Our auto accident attorneys in Atlanta would do anything to keep our children safe, and we know that you feel the same way about your kids. While you can't control the actions of other drivers and some Atlanta car accident injuries may be unavoidable, please consider taking the following steps to keep your children safe in the car.

First, insist on proper car seats for all ages. Whether your child is an infant or a preteen, it is important to know how to keep them safe in the car. For more information about car seat laws in Georgia, please read our free report: Our Most Precious Cargo: A Special Report on Georgia Child Safety Seat Laws.

Next, make sure there are no distractions. Remember the days well before cell phones, when your mom or dad would threaten to pull the car over because you or your siblings were misbehaving? As a parent, you know that was not an idle threat. Tantrums, arguments and other loud behaviors can be very distracting for a driver and should be controlled in a car. Of course, cell phones and other "modern day" distractions should also be avoided.

Finally, know when to get help. If your child has been involved in an Atlanta car accident, lawyers may be able to help you assess the situation and protect your child's rights.
