Bicycle Accidents Involving Children
California Law requires drivers to exercise increased caution whenever they are near places that children are known to gather, like school zones and parks. Children are not expected to make rational, informed decisions about their own safety, and under the age of five they cannot share any liability in an accident. Both negligent drivers and distracted caretakers could be found liable in accidents involving children.
