When a child rides a bicycle the most important equipment he or she should have is a well fitting helmet. Bicycle helmets are essential for protecting a child from head injuries. Frequently when a child is hurt in a bike accident, more than half of the injuries are head injuries, which are more likely to result in serious injuries or death. A head injury is the most common cause of bicycle rider deaths, especially among children.
If a child sustains a head injury despite wearing a well fitting bicycle helmet, it is possible that the helmet malfunctioned or was defective.
If your child is hurt in a bike accident and sustains serious head injuries or trauma, it is important that you have an experience West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer on your side to explain your rights. A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer that initiates a cause of action for a defective bicycle helmet that injures a child, may advise a plaintiff that although a bicycle helmet is not an actual component of a bicycle, defective or malfunctioning helmets may become the subject of litigation, especially if a child is required to wear one. For example, if a child is injured in a bicycle accident his or her parents may choose to initiate a lawsuit against the bicycle helmet manufacturer for a defect stating that the helmet failed to provide adequate protection and lacked visibility. In such a traumatic instance, it is important to have your questions and rights explained to you.
