Car Accidents Involving Children
Any time serious injuries result from a car accident, it is tragic, but when the injuries are inflicted on children, it is catastrophic. If your child has been in a motor vehicle accident, get the appropriate medical help, and then contact a team of experienced lawyers who are dedicated to your legal needs.
"I have four kids of my own, so I understand the love that parents have for their children, and I know what a tragedy it would be if one of them was hurt or killed in a car accident. I will fight for your right to full and fair compensation from the responsible driver and the insurance company. Don't be a victim twice by accepting less than the full value of your case. Call me." ∙ Attorney Peyton Murphy ∙ Contact Murphy Law Firm

Child-Seat Laws in Louisiana
One of the most important things you can do to prevent injuries to children in auto accidents is to follow Louisiana's child safety belt laws. In particular, RS 32:295 requires child restraint systems for all children age six and under and weighing 60 pounds or less. There are basically three ways that a child needs to be protected while riding in a car, depending on the child's age or weight:
- Rear-facing restraints — for children less than one year old or less than 20 lbs.
- Front-facing restraints — for children between one and four years old or weighing between 20 and 40 lbs.
- Front-facing booster seats — for children between four and six years old, or between 40 and 60 lbs.
