Fortunately for parents, there are steps that you can take to make sure that your child is as safe as possible when walking to and from school. Some of the things that parents can do to minimize the risk of their child being involved in an accident while walking to school include:
- Require that their child walk with a friend
- Pick a route that avoids busy intersections
- Tell your children not to run or play on their way to school
- Dress your children in brightly colored or retro-reflective clothing to increase their visibility
- Make sure that your children know to look left, right, and then left again before crossing the street
- Make sure that there are crossing guards along your children’s route
- Advise your children to walk, and not run, when crossing the street
In the unfortunate event that your child is injured in a pedestrian accident, be sure to seek appropriate medical attention as soon as possible. After your child’s condition is stable, contact an experienced Charlotte personal injury lawyer to retain legal representation.
