A child on a bike with training wheels killed a frail old lady just as dead as a 400hp vette would. So I would imagine this started out as a lawsuit against the parents whose lawyer tried to argue that a 4 year is not responsible for his/her actions which I agree, but the childs parents who bought the bike and allowed the child to ride unsupervised are, which is why I carry a million dollar umbrella policy which sets me back about 160 dollars a year. It's the society we live in, I'm sure in Afganistan the parents would have just given the estate 1 sheep and 2 chickens and everyone would have been just happy.
