At the law firm of Stephen L. Goldner, we represent families in our home state of Georgia, the surrounding parts of the Southeast United States, and throughout the country in fatal accident cases involving child car seats. We have more than 30 years of experience. Over this time we have built a trusted reputation for standing up for the rights of people whose lives have been impacted by the negligence of others.

A Life-Changing Accident

We understand that losing a child is a traumatic and life-changing event. Nothing can truly compensate you and your family for this loss. If that loss was caused by the negligence of a business that has put their bottom line in front of the safety of children, we believe that they should be held responsible for their actions.

A History of Children's Product Recalls

There are seven major companies behind the majority of child car seats. They are Graco, Century, Cosco (Dorel), Evenflo, Fisher-Price, Kolcraft and Britax. In the last 10 years, these companies have recalled more than 11 million child seats due to safety concerns. Recently, Evenflo recalled 450,000 seats for handle failure. It was the eighth such recall for handle failures alone in the industry since 1998. Why are the same defects occurring again and again? It is because these companies are only obligated to follow the most minimal of safety standards. The only requirements the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) expects these companies to fulfill are related to outdated, slow-speed, head-on collision tests. These types of incidents only make up half of all car accidents. What testing is done to ensure safety in the other half of traffic accidents? Often, there is none. We consider this negligence. And when this negligence leads to a fatal car seat accident, we want to hold these companies accountable.
