How Can You Protect Your Children In A Kansas Car Accident?

Every day, about 700 are injured in American motor vehicle accidents. Many of these injuries can be prevented with advance planning. Our accident lawyers in Overland Park, KS suggest five things you can do to help protect your children if you are ever involved in a Kansas car accident.

1. Make sure your child is in the appropriately-sized car seat. Learn about car seats in our article, "Preventing Kansas City Car Crash Injuries Part 1: NHTSA Releases New Car Seat Guidelines". Always use the car seat, even if it is just a quick trip to the corner store.

2. Make sure your car seat is correctly installed. The police department in Overland Park offers free child safety seat checks on the first Wednesday of every month. You must make an appointment ahead of time. Other places that offer seat checks include fore departments and hospitals.

3. Children who have outgrown their car seat but are less than 4 feet 9 inches should use a booster seat. If your child is begging to use an adult seat belt, say "No". Read our article. "Kansas City Parents, Is Your Child Really Ready For An Adult Seat Belt?" to learn more.

4. Require that older children always use a seatbelt.

5. Don't allow children less than 13 years of age to ride in the front seat.

No one plans to be in a car accident. It may be annoying to listen to children complain about car seats and booster seats and seat belts; you may feel mean because Tommy's mom doesn't make him buckle up; it may be inconvenient to wrestle your toddler into his strap; but, you don't want your children hurt in an Overland Park traffic accident. Please, follow these steps to keep your children safe.

Our accident lawyers in Overland Park, KS offer a "No Fee For Kids" program for children 12 and under who have been injured in an auto accident in Kansas. To learn more, or to discuss your child's Overland Park accident claim, contact Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys at 888-348-2616.
