Overview
Car-seat defects are classified under mishaps caused due to faulty products. Such products may not have been designed with proper care and adherence to statutes, and so contribute to enhancing the deleterious effects of an accident or a mishap. Similarly, even though booster seats are designed for the safety of children, even they may inflict severe injuries on the users. If children sustain injuries due to the faulty design of the booster seats, the parents can claim compensation for faulty design and violation of safety norms.
Common injuries associated with faulty car seats
Fatal accidents, brain injuries, back injuries, and many conditions that leave the patient immobilized for many years may be attributed to faulty car seats. Similarly, faulty seat design can also cause permanent backaches and sprains.
Who may be held responsible for faulty car seats?
The manufacturers of the product may be sued for creating a faulty product. Seats and booster seats for kids have to be installed in the vehicle according to the safety norms prescribed by the state and the authorities concerned. In case these are not installed properly, the parents may be held responsible for not adhering to the safety norms of the state. On the other hand, if the accident was aggravated by the lack of quality of the product, then the manufacturer of the product may be sued for damages.
