Re: neighbor hurt on my sons bike
There are many more facts I would need to review before providing you with an answer to your question. However, the easiest approach is, if you have homeowner's insurance, ot tenant's insurance, notify your insurance company of the incident and the claim being made against you. The insurance company will represent you. If you do not have an insurance company, please feel free to contact me for further information.
