Data from 2018 indicates that over 97,000 children were injured and 636 children under the age of 12 died in car accidents nationwide. Notably, one-third of the deceased were not secured in car seats or seat belts at the time of the accident.
Vehicle collisions are a leading cause of fatality among children in the U.S. By simply securing children in a car safety seat or booster seat, parents and caregivers can significantly lower the risks of death and injury.
California’s regulations on child car safety are clear:
In 2018, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated its child safety seat guidelines, advising that children should stay in rear-facing seats as long as possible for optimal safety. Once a child outgrows the limits set by the car seat manufacturer, they can switch to a forward-facing seat with a harness, suitable for children up to 65 pounds or more, allowing usage until the child is at least four years old.
Parents are encouraged to continue using car safety seats until their child outgrows the maximum height or weight limits or if a specific health condition prohibits its use.
Once a child surpasses the safety seat stage, booster seats are the next step, ensuring that the seat belt fits properly over the child’s lap and chest. This should continue until the seat belt can be positioned correctly without a booster.
Your immediate focus should be on your child’s health and emotional well-being following an accident. However, it’s also crucial to consider their legal rights. Your child is entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages sustained from the accident.
Once your child is stabilized, consult with an attorney to discuss initiating a personal injury claim on their behalf. Our team at HHJ Trial Attorneys is highly experienced in managing child injury cases and is ready to explore all potential damages and pursue comprehensive compensation to support your child’s recovery and future needs.
