Preventing the tragedy of running over your child | Child Accident Attorney Toledo, OH

Many of the injuries and deaths that happen in driveways or parking lots are preventable. Parents, caregivers, drivers, and kids can all help keep children out of the way of vehicles by:
o Before getting in and starting your engine walk all the way around your parked vehicle to check for children or anything that is under or behind your vehicle and can attract a child such as pets or toys
o Go with young children when they get in and out of a vehicle
o Help children identify and use safe play areas that are away from parked or moving vehicles. Also block your driveway so other cars can't enter and exit
o Choose a safe spot for the children to wait while the vehicle is moving that is also in the driver's line of vision
o Tightly hold the hand of each child when you are walking near a moving vehicle and also when you are in driveways, parking lots or on sidewalks
