Buying a child safety seat for your child to travel in when he or she is in your car is a good way to help keep your child safe under normal driving conditions. Since children are too small to safely fit in regular seats and seat belts, they need these specialized seats for all car rides. While every child car seat that hits the market must first undergo governmental testing to ensure that it is a safe product, not every car seat is tested when it comes off of the assembly line. As such, there may be some instances in which seats with manufacturing defects are allowed to be sold. Since these defective seats are isolated, parents have no way of knowing whether the particular seats that they buy for their children are safe to use. Unfortunately, the only way to find out in many cases is for the child to suffer an injury. Children may suffer injuries in child safety seats when the seats have: • Too little padding • Defective latches • Defective restraints Children can suffer a number of injuries, including internal injuries, contusions, and lacerations. In the event of an auto accident, a fault seat may even cause a child to lose his or her life. Since child car seats play such an integral role in your child’s safety, it is important to hold accountable the seat’s manufacturer when the seat fails and injures your child. This can usually be achieved through a personal injury lawsuit with the assistance of a personal injury lawyer. If your child suffered injuries while using a defective child safety seat, you owe it to him or her to fight for financial compensation.
