A car seat used in the correct way can reduce the chances of injury or death by 70%. Parents are usually overwhelmed when it comes to the many choices of car seats for their child. A Car Seat Safety Specialist says the first step is knowing your child’s exact height and weight, then getting a car seat with the highest limits. “It’s important to choose the seat that is going to allow you to keep your child in the right stage for a longer period of time,” they said. “You want a seat that allows your child to stay rear-facing as long as possible, and that will keep them in harness straps when forward-facing for as long as possible.” Parents are often worried about when to convert their rear-facing car seat into forward-facing. Many parents disagree on what age their child should be. “Parents try to rush from stage to stage, but your child is safer rear-facing than forward-facing, and they’re safer in a harness than in a booster.” Safety regulations say a child must be harnesses until they reach 40lbs, then ride in a booster until they reach a certain height or are nine years old, according to news reports.

Dog bite injuries are both traumatizing and expensive, costing Americans more than $1 billion in monetary losses annually, say news sources. Fortunately, there are things that you can do to help prevent a dog bite or attack.

While out and about carry a can of bear pepper spray, which is twice as strong and shoots further than regular pepper spray, to help ward off an attack from a loose dog. Twenty percent of reported dog attacks were from dogs that were either chained or broke free from a chain. If you do see a loose dog roaming around, contact local animal control.

If it’s not possible to avoid the attack, it’s good to be prepared ahead of time by making sure you have medical insurance. About 800,000 dog attack injuries require medical attention annually, and dog bites are the fifth highest cause of emergency room visits by children.

As a Charleston personal injury lawyer, I know how important it is for an injured person to be able to seek and receive compensation after suffering the trauma of a dog attack.
