Child Passenger Safety and Crash Risks in Massachusetts
Crashes involving children can have serious and lasting consequences, even at lower speeds. In Massachusetts, state law requires children to be properly restrained in car seats or booster seats appropriate for their size and age. However, the force of a collision can still cause significant injuries, particularly in side-impact or head-on crashes.
Main St in Worcester is a busy urban thoroughfare with both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Factors like congestion, distracted driving, and sudden stops can all contribute to accidents in this area. When children are injured, the emotional toll on families can be just as severe as the physical harm.
Families affected by accidents involving minors may be entitled to pursue compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and emotional distress if another party’s negligence contributed to the crash. Early medical evaluation and documentation of injuries are crucial steps in protecting both the child’s health and the family’s legal rights.
