If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, contact Mike Agruss Law for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

Children are much more susceptible to the risks that car accidents pose to passengers. They are smaller and weaker so their injuries would likely be more severe. They can suffer the same injuries, though, in a car accident as an adult would. The Department of Transportation reported than in 2010, head injuries were the most common trauma sustained by children in car crashes. This can be especially troubling given the complications that can result after such an accident, such as a coma or skull fractures. Other injuries may include broken bones, concussions, traumatic brain injury, neck or back injuries, spinal cord injuries, and in the most unthinkable cases, children may die from an accident.

Not only do the impact injuries pose a risk to children, but the effects of the car are much more dangerous to them than an adult. The airbags can detonate and cause a force excessively powerful for a child’s body. They can break their noses, suffer facial injuries, and even break their necks. All parents should also have their small children strapped into car seats for their safety. When they are not used or inadequately secured, the effects can be much more dangerous and deadly. Children can also be psychologically scarred at a young age much more easily than an adult, and it may cause post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. This is why it is important to drive as safe as possible with as many safety precautions in place in the event of an accident.
