4-Year-Old Can Be Sued, Judge Rules in Bike Case by ALAN FEUER FROM The New York Times

"The suit that Justice Wooten allowed to proceed claims that in April 2009, Juliet Breitman, 4, and Jacob Kohn, 5, were racing their bicycles, under the supervision of their mothers, Dana Breitman and Rachel Kohn, on the sidewalk of a building on East 52nd Street. At some point in the race, they struck an 87-year-old woman named Claire Menagh, who was walking in front of the building and, according to the complaint, was 'seriously and severely injured,' suffering a hip fracture that required surgery. She died three months later of unrelated causes."
