Do I have legal recourse if a defective bicycle helmet caused my injuries from a mountain bike accident in Pennsylvania or New Jersey to be worse than what might have otherwise been?

A: You may have legal recourse if a defective bicycle helmet caused your injuries to be worse than they might have been in a mountain bike accident in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. A Philadelphia personal injury attorney can help.

Manufacturer liability may be relevant in your case, which is why you should seek the help of a Philadelphia personal injury attorney who is familiar with product liability, sports accidents and premises liability. An attorney with this type of experience understands how to look at your case from all different angles.

A helmet is designed to help protect your head. With the head's susceptibility to severe injuries, a defective helmet may cause what might be a normal accident to become catastrophic.

Defects that may be found in a helmet include instability. In other words, if the fit and adjustment of the helmet are flawed, this could cause the helmet to come off. Without a helmet, a head injury can be much more severe.

Another defect could be with the buckles that secure the helmet. If they break apart, this can also leave an individual's head unprotected and at risk of a serious injury.

There can be other types of defects in a helmet that may lead you to file a claim against the negligent party. Whether there is a flaw in the design or manufacturing of the helmet, you have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries. In some cases there may even be more than one party liable.

This is why you need the help of a Philadelphia personal injury attorney who is experienced in handling cases that involve sports injuries and product liability. It is the best way to protect your claim and your legal rights.
