The study was conducted by Houston car accident lawyers, Goldenzweig Law Group. It analyzed data from a research company called No Heat Stroke on child heatstroke deaths in vehicles from 1998 to the latest data available in 2024.
Figures were totaled for each state and compared with the population ages 14 and under. The states were then ranked from highest to lowest based on the rate of hot car deaths.
Louisiana ranked as the deadliest state in the country for child heatstroke deaths in vehicles. Approximately 36 deaths were recorded from 1998, averaging 4.11 per 100,000 people. The latest death was reported in August 2022 in Lake Charles.
Mississippi took second place in the ranking, averaging 3.82 deaths per 100,000 children. Since 1998, 21 children have died from heatstroke in vehicles, with the victims aged from three months to 13 years.
Oklahoma and Arkansas were the third and fourth-worst states in the country for hot car deaths.
