When you think about your childhood, what comes to mind? Do you remember traveling in the car on family vacations, swimming with friends, and riding your bike through the neighborhood? Most people are fortunate to have fond memories. Few periods in life are as full of innocence, laughter, and bright dreams for the future. For an unlucky few however, an accidental injury to one of our kids can have a devastating impact on the family.

Data on children's injuries shows that 14 million children are unintentionally hurt each year. These serious injuries are most often caused by motor vehicle crashes, drownings, bike crashes, pedestrian incidents, falls, and other hazards. While most result in relatively minor cuts and bruises, some leave children permanently disfigured or impaired. Accidents that result in traumatic injuries can irreparably shatter the hopes and dreams of children and their families.

Connecticut children’s attorney Tony Sheffy is dedicated to rebuilding the dreams of children and their families affected by these serious accidents. He focuses on major children’s injuries and aggressively stands up for the rights of family members of all ages hurt in serious accidents.
