Do the Child Safety Car Seat Laws Do Any Good?

Troopers from our Texas Department of Public Safety claim that most of us install our children's car seats incorrectly in our cars. The government offers periodic car seat safety checks by certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians to help you ensure that you've done all you can to keep your child safe inside your vehicle.

But sometimes when your child suffers injury or dies from a Galveston car accident, and your child was in his or her car seat at the time, you're NOT at fault in the matter. An unfortunate number of car seats come equipped with hidden manufacturing or design defects. These car seats, designed to enhance children's safety in cars in the event of collisions, might actually contribute to child injury instead. You can find a long list of recall notices on the NHTSA website.

But not all recall notices manage to reach those affected by the defects' dangers before those dangers actually take a toll on a child's life or health. You may be struggling with a child severely injured in a Galveston car collision. Your child was safely ensconced in a car seat at the time of the wreck, and the car seat seemed safely and securely installed into the car. You're wondering what went wrong as you try to cope with an injured child and the many expenses that a Galveston car accident injury brings in its wake. You know you're not at fault, but you don't know what to do or how you can prove who was at fault.
