Waco Defective Child Car Seat Lawyers

Whether it is a quick trip to the grocery store or a longer trip to see family, you want all of the passengers in your car to be safe. This is especially true for young children who can be seriously injured, even in minor accidents. State law mandates the use of children’s car seats for children who have not met certain thresholds for height and age. In Texas, these minimums are 4’9” and 8 years old, respectively. When car seats fail to function properly due to defective design or manufacture, these safety devices can severely harm the children whom they are intended to protect.

If your child has suffered undue harm in a motor vehicle accident as a consequence of a failed safety seat, it may be appropriate to seek financial compensation through a civil lawsuit.

Common Child Car Seat Defects

Child car seats have been the subject of many recalls because of defective parts. Sometimes the problems which prompt the recall are associated with all similar seats, and in other cases there are only a few flawed seats produced. Regardless, if a child car seat is defective, it can cause serious injury to a young passenger. The following defects have been found on child car seats:

  • Defective restraints and straps
  • Defective connections to the normal car seat
  • Ineffective padding to protect an occupant
  • Flammable materials used as padding
