Rhinelander Defective Child Car Seat Attorneys
Parents have a responsibility to protect their children from the dangers of the road, providing them with the proper safety devices during travel. As young children should not be left alone, parents may decide to take their children with them in the car during daily errands. On the other hand, children may rarely ride along in the car, as some parents prefer to keep their car trips limited. Either way, parents turn to car seat manufacturers for functional, safe restraints to keep their children protected in case of a collision.

Injuries from Defective Child Car Seats
Car seats are designed to fit the different sizes of a young person’s body. As infants, the expectation for a car seat may include a full shell, harness, and any additional pieces that contribute to the protection of the vulnerable child. As they grow older, children may still need booster seats to use seat belts, and these devices need to be safely attached to the vehicle’s seat. If a child car seat malfunction should occur, the following injuries may be sustained:
- Bone fractures or bending
- Injuries to the brain
- Internal injuries
- Scarring
- Emotional or psychological damages
These safety issues are not necessarily something a parent can plan for. Without a safety recall or an obvious problem while installing the car seat, it would be unreasonable to expect that a parent could detect a defect before a collision.

If your child has been injured in a traffic incident that could have been avoided if a car seat buckle had not snapped, a shell had not crack, or a harness had not broken, you should discuss your legal options with an attorney. You may be eligible to receive compensation from the negligent manufacturer.
