Children in Vehicle Crashes – Injury Awareness
Even in relatively minor crashes, children and older adults are at higher risk for injury due to their physical vulnerability. Superficial wounds in juveniles, while often appearing mild, can still warrant thorough medical evaluation to rule out hidden trauma or psychological distress.
In 2024, Iowa reported that nearly 18% of crash victims under the age of 18 were involved in collisions occurring on urban streets like East 3rd St in Davenport. These incidents often happen in busy corridors where visibility, distractions, and speed changes come into play.
Proper restraint use, including age-appropriate car seats and seatbelts, significantly reduces the severity of injuries in children. After any crash involving minors, it is recommended that parents or guardians seek prompt medical advice—even if no immediate symptoms appear.
If your child or a loved one has been hurt in a car accident, you may be entitled to support and guidance through medical and legal channels.
