Child Car Seat Defect

Child safety seats are supposed to restrain and protect our children in a motor vehicle crash. “Children on Board” are the most important occupants of any vehicle.

We depend on manufacturers and sellers of child car seats and child booster seats to provide our children with the most reliable restraint systems and safety equipment, for that equipment to work when needed. No compromises are permitted.

Unfortunately, some child restraints, safety seats, car seats, and booster seats are not properly designed or manufactured, and then fail when called upon in a collision. The results can be devastating. Injuries that can last a lifetime, alter a family’s course, and financially ruin the family.

There are many questions that must be asked when seeking to protect the child and family against the additional burdens and consequences that follow catastrophic child injuries:

  • Did any component or part of the child seat or booster seat fail?

  • Did the child seat does meet industry standards for safety?

  • Did the child seat meet minimal government standards?

  • Are there better alternative designs?

  • Was the child seat or booster seat compatible with the vehicle it was installed in?

  • To what extent, if any, was the child seat or booster seat marketed as being compatible with all vehicles?

  • Did the vehicle have the LATCH system, or was the LATCH system functional?

  • What role did the retailer/seller have in marketing the child seat or booster seat?

  • Did the retailer/seller salesperson make any [improper] representations about the child seat or booster seat?

Those manufacturers and retailers sellers who put profit over child safety, and make or sell defective or dangerous child safety seats or booster seats, should be held accountable.

Defective Child Care Seat Lawsuit

Holding the manufacturer or seller accountable defective child car seat, defective child safety seat, or defective booster seat which resulted in serious injury or death is an important step in preventing other parents from having to suffer through such painful experiences.

A product liability lawsuit can also encourage a manufacturer or seller to improve the design or manufacturing process to eliminate defects from their future products.  Of course, a product liability lawsuit is also an important means to secure financial stability in the face of mounting medical bills, rehabilitation bills, therapies, and other interventions for your injured child.

If your child has been injured by defective child safety seat, child booster seat, or car seat, then contact a personal injury attorney at our firm.

In some child car seat defect claims, we may co-counsel, or jointly prosecute your serious personal injury claim or wrongful death claim with a another injury lawyer whom we know and trust.
