ACCIDENTS KILL OVER 12,000 KIDS YEARLY IN CHILD DEATHS FROM CAR CRASHES, FALLS, BURNS, AND DROWNING.
A new report from the World Heath Organization (WHO) has discovered striking new information about the role of accidents in children's death. In places like the US, 40% of all child deaths are due to accidents. More than 12,000 kids die accidentally in the US annually, more than from disease. Responsible for the fatalities are: traffic accidents (involving cars, buses, bicycles and other vehicles), drowning, poisoning, falls, dog bites and burns from fire. Defective or unsafe products like toys, pools, bottles, food and containers can attribute to deadly accidents as well. To learn more, please visit our website at www.alawpro.com.

In the US, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for children aged 15-19, while fatalities from drowning, fire, falls and poison are among the top 15 causes. In most cases, children die when they are vehicle passengers, but tragedy can also strike child driver, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Per the report's overseer, countries like the US do not do enough to prevent childhood accidents. Recommendations include (1) caveats on teen driver's licenses, (2) special car seats for children under 8, and (3) enforcement of seatbelt laws for teens. Here is a list of potential hazards for accidental death of children of all ages:
Car Crashes
Bus and Truck Accidents
Pedestrian and Bicycle Collisions
Drowning in tub, pool or hot tub
Poisoning from food, formula or toys
Suffocation from toys or bedding
Dog bites (especially to head and neck)
Burns from hot water and house, kitchen or mechanical fires
Falls from windows, beds, trampolines, child seats or walkers
