Violating Vehicle Code 27360 may cause a car accident with injuries – either to a child or another party. If you file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver (because of such injuries), the driver may be found negligent. California law defines negligence as the failure to use reasonable care to prevent harm to oneself or to others. Regarding auto accidents, negligent drivers are at fault for the accident and may also have to pay for any damages caused. Proving negligence in a personal injury case can sometimes be difficult. Though, in California, a driver is considered negligent per se if they violate a statute.
