ACCIDENTS INVOLVING CHILDREN

Unfortunately, adults are not the only people affected by accidents. Children are often hurt in accidents as well. What kind of compensation is the child entitled to?

  • Compensation for medical bills and all other economic losses, both past and future.
  • Compensation for the child’s pain and suffering, which is determined by the court.

CHILD MOTORCYCLE REQUIREMENTS

There is no age requirement to ride on a motorcycle, but there are certain conditions which the bike and owner need to abide by.

  • The child must be safely and securely fastened to the bike behind the adult driver
  • The child must be able to put his or her feet on footrests
  • The child must be wearing a safety helmet
  • The helmet must fit properly
  • Helmets must be to the federal safety standards
  • The helmet must have an inner liner about an inch thick
  • The helmet must have a chinstrap that is well-made and secure
  • The helmet should weigh about three pounds
  • The helmet has a sticker on the back that says “DOT”

MY CHILD WAS IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT

If a minor is injured in a motorcycle accident, the minor needs to have a parent or guardian who are pursuing the settlement with them; they cannot do it alone. A court will approve the settlement. The insurance companies will do anything they can to prove that the child was somehow not following standards in order to pay them out less.
