Child Passenger Safety Week
Auto accidents are the leading cause of death for children
ages one to 13. While car accidents
themselves cannot always be avoided, fatal injury to children often can – if car
seats are installed and used properly.
September 14th marks the start of Child Passenger
Safety Week, a campaign designed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
to bring awareness to the need for proper car seat use. Many fire and police stations
will be hosting events this week to help parents properly install seats and
better understand how to use them effectively. If you are uncertain about how
well your child’s car seat is installed, taking a few moments this week to seek
help may very well save his or her life.
It is important to remember that car seats, seatbelts, and
airbags are intended to reduce injury in auto accidents, but they cannot always
prevent injury from occurring. If you have been injured or a loved one has been
killed in an auto accident, the experienced attorneys at The Cochran Firm are
here to take your case and fight for your rights, helping you secure the full
compensation you are due.
To schedule your free consultation with one of our auto
accident attorneys, please contact The Cochran
Firm today. We maintain offices throughout the United States to better
serve victims of serious injury in all areas of the country.
