Overview of Dangerous Car Seats (Part A)

If your child has been seriously injured in an accident involving a car seat, you may be eligible to file a product liability lawsuit. Although the leading cause of unintentional deaths in children ages 14 and under is car accidents, a defective child car seat may be the actual cause of a child’s injuries.A Chicago product liability lawyer has experience with defective product cases, and can help you determine whether you have a valid case. A product liability lawsuit may be in order if your child’s car seat was defective, and the liable parties either underestimated or denied your initial product liability claim. A Chicago product liability lawyer can help you begin legal proceedings, and can gather evidence to show which parties may be liable for your child’s injuries.

Overview of Dangerous Child Car Seats

When a mother buckles her child into a car seat, she trusts that he will be kept safe. But a defect in the child car seat’s design or manufacturing can be dangerous.

Some common car seat defects that lead to child injury include:

 

  • defective latch system;
  • failure to meet safety requirements;
  • defective harness;
  • malfunction of the handles;
  • separation from the base;
  • sudden release;
  • flammable material; and
  • faulty construction.  

Injuries That Can Result from Dangerous Child Car SeatsSerious injuries that can result from dangerous car seats include: 

  • whiplash;
  • nerve damage;
  • head trauma;
  • broken bones;
  • skull fracture;
  • concussion; and
  • spinal cord injury. 

When the manufacturer, distributor, designer or retailer of a product plays a role in the creation of a defective product, they can be liable for damages in a product liability lawsuit. If your child has been injured by a defective child car seat, talk with a Chicago product liability lawyer about your rights to seek compensation on behalf of your child.
