Some of the most heart breaking stories that I hear as an accident attorney are the ones involving children. A startling statistic is that more than 1,000 children under the age of 12 die each year in vehicle crashes in the U. S. more than 100,000 are injured. Parents, auto manufacturers and car seat makers are attempting to make cars safer for children.
One of the most significant advance is the development of 'Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH). LATCH has been in effect since 2002. A more recent development came in March of 2011 when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) updated its car seat guidelines. Two of the updates are keeping young children in rear facing car seats longer and keeping children in the backseat longer. As a parent I remember trying to figure out whether my children's car seats were secured safely. Parents still struggle with the restraint systems. Read the rest »
