Serving victims of defective child safety seats:
If your child or a child of a family member has been injured in a car accident and was using a safety seat, you will need very specialized legal guidance.
Child safety seat injuries
We trust child safety seats to keep our children safe in case of a crash. However, too often, the seat or vehicle is defective, putting our children at risk of being injured more than if they'd been without any child seat at all.
Common child safety seat failures
Of all the cases handled by our lawyers that involve dangerous and defective products, child safety seat failure cases are often the most tragic. Unfortunately, many vehicles are not properly equipped to handle child safety seats. However defective design or manufacture of child safety seats usually carries much of the blame.
Defects in the design and / or manufacture of child safety seats can pertain to buckles, harnesses, shell design, or padding within the seat. When any of these aspects fail during a collision, a child can be ejected from the seat and suffer serious injury.
A simple safety strap can greatly decrease the chance of injury because of child safety seat failure. The safety straps, or tethers, are features of some seat belts, and connect the top of the safety seat to the vehicle's rear panel. These tethers have been available for more than 30 years, but are still not required features of seat belts.
