Our children are safer in cars today.
Did you know that one reason our children are safer in cars today is because for many years lawyers have filed lawsuits against automobile manufacturers that forced them to make safer cars? We now have seatbelts, airbags (front and side), safety glass, and cars that don’t unexpectedly jump into reverse, to name a few, because of products liability lawyers who proved that manufacturers knew about defects in their cars and forced them to make the changes they knew would be safer but which would cost a few pennies per car.
Here is a link to a short video from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety about a collision between a 50 year old car and a new car. Riding in a car now is safer than it was 50 — or even 20 — years ago. Our children are luckier, and so are we.
