Did Your Child Suffer an Injury at a Local Playground?
Playgrounds are meant to be fun. They are also among the most dangerous places for children. Swing sets, slides, monkey bars, and obstacle courses offer dozens of different ways for children to get seriously injured. True, getting hurt while playing hard may be part of childhood. But seeing your child injured because of unsafe equipment or negligence on the part of supervisors or other kids doesn’t come with the territory.
Morgantown Product Liability Attorneys
The Morgantown personal injury lawyer at the Robinette Legal Group has significant experience in all areas of child injury cases. As former insurance defense lawyers, we use our knowledge and understanding of premises liability and product liability law to represent families of children who have suffered serious injury or death because of negligence on the part of the property owner or equipment manufacturer.
There is often more than one party who can be held liable for playground injuries. The product manufacturer and installation company have a responsibility to ensure proper installation and upkeep. The property owner, often a municipal government, also shares responsibility for ensuring the safety of the children using the equipment. We seek monetary damages from every party determined to be liable for your child’s injuries.
We have experience representing clients in premises liability claims resulting in parking lot injuries, including:
- Falling accidents
- Defective design and unsafe equipment
- Assault, negligent security
- Inadequate supervision

Brain Injury
While timbering in WV, a heavy equipment operator sustained a permanent brain injury while performing the duties of his job. What price can you put on the loss of a fully functioning, fully reasoning brain? Jeff Robinette was able to negotiate a settlement that was annuitized to provide for this man for the rest of his life.
Crushed Foot Injury
While working in Morgantown, WV for a large national retailer, our client, a young woman in her early twenties, was ordered to use equipment that she was not properly trained to use. In the course of attempting to complete her task, she sustained a severe crush injury to her foot. Due to this incident, our client lost full use of this foot for the rest of her life and was living with chronic, persistent pain.
Our firm was able to obtain a sizable settlement which took care of all her medical bills and future treatment for her foot injury. The settlement was ample enough to allow this young woman to go back to college and retrain for employment which will accommodate her permanent disability.
Crushed Leg Injury
Imagine having your leg crushed so badly in an accident that you have to undergo two surgeries to insert multiple pins and have a rod hammered into the bone just to stabilize the femur. Unfortunately, the first rod inserted into the bone didn’t accomplish the desired effect, so the rod had to be removed and surgically reinserted. Imagine the great pain, the months of therapy and recovery, and the frustration of knowing you can never return to the type of work you have performed for decades.
Jeff Robinette was able to obtain a great enough settlement to pay this man’s medical bills in their entirety and money enough to start a new business so he could work and live a productive life even with his permanent impairment.
