More details to this question:
On August 18, 2025 my daughter was swinging at a local park when the swing broke out from under her. She then went flying back 4 - 5 feet which resulted in 3 broken fingers in 4 places. She had to have surgery to put pins in her finger. She must have a second surgery to remove the pins in another 2 - 3 weeks.

Yes, your child has a claim against the city owned park. Hopefully you took pictures to prove the case. Consult with counsel in your state to represent you. Any settlement recovery would be placed into a structured annuity to be paid to your child when she reaches the age of 18. Act quickly because time limits for filing a claim against the government are very short. If you need help finding counsel in your state, one of us on this platform could assist you with that. Good luck.
