Hollywood Passenger Safety

Passenger safety laws in Florida require that children under the age of 3 be placed in a car seat. For children ages 4 and five, a seat belt or car seat may be used. The state has some of the lowest requirements for passenger safety and child safety seats in the United States. While car manufacturers do introduce new systems for passenger safety each year, car accidents in Hollywood and across Florida often do result in passenger injuries because too little is done to protect passengers in a crash.

Your free accident consultation with Flaxman Law Group is only a phone call away if you have questions.

In a car accident, passengers are likely to be injured in a crash. In certain types of car accidents, especially T-bone accidents, passengers are more likely than drivers to be injured due to the type of impact involved. There is simply less of a crumple zone available for passengers, especially those sitting in the rear of the car or beside the driver.

Depending on your situation, you may have several options. You may have a claim against the at fault driver in the accident. You may be able to negotiate with insurance carriers to get fair settlement for your injuries. There may also be other liable parties in your situation that you can pursue through a legal claim.

If your passenger safety has been compromised due to defective seatbelts, age-appropriate safety restraints, car seats, airbags, or other car safety systems, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer of your car or your car’s components. In these cases, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney in order to find out whether you have a case. An attorney can also help you launch a products liability claim in Hollywood or your community and can handle all the details for you as you recover.
