Each year, approximately 100 children tragically lose their lives, and 254,000 are injured due to bicycle-related accidents. While biking is a fantastic way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors, it comes with inherent risks. The open nature of bicycles leaves riders exposed, and their limited stopping power compared to motor vehicles requires extra caution.
It’s crucial for cyclists to remain vigilant, wear appropriate safety gear, and follow traffic rules to minimize the risk of accidents. By doing so, they can enjoy the many benefits of cycling while staying safe on the roads.
If your child does become involved in a bicycle accident, there are several resources and measures to take to make sure you get optimal compensation for your child’s injuries. Contact our team of expert attorneys to get started putting your case together today.
