Tennessee Automobile Accident Attorney Reports On The Tragic Death Of A Four-Month-Old Child
Tennessee Child Fatality Accident
As an experienced Tennessee auto accident lawyer I regularly write about child safety. The main topics are usually safety seats and school zone safety. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 3 to 14. Every day during 2007 in the United States an average of five children age 14 and younger were killed and another 548 injured in such accidents.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which studies all manner of highway safety issues says that using child safety seats reduces the risk of fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and by 54 percent for toddlers in passenger cars. Placing children in age- and size-appropriate car seats and booster seats also reduces serious injuries by more than half.
Reference an accident reported in numerous local East Tennessee media outlets about the tragic death of a four-month-old infant. The little baby was properly restrained as her mother attempted to turn left into across traffic into a business and was t-boned by an oncoming vehicle. My prayers go out to the family and friends of this child.
