Some summer activities pose special concerns. If you're thinking about buying a swimming pool or a trampoline, create rules about who can use it, how many people can be on it at one time, and who will supervise the children while they use it. Make sure that these rules are shared with all users and enforced. Dress your children in clothing appropriate for the weather and conditions. Always use seat belts or car seats and don't leave children unattended in your vehicle, especially on hot days.
Seat belts are the law.
A child injured in your vehicle may have a separate claim against you, the driver, if you are at fault. If you are boating, insure that the children are wearing appropriate life jackets and other water safety devises. If your child is injured, you can act on behalf of your child to sue others. If a child is injured in an automobile accident or hurt in some other manner, that child may have a legal claim against the person who caused the injury. If a child dies as a result of an injury, a claim on behalf of the child's estate may be brought.
