The family of a six-year-old girl killed when her car seat was ejected during a fatal crash are suing police, alleging that officers' pursuit of a fleeing suspect endangered innocent bystanders and contributed to her death. The case adds to ongoing debate over the safety risks posed by high-speed police chases and the extent to which law enforcement can be held liable when third parties are harmed during pursuits.

The lawsuit centres on a crash in Florida in which the child was killed after the vehicle she was travelling in was struck during the chase, with the force of the collision throwing her car seat into the air. Her family argue police failed to properly weigh the danger to the public before continuing the pursuit, and are now seeking accountability and damages through the courts.
