laws are designed to protect Oklahoma children and adults from these kinds of injuries using trampoline equipment, with or without supervision, but many times these cases also involve defective trampoline equipment.
Spring, 2026 Alert: Oklahoma Child Care, Day Care, Child Learning Centers, and Child Development Center Injuries Suddenly Spike
Recently, there have been numerous reported cases of serious injuries to Oklahoma kids in Day Care and Child Care, as well as larger Child Learning Centers and Child Development Centers. Anytime a child is seriously injured while under the care or supervision of a trusted adult, parents should seek immediate legal advice. If your child has been seriously injured, We Can Help.
ALERT: Oklahoma Children At Risk of Serious Injury by Furniture Tipping Over
Far too many Oklahoma children are seriously injured each year by poorly designed furniture that can tip over crushing them. Recently, IKEA settled a case in California for $46 Million after one of their dressers tipped over killing a toddler. If your child has been seriously injured in a furniture tip over accident, please contact Self & Associates immediately.
ALERT: Oklahoma Cases of Child Poisoning and other Serious Injuries from Detergent Pods
Recently there has been an alarming rise in Child Poisoning Cases, Serious Burns, Blindness, Coma and even Death resulting from children accidently ingesting Laundry Detergent "Pods". The small, brightly colored pods are designed in such an attractive way, that they can appear to be candy, especially to young, or developmentally challenged children.
Types of Child Injury Cases Our Oklahoma Law Firm Represents:
Negligent Supervision: If your child was injured as the result of the inattention, actions or negligence of an Oklahoma teacher, Child Care worker, sports coach, scout leader, church leader, after school activity leader, or any other person who was charged with supervising your child.
Birth Injury: If your child was injured or harmed in any way and at any time during or immediately following birth by any Oklahoma doctor or medical professional.
Water Park Injury: If your child was injured because of negligent supervision, slipping and falling, or a defective water slide design at an Oklahoma water park.
Trampoline Park Injury: If your child was seriously injured in any way, regardless of the presence of parents or supervision at an Oklahoma Trampoline Park or any facility offering trampolines.
Amusement Park Injury: If your child was injured because of poor supervision, or a defective park ride at an Oklahoma amusement park.
Learning Center, Daycare & Child Care Injury: If your child was injured in any way while they were in the care of an Oklahoma daycare, child care, child learning center, or child development facility, or any after-school program or caregiver.
School Injury: If your child was injured in any way while they were at an Oklahoma school, or any school function or activity.
School Bus & School Bus Collision Injury: If your child was injured while entering, exiting, or while on any school bus in Oklahoma.
Negligent or Irresponsible Actions of Someone Else: This covers a wide array of possible Oklahoma child injury cases including: injured or poisoned while at a neighbor's house or pool, injured by a bully, slipping and falling in an Oklahoma store or business, injured in a poorly maintained or unsupervised play facility, and many others.
Injured in a Car Accident or Truck Collision: Most Oklahoma Children's Injuries occur because of a motor vehicle accident. Children are especially vulnerable because many times they are seated in the rear seat, which makes them extremely vulnerable to injury in any car or truck collision, especially a rear end collision where defective car seat backs in the front seat could collapse on children sitting in the rear seat.
Injured in a Bicycle Accident: Most Oklahoma kids are injured in bicycle accidents near their homes and that were not their fault, many times caused by a distracted or drowsy driver, or a defective bike helmet.
Falling Furniture and Appliances, or Flat Screen TV Tip-Over Injuries: Many Oklahoma children are seriously injured or killed when a heavy flat-screen TV, or other household appliance tips over or falls on them. Manufacturer design, or faulty professional installation is many times to blame.
Injured by Defective Child Product or Defective Baby Product: Any product designed and marketed to be used by children should be safe. Far too many Oklahoma kids are injured or killed each year by defective and dangerous children's products or baby products, including: toys, playground equipment, cribs, strollers, car seats, window blinds, and many more.
Child & Infant Medical Malpractice: You would be surprised to learn that each year there are many, many cases of Medical Malpractice involving children and infants here in Oklahoma. Children are especially vulnerable to medication mistakes, surgical errors, misdiagnosis, hospital infections, and other forms of negligence at the hands of Oklahoma doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals.
Dog Bite Injuries: Far too many Oklahoma children are seriously injured when they are attacked by a neighbor's dog. Oklahoma dog owners are responsible for the actions of the dogs, even if the dog somehow escapes a fenced or gated barrier. Some dog breeds, such as Pit Bulls are especially dangerous, and their bites can be deadly for any Oklahoma child, regardless of age.
Bicycle Accidents: Oklahoma drivers are responsible for hundreds of serious injuries and the deaths of many Oklahoma children who are simply riding their bicycle. Many times excessive speed, DUI, or distracted driving are to blame.
Gun Shot: Sadly, far too many Oklahoma children are seriously injured or killed each year by accidental gun shots, many occurring at a friend or neighbor's home where there was an unsecured hand-gun or rifle.
At Self and Associates we seek out and locate the child injury, and other personal injury experts necessary to best represent our Oklahoma child injury victims. With over 40 years of experience in handling personal injury, defective products injury, and wrongful death cases, James Self has the knowledge to assist you in navigating this complex area.
