Can a driver get charge if a child is not wearing a seatbelt and dies from an accident?
Yes, a driver can potentially face charges if a child is not wearing a seatbelt and dies in an accident. Laws vary by jurisdiction, but many places impose legal responsibilities on drivers to ensure that all passengers, especially minors, are properly restrained. If negligence is established, the driver could be charged with offenses such as vehicular manslaughter or child endangerment. The specific circumstances and local laws will significantly influence the outcome.

If the accident was my fault but the child in the other car wouldn't have been hurt if she was wearing a seatbelt I'm I responsible for her injuries?
Interesting. My best guess is that you will be ticketed for the accident, and the driver of the other car will be ticketed for not having the kid strapped in. As far as fault for the kids injuries lies, ultimately with you. If the accident had not occured, the kid would not have been hurt. Both you and the other driver are going to get fined, but I think you are going to get the worse end of the bargian.
