The Importance of Car Seat Safety To Prevent Injuries

Being a new parent is amazing. You ďŹ nd yourself dealing with completely new things, but you are enjoying every bit of it. However, one thing keeps causing you problems, and that is driving with your kid in the back seat. There are many rules and regulations about transporting infants in the back seat.

Did you know that having a car seat can save your child’s life? Also, it is mandatory by law in almost all states, and not having one could put your child in danger, as well as get you a few tickets. Here is the importance of having a car seat and how it can save your child’s life.

Car Crashes Are Common Car accidents are responsible for causing many injuries to people all over the world on a daily basis. They are the number one cause of death. Car accidents could happen for several dierent reasons:

Distracted Driving

Driving While Intoxicated

Road Rage

Speeding

Car crashes are very dangerous for children, especially because of their bodies which are not yet fully developed.

Children rely on their parents to protect them, and having a car seat is one of the ways of protecting your child in case of an accident.

If you are caught in an accident and the car seat saved your child from getting injured, you should still contact a car crash attorney in Los Angeles Howard C. Kornberg. Call him to schedule your free initial consultation and learn how you can obtain compensation for all the damages that you received.

Common Errors Many car seats (even the most expensive ones) are difficult to install or to deal with. Some are way too big for your car or are hard to work with. However, there are some mistakes that a lot of parents make. You should always check for the following before purchasing a car seat (or right after purchasing it):

Does the car seat fit?

Is it positioned properly?

Does it provide your child with enough protection?

Can your child fall out of the seat?

Can the car seat be securely fastened, without it moving all over the back of the car??

Can it be properly installed and attached to its base?

Does it have fully functional car seat buckles?

Many parents use car seats incorrectly. Some do not use them at all. They are mandatory if you are transporting your child, and every parent should use them. Yes, they may cost a bit more money, but can you put a price on your child’s life? Of course not.

For that reason, you should always secure your child in the back seat and drive carefully and responsibly. An accident could cause a wrongful death, so be sure to consult with attorney Howard C. Kornberg if your loved one passed away recently as a result of an accident.
