On Saturday, May 17, 2014, my law firm (the Sinas Dramis Law Firm) held its 12th annual “Heads Up for Safety” bike helmet event. With our co-sponsors, the Michigan Association for Justice, Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center, and WLAJ, we provided and fitted 350 kids with bike helmets. Since sponsoring its first bike helmet event, the Sinas Dramis Law Firm has distributed over 5,000 bicycle helmets to children in Michigan. As a bicycle accident lawyer who deals with bike crashes every day, I know how important it is to get kids (and adults) to wear a properly fitting bicycle helmet every ride.
As in the past years, the CFT-Sinas Dramis Bicycle Racing Team hosted a bike obstacle course and SPIN Bicycle Shop hosted a bicycle repair tent. Overall, the event was a tremendous success. The law firm looks forward to hosting another bike helmet event in Grand Rapids, Michigan on June 14, 2014.
This article, Michigan Bicycle Accident Lawyer gives away 5000th Bicycle Helmet, was originally published on Bike Law on May 27, 2014.
Why is it “important… to get kids (and adults) to wear a properly fitting helmet every ride?”
It seems like you must have a considerable dataset that shows that (a) riding with a helmet is safer than not, soup to nuts, and (b) another dataset showing “properly fitting” (now there’s a concise legal term) helmets are safer than not “properly fitting” helmets? Please share.
