What are some common child safety hazards in cars?

With respect to automobile safety, there are particular hazards that apply to children. They have to be restrained. Many times there are defective seat belts that upon impact release and the child is ejected from the vehicle. Or they are sitting in a child safety seat, that's inadequately designed or a manufacturing flaw, that will allow the child to be ejected from the vehicle. Once a child is ejected from a vehicle, the seriousness of the injuries increase dramatically because the child does not have the safety of being contained within the vehicle itself. These injures many times devastating. If they don't cause death they can cause spinal cord injury, brain injury or paralysis. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families, in Massachusetts, for over three decades.

Are child safety seat defects common?

Over the last decade or so there have been tremendous advances in the design of child seats. They are much safer today than they were two decades ago. But, still every once in a while, we come across one that is fully designed or is defective and it allows the child to be in the vehicle basically unrestrained and many times ejected with serious consequences.

What should I do if my child has been hurt by a defective toy?

As a parent of a child who’s been injured by a product or a defective toy, after seeking medical treatment for the child, the most important big thing they can do is preserve the product or the toy in the condition it was in at the time the child suffered his or her injury. Preserve the box and the instructions and bring it to a lawyer who has experience handling product liability cases. I’m attorney Tom Kiley.

What are the potential impacts of a child's exposure to lead?

A child who is exposed to lead, especially during the formative years, can sustain brain damage, um, learning disabilities or even death depending upon the concentration of lead in their bodies and in their bloodstreams. It's very dangerous. Therefore, when it shows up in toys, it's virtually mind-boggling that, in this day and age, corporations would be so careless that they wouldn't exercise care in assuring that these toxic poisonous substances are not in our toys and hurting our children. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Why do you advocate for children who've been injured?

As an attorney and a child safety advocate, I believe it’s my role not only to provide compensation for an individual child, an individual family that’s suffered injury as the result of a defective toy or product, but also to send the message to the industry, that they can’t get away with it. If they put profits before safety, they’re going to be held accountable, and they’re going to have to change the way they do business so this doesn’t happen to the next child. I’m attorney Tom Kylee [SP]. I’ve been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

How common are injuries from children's toys?

In 2006 there were approximately 220,000 child injuries as a result of defective products that are sold in this country. They range from defective toys that present strangulation, or choking hazards to defective bicycles, ATVs, scooters, child seats, playpens just about anything you can imagine your child comes in contact with. What happens is these corporations that make these products put profit before safety. They don't care about our children. We trust them to make products that are safe and will not harm our children, and they don't follow thorough on the responsibility.
