Child Safety Seat Study | Denver Car Accident Attorney

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:58:37 +0000

A study conducted by The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute examined and evaluated the hardware for installing child safety seats into close to a hundred different models of automobile, including watching volunteers install the seats. The main purpose of the study was to determine how easy or hard it is to install child safety seats in different vehicles. The study found that most people installed the seats incorrectly, whether because installation was difficult or from lack of knowledge of how to do it correctly. A rather startling finding was that less than half of the volunteers used the top tether, and less than half of those who used it, used it correctly. The trouble with this is that not using the top tether, or using it incorrectly, could lead to head and neck injuries in the event of an accident.

While any injury to a child in a car accident is a frightening and terrible thing, head and neck injuries are particularly frightening, because the effects can be extremely serious, and may last a lifetime. From traumatic brain injury to whiplash, any injury involving the brain or the spine can negatively impact a person for life. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 1300 children under the age of 14 were killed in traffic accidents in 2009, with nearly 180,000 injuries. One of the most important aspects in controlling those numbers is the correct use of child safety seats. A tip that the CDC gives, is to ensure that, as an adult, you use your seat belt every time you get in the car, so that your children see you practicing the good habit.

If your child has been injured in a car accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, speak with an experienced Denver car accident attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options. Obviously, your child’s health and safety is the most important thing at this time, so be sure to get him or her the very best possible medical attention immediately, and be sure to do all appropriate follow-up. It is a sad fact, however, that in some cases insurance companies may try to avoid their responsibility, and it may become necessary to seek legal assistance. Andrew Bubb is a dedicated Denver car accident attorney who can ensure that your financial well-being is taken care of while you ensure that your child’s health is secure.

The use of cell phones or any other electronic devices while driving cause devastating traffic accidents. These distractions cause the driver to take their eyes and their focus away from the road. According to 9 News, the National Transportation Board (NTSB) has proposed the statewide ban of cell phones and other portable electronics among drivers. They are campaigning the slogan “take the great hang up pledge” in order to promote their unanimous decision to ban all electronics while driving. This ban would include both hands free and hand held devices except in emergency situations. It is their goal that the ban would exceed all other state regulations and laws. This nationwide focus is due to the increasing numbers of traffic accidents caused by texting, phone calls, and other distractions seen in recent years.

Have you or a family member been injured in a vehicle accident due to the negligence of another? Contact a Colorado distracted driving accident lawyer to further discuss your options and legal rights.

People do not realize how dangerous using your cell phone while driving can be. The board has issued this ban as a response to a tragic multi-vehicle collision that occurred in Missouri last year involving texting while driving that killed two young people and injured thirty-eight additional people. Distracted driving caused this devastating accident and therefore it is the NTSB’s mission to reduce these distractions by enforcing this new ban throughout the country.

Around 2:30a.m. on Sunday morning, a SUV with the four teenagers inside missed a sharp turn on Twilight Drive near 26th Avenue and Kipling Street in Wheat Ridge. The missed turn caused the vehicle to become air borne before ending upside down in a tree. All four teenagers were wearing seat belts but the wreck proved too severe and the two passengers in the front seats were pronounced dead. The other two passengers were taken to local hospitals with severe injuries. The accident is still under investigation but it is suspected that speeding was a factor leading up to the accident.
