Bike Accidents

Children love riding their bicycles. Unfortunately, riding a bike puts them at risk of serious injury, often through no fault of their own. Sometimes, bicycle frames and component parts fail, causing a bicycle accident. Even bicycles that come preassembled may not have been put together properly, putting children at risk of injury.

According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, in 2001, children under the age of 16 accounted for 59 percent of all bicycle-related injuries treated at US emergency departments. Children can suffer serious injury as the result of bike accidents, including traumatic brain damage, skull fractures, internal injuries and broken bones. Some children do not survive their bicycle-related injuries.

It is vital that children be as safe as possible while riding their bicycles. Unfortunately, even when children are cautious, accidents can happen due to defective bicycles, improperly maintained roads or drivers not paying proper attention.

If your child was harmed in a bicycle accident caused by someone's negligence, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the responsible party. No lawsuit can undo the harm caused by such an event, but it can help to ensure that bicycle manufacturers make changes to their defective products that prevent future accidents. A lawsuit can also help to recover costs associated with a specific bicycle accident, including past and future medical costs.

Woloshin & Killino is concerned with making sure our children are safe. That is why we filed a nationwide class action lawsuit against Mattel to force the toy maker to pay for the testing of children who were at risk of lead poisoning from its products. In 2007, Mattel recalled 1.5 million toys after it was discovered that they contained lead paint, which is toxic and can cause irreversible brain damage and other injuries in children.

We represent the children of families across the United States. From CNN to ABC to Fox and around the world, we make the news because we are dedicated to assuring that our children feel safe and secure. That's the W&K Difference.
