    Child Car Accident Injuries: 3 Things To Know

    Car accidents are traumatic experiences for adults. But they’re scarier when a child is involved. As a driver, you may try to stay safe and be careful on the road as much as possible. But the same cannot be said of other drivers. Their negligence or carelessness can cause accidents that may injure you and your child. 

    While every parent may want to keep their child out of danger, a child’s well-being can quickly spin out of control in a car accident. Like adults, a car crash can affect your child physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

    Naturally, children are more likely to suffer severe injuries or even die in car accidents if they’re not restrained correctly. If your child suffers car accident injuries after a crash, here are five things you need to know:

    1. Immediate Medical Care After Accident Is Critical

    Getting your child to the hospital immediately after an accident is essential to saving their lives. Whether a crash is severe or not, you need to get medical treatment as soon as possible. This is not just for the child’s safety; it also ensures that you get the necessary documentation to file an insurance compensation claim. 

    Before taking the child to the hospital, consider the severity of the crash. Doing this enables you to determine whether you need to make a trip to the emergency room or a pediatrician. If your child has sustained severe injuries or has become unconscious following a car crash, taking them to the emergency room would be most appropriate. 

    If you had taken the necessary safety precautions, there is a high chance your child would sustain minor injuries. Need more details to help you keep your child safe when traveling? Learn more here. 

    For accidents that result in minor injuries, taking the child to a pediatrician would be worthwhile. If you can’t secure a last-minute appointment with a pediatrician, consider taking the kid to an urgent care clinic. Such clinics allow your child to get the medical care they need quickly without making a trip to the emergency room.

    As a parent, you also need to ensure you receive medical attention. Although it’s natural to prioritize your child’s well-being, you may have sustained some injuries that require urgent treatment as well.

    • Signs Of Injury In Children

    After getting medical treatment for your child following a car crash, you need to monitor the recovery process to ensure they recover fully. Monitoring your child’s progress after a car crash means looking for specific symptoms. 

    If your child has vision problems, loses consciousness, cries excessively, lacks appetite, has trouble sleeping, or experiences restlessness, it could mean that he or she is still suffering from an injury or discomfort. Other symptoms to look for include:

    • Abnormal breathing
    • Irregular bowels
    • Bleeding from mouth, nose, or ears
    • Slurred speech
    • Lack of strength. 

    If you notice two or more of these signs, you need to take your child back to a medical professional right away. 

    • File A Compensation Claim For Your Child

    Another thing you need to know about child car accident injury is that you can file a compensation claim on your child’s behalf. 

    If your child suffers physical and emotional trauma following an automobile crash resulting from negligence by another driver, you have a legal right to file a compensation claim. Hiring a car accident attorney experienced in handling claims for minor car accident victims and their parents is the immediate step towards getting a fair settlement for your child. 

    A car injury lawyer can help you compute a comprehensive claim that covers treatment for the physical injuries and mental trauma suffered by your child. The claim should also cover the effects of the trauma or damages caused to the child in the long run. 

    In Summary

    Even though you can drive carefully and safely, you cannot control other motorists on the road. Other drivers’ negligence and unforeseen circumstances can cause an accident on the road in just a blink of an eye. If you have a child on board and a reckless driver ends up causing an accident that injures the child, the experience can be terrifying. 

    Besides feeling angry, you may be staring at a rising medical bill due to the injuries sustained by your child. In such cases, you should know how to handle the situation. If your child gets injured in a car crash, seek immediate medical attention to prevent further damage.

    As a parent, acquaint yourself with the signs that injured children exhibit and know that you have a legal right to file a compensation claim on behalf of your child.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
