Skateboard accidents happen every day in this country. They happen when skateboards are ridden on public roads and other drivers don't follow the rules of the road, or they fail to keep a proper lookout. If a driver is in an area that's residential in nature or has a school zone notice, then those drivers should be on notice that there are children in the area, and those children do not know how to exercise caution. You are still required to follow the rules of the road and be even more careful when you're in an area that is congregated by children. So if your child is injured while riding a skateboard, give us a call. We can help.
