Car Seat Protection – Protecting Your Child in Orange County

At Aitken Law, we understand the trust parents in Orange County place in child car seats to protect their children during accidents. These seats are meant to safeguard your precious cargo, but when manufacturers fail due to poor design, defective construction, or production errors, families suffer. If your child is injured due to a faulty car seat, you may have a claim against the manufacturer. Contact Aitken Law’s experienced car accident attorneys immediately to explore your legal options.

Outgrowing Car Seats Safely

Children outgrow car seats quickly, with height being more critical than weight. Consumer Reports found that 16 of 30 infant seats (30-35 lb limit) failed to prevent head injuries in taller one-year-olds due to sliding on impact. Switching to a convertible rear-facing seat after age one reduced this risk, with only 1 of 25 tests showing head injuries. Aitken Law advises proper use and offers support if a faulty seat causes injury, potentially entitling you to compensation if no negligence is involved.

Backover Accident – Alarming Statistics and Causes

Aitken Law in Orange County is concerned by kidsandcars.org’s report of 50 children weekly backed over in U.S. car crashes. These accidents often occur when drivers unknowingly reverse over children playing quietly in parking lots or driveways. The NHTSA highlights that such incidents, along with rollaway and parking lot accidents, cause 1,500 deaths and 90,000 injuries yearly, with injuries like head trauma, spinal damage, crushing injuries, and fractures. In residential areas, blind spots and haste amplify the tragedy when the child is known to the driver.

Prevention and Legal Support

The NHTSA advises teaching children to avoid car areas, keep toys out of driveways, and check vehicles before reversing. Drivers should ensure visibility, use mirrors for unpredictable child movements, and be cautious with large vehicles’ blind spots. Aitken Law urges Orange County families to follow these safety tips and contact us for justice if a backover incident occurs.

How We Protect Your Child’s Future

Children’s injury cases require a nuanced approach because they involve:

• Long-term medical care and therapy needs
• Emotional and developmental support
• Special education and accommodation services
• Guardianship and settlement structuring to ensure compensation is properly managed

We advocate fiercely for compensation that covers current and future medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of quality of life.
