Legal Theories & Liability Grounds
Depending on the evidence, child gate injury claims may be evaluated under product-liability frameworks such as:

- Failure to warn: allegations involving inadequate warnings or instructions about installation and entrapment risk (case-specific).
- Negligence: allegations involving reasonable care in design, testing, compliance, and safety labeling (case-specific).
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Deadlines for filing product liability and injury claims vary by state and can depend on when an injury occurred and when the connection to the product was reasonably discoverable. Preserving documentation early is often important, particularly in serious injury cases.
