People have been cautious of children at play for quite some time now. It is the definitive car commercial displaying a car with the safety features to brake sharply or avoid a child dashing across the street. However, a more serious problem over the past couple years has been backing over children who are in blind spots.
Nearly 100 Children were killed and 2,000 injured in 2007 when they were backed over, mostly on residential driveways the National Highway Traffic Safety Council reported.
The report found that 221 people were killed and 14,000 were injured by backing vehicles. Ninety-nine of the deaths and 2,000 injuries were children under 14 years old.
Legislation sponsored by former New York Senator Hilary Clinton will require vehicles to offer additional mirrors, sensor devises and cameras to help reduce blind spots with the intention of reducing the number of these tragic accidents.
Wilshire Law Firm suggests seeking legal council for any back over accident becasue it is almost always the drivers fault for more information call Bobby Saadian (800) 649-998
