Automobile requirements for child safety

Posted on Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 at 5:00 am    

Automobiles sold in the United States undergo a series of safety tests. These tests are designed to ensure that consumers are protected against a number of foreseeable dangers.

One of these dangers relates to the risk of child injury. While many automobile features are designed with adults in mind, many features like seat belts and chair height are not appropriate for small children. 

For this reason, parents are advised to use child safety seats and seat belt adjustments. These specially designed features have been tested to show that they can reduce the chances of serious injury in automobile accidents. 

If your child has been injured due to an automobile defect, contact the Madison child car safety lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874. 

Can parents access their children’s personal injury settlement funds?

Posted on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 at 7:12 am    

When a child wins a personal injury settlement, the child may not know what to do with the money. For this reason, many courts put the child's money in a blocked bank account, which can only be accessed once the child turns 18. 

The courts typically do not allow the child's parents to access part or all of the funds because they want to prevent parents from using the money to benefit themselves. However, parents may be able to access some of the funds if they can show that the funds will be used for the child's care or medical expenses. 

If you or anyone you know has questions about your child's personal injury settlement, contact the Madison personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.

What is an invidiual’s “duty” in a negligence case?

Posted on Monday, January 11th, 2010 at 5:04 am    

When lawyers refer to negligence cases, they often define "duty" as the obligation that each person has to protect and be aware of the safety of others. This definition plays a part in negligence cases because it helps set a standard for conduct. 

That standard is usually set at doing something a reasonable person would do in the same circumstances. While that standard may seem vague, it is often used as the standard for judging negligence cases.

Are life jackets required for boat passengers?

Posted on Monday, January 4th, 2010 at 5:25 am    

When individuals take boats out on lakes or the sea, they are often required to carry a life jacket. In most cases, however, the passengers are not required to wear the life vests at all times.

Instead, they are typically required to have a life vest on board the boat. These life vests serve a variety of purposes. But one of the most important roles is that they keep passengers from drowning in the case of a boat accident.
