The Mississippi Department of Transportation is warning everyone to buckle their seat belt. MDOT hosted its first safety fair in Jackson, MS. Children were taught how to escape from a fire by the use of a fire safety house. A crash dummy demonstrated how important seat belts are in rollover accidents. Instructions on how to install a car seat were also given. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury and death in small children.
Safety Programs Coordinator for MDOT, Cristy Milbourne, said "we are helping to show people how to keep their families safe. There are too many injuries and fatalities that are preventable. We lose too many children every year."
Each year there are a number of accidents involving infant and child safety seats. A number of them have been recalled by the Consumer Products Safety Commission. There are numerous defects in the design of the car seats. If you know of someone who was injured or killed when their baby came out of the car seat, call Mississippi Accident Lawyer Paul Snow to discuss your legal rights. You may have a case against the car seat manufacturer. Call now for your free confidential consultation, 601-969-1977 or contact us online.
