Bicycle Accidents Involving Children

Learning to ride a bicycle is a rite of passage of childhood. It symbolizes a new level of independence because now your child can ride their bike to the swimming pool, the park or a friend's house. But, it can also be a new source for injury. According to the 2010 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, in that year, 67 children under the age of 16 were killed in bicycle accidents and another 12,000 were injured. While some bicycle accidents involving children are attributable to the child's inexperience or lack of a helmet, they are also frequently caused by careless motorists who were speeding, texting while driving, talking on the phone, etc.

When a tragic accident happens, you need one of our experienced bicycle accident attorneys fighting for your child. If there are witnesses to the accident, they need to be interviewed and their favorable testimony secured. If there are not any witnesses, we routinely work with highly-qualified accident reconstruction experts who can analyze the bicycle, the other driver's vehicle, skid marks and other physical evidence at the scene to prove the accident was the fault of the motorist and not your child. Our on-staff nurse can assist with medical issues and questions, and we use accomplished medical and economic experts to fully explain the nature and extent of your child and your family's damages.
