In a West Palm Beach defective bicycle lawsuit can a plaintiff sustain a cause of action for a child's injury due to a defective bicycle helmet?

 

A:

Yes, although a bicycle helmet is not an actual component of a bike, children are required to wear them under Florida law and they are a key component to keep children safe from head injuries.  Therefore, defective or malfunctioning helmets may become part of a West Palm Beach defective bicycle lawsuit if the helmet fails to protect a child or causes the child's injury.
