Representing Clients from California, Nevada or Arizona in Child Car Seat Safety Defects Cases
Child Restraint Defects ∙ Car Seat Defects ∙ Booster Defects
Vehicle restraint and protection devices are designed for an average sized adult. Therefore, children who are not in an appropriate child car seat, booster seat or other specific child restraint device are not protected by the vehicle's restraint systems should an accident occur. Therefore, California laws mandate that all children who weigh less than 60 pounds or are under the age of six must be secured in a booster seat or other child passenger restraint.
If the restraint system works properly, your child may be spared injuries following a collision or rollover accident. If it doesn't work, however, your child can suffer serious injuries and even wrongful death.
Contact the Brandi Law Firm for Experienced Advocacy.
At the Brandi Law Firm, we pursue legal proceedings against negligent auto manufacturers and car seat manufacturers. While we recognize that a lawsuit will not reverse the injuries or bring a child back, successful litigation can provide much needed compensation as well as make cars (and child restraint devices) safer in the future.
Car manufacturers are now required to include the LATCH child seat-tethering system consisting of two lower anchors and an upper anchor. Children are safest when properly restrained in the back seat in a removable car seat, booster seat, or infant car seat. It is important to take such precautions when placing your child in the car to avoid serious injuries. Although California laws use six years or 60 pounds as a factor for child safety seats or booster seats, it is important the remember that children develop at different speeds. Children who are less than 60 pounds will likely not be protected without a booster seat.
When parents follow the precautions advised by law and by car seat manufacturers, yet a child still suffers catastrophic injuries in an accident, child restraint defects may be to blame.
The Brandi Law Firm has a team of attorneys, investigators, engineers, doctors and nurses available for child car safety injury cases. We meticulously analyze child restraint defects, the extent of the child's injuries and the impact the injury will have on the child's and the family's life.
