Accidents can happen anywhere - even in your own driveway.
Busy parents and baby-sitters are often in such a rush to get to the next destination that they might not always pay attention to who is not in the car. Backover accident fatalities can happen to even the safest drivers and smartest kids.
Our Swanton, Ohio child accident lawyers urge parents to remember these tips to prevent fatal child backover accidents, from Injury Board magazine:
1. Always walk around a car prior to moving it so you know that no one is behind it.
2. Know where your kids are at all times.
3. Before leaving, have children stand in a visible place and wave "good-bye" to you, so you know that they are not behind your vehicle.
