The estate wants to sue those responsible as recourse. The estate has sued the child and the parents.

Precedent establishes that those under 4 years can chainsaw your leg off and get off scott free.

The kid in question is over the age of four.

What would you prefer they (the estate) do?
The estate needs to sue the maker of the bicycle. The company knows that bicycles, even those with training wheels, are inherently dangerous. Bicycle companies support racing, such as the Tour de France, and even four year olds are bombarded with commercials showing racers, hence, making those four year olds want to emulate the people they see on TV. I bet the bicycle even had Dora on it. Doesn't Dora participate in a race on one of her cartoons? Nikelodeon should also be sued for showing racing to young children, enticing them to race their bicycles. And since all of that is on TV, cable and satellite providers should be sued for allowing that stuff to air. As a matter of fact, the makers of TVs should be sued, because if it weren't for TV, a kid would have never entered into a bike race. But then again, if that kid was never born, she never would have hit the old lady, so lets sue the maker of the mattress that the parents owned. Or maybe we should just sue God, for putting people on the planet in the first place.
