Child Passenger Safety and Vehicle Accidents in Pennsylvania
Vehicle accidents involving young children, especially infants, highlight the importance of swift, comprehensive evaluations. Infants, due to their age and fragility, require specific attention in post-collision scenarios to rule out any hidden injuries. Pennsylvania law mandates the use of approved car seats and restraints for children under eight to mitigate the risk of injury, but evaluations post-accident remain essential for their safety.
