Bouncing Toward Justice

At the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc., we're proud to be the primary vehicle accident lawyer for L.A. residents who have suffered injuries due to a car collision that was caused by another driver's negligence. However, we've seen a number of injuries due to situations that are far more diverse than simply auto issues. That's why safety and caution are always on  our mind - particularly in the summer months, when kids are home from school, and everyone is trying to spend as much time as possible outdoors.

The skilled and dedicated attorneys at our personal injury law firm want to remind you to stay safe this summer, whether you're at the grill, in the pool, or bouncing on a trampoline. A new study reported on in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics actually found that trampoline injuries caused more than one million ER visits to U.S. hospitals from 2002 to 2011. Perhaps most upsetting, nearly 289,000 of those injured were children.

Of course, as anybody who has suffered a serious injury is well aware, the physical pain of the incident is only part of the issue, as costs can quickly add up after a hospital visit. In fact, from trampoline incidents alone, emergency department costs added up to over $1 billion!

Trampolines can be fun for sure, but when getting exercise bouncing in the backyard, make sure to exercise caution as well. In the even that an injury does occur, know that Cameron Yadidi Brock and his personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc.are always on your side.
