Racine Defective Child Car Seat Attorneys
When a parent buckles their child into a car seat, the understanding is that the product will protect that child in the event of an emergency. However, with frequency of recalls associated with childcare products, the reliability of many important safety devices for children has come into question. If a child safety device such as a car seat should happen to be defective or malfunction in a moment of critical need, a child may suffer serious injuries as a direct consequence.
Contact the Racine defective child car seat attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, today at 800-242-2874 if your child has been injured because of a defective car seat or similar car safety device.
The Consequences of Malfunctions
Automobiles are not generally made with children in mind. As seats remain the same size, which is shaped for a fully grown adult, the responsibility of making a car ride safe for a child rests on the parents. As consumers, parents try their hardest to keep their children safe from dangerous products or products that may fail during extreme stress. The following injuries can be the result of a faulty car seat:
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Lacerations and substantial scar tissue
- Skull and brain damage
- Emotional damage
This can be the result of any number of problems that a manufacturer should have addressed while testing the safety and reliability of these devices. If a car seat is unable to buckle or important pieces snap under enough pressure, for example, the manufacturer may be determined to be legally liable for the harm that a child sustains.
