Waukesha Child Car Seat Injury Lawyer

Car seats are designed to protect children in the event of a crash, but when they fail due to defects or improper use, the consequences can be devastating. Children are at a higher risk of suffering serious injuries in car accidents, especially when car seats do not function as intended. If your child has been injured due to a defective car seat or someone else’s negligence, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

Common Causes of Child Car Seat Injuries

A properly functioning car seat should protect children in the event of an accident. However, when car seats are defective or improperly installed, children face an increased risk of severe injuries. Some common causes of child car seat injuries include:

  • Defective car seats, such as those with faulty buckles or weak straps
  • Improper installation, leading to reduced effectiveness in a crash
  • Recalled car seats, which may fail to meet safety standards
  • Vehicle defects, such as faulty seat belts that fail to secure the car seat
  • Car accidents caused by reckless or negligent drivers

If a defective car seat or another party’s negligence caused your child’s injuries, a skilled injury lawyer can help you gather medical records, police reports, and other critical evidence to strengthen your case.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Child Car Seat Injury Case?

When a child suffers injuries due to a faulty car seat or a preventable accident, multiple parties may be held accountable, including:

  • Car seat manufacturers, if the product had a design or manufacturing defect
  • Retailers and distributors, if they sold a recalled or defective car seat
  • Other drivers, if their negligence caused the crash
  • Car manufacturers, if vehicle defects contributed to the accident

Determining liability in child car seat injury cases can be complex. Our personal injury lawyers will investigate every detail of your case and pursue compensation from all liable parties.

Seeking Compensation for Child Car Seat Injuries

A child’s injuries can result in significant financial and emotional hardship for parents. If your child has been injured due to a car seat defect or a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical attention and ongoing care
  • Lost wages if a parent must take time off work to care for the child
  • Other losses, such as pain and suffering
  • Wrongful death damages if a child tragically loses their life

At our law firm, we understand that no amount of compensation can undo the suffering caused by a serious accident. However, holding the responsible parties accountable can help protect other children from similar harm.
