Why Helmets Save Lives — And What to Do If Your Child Is Hurt
Serving Families Across Stratford and Greater Connecticut
Every Ride Without a Helmet Is a Risk
Bicycling is a rite of passage for many kids—but riding without a helmet can lead to devastating consequences. At [Your Firm Name], we've seen how a split second can result in life-changing traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). If your child was injured in a bicycle accident, we're here to help you get answers, care, and justice.
What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A TBI happens when the brain is violently shaken or struck—something that often occurs when a child falls from a bike and hits their head. Symptoms may appear immediately or days later, and can range from:
• Persistent headaches
• Memory or concentration issues
• Mood swings or emotional instability
• Sensory sensitivity
• Speech or coordination problems
Children's brains are still developing, which means a TBI can impact learning, behavior, and physical development for years to come.
Helmet Use: The #1 Way to Prevent Head Injuries
According to the CDC, wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of serious brain injury by nearly 88%—but many children still ride unprotected.
Common Reasons Kids Ride Without Helmets:
• “It's just a quick ride.”
• “They don't like how it feels.”
• “They're old enough now.”
But even short rides around the block can lead to severe injuries—especially when cars, road defects, or distracted drivers are involved.
Connecticut Law on Bike Helmets
Connecticut law requires children under age 16 to wear helmets when riding bicycles. If another person or party contributed to the accident—such as a negligent driver, poorly maintained road, or defective bike—you may have grounds to pursue a claim, even if your child wasn't wearing a helmet.
