Keep Your Kids Safe While You Drive Car Seat Tips From an Accident Attorney
As a parent, keeping your kids safe is your No. 1 mission in life. You can’t protect them from everything, but there is one place where you have total control over their well-being: your car. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 608 kids under 12 died in car crashes in 2019, and over 91,000 were injured. A full 38% of them weren’t buckled. Most people know seat belts save lives, but knowing isn’t enough. You need to act on that knowledge! Many of the car crash victims we help in the KPL office would have been in much better shape if they had worn their seat belts. If your kids are too young for a regular seat belt, a properly installed car seat or booster seat will serve the same purpose. It’s really easy to get this step wrong — kids age out of booster seats ridiculously fast, and it can be tough to get all
of the belts and buckles cinched just right. But if you don’t have an age- or weight- appropriate seat, you could be putting your child at risk every time you drive. If you haven’t updated your child’s car seat recently, put down this newsletter and visit SafeKidsGeorgia.org/carseats right now. There, you’ll find tips on which seat to use for your child’s age (rear-facing or forward-facing … booster seat or seat belt) and how to find a child safety seat fitting location close to your home. If you can’t find someone to check your seat through the site, you can take your booster seat or car seat to a fire station. They will help you install it correctly! These tips will keep your kids safe on the road this winter and spring. If the worst happens and one of your children is injured in a collision, our team here at Kevin Patrick Law can help you file a claim on their behalf. We can even help if your child was injured years ago and you never received compensation for their pain and suffering! Here in Georgia, the two-year statute of limitations doesn’t start until age 18, so your kids are eligible until age 20. Justice is only a phone call away.
