Children in a motor vehicle aren’t driving and, therefore, cannot be at fault in any way. However, a child on a bicycle may have failed to follow the rules of the road and thus have contributed to causing the accident. Courts nonetheless will take some factors, including a child’s age, into consideration before assigning blame. The older the injured cycling child is, the more likely the court expects the child to have followed all the rules. Be sure your attorney understands the facts in any bicycle injury case.
