TROUBLE: A New York City girl is being sued over a bicycle accident that happened when she was four years old.
She might have been too young for grade school, but a judge says a New York City girl was old enough to be sued over a bicycle accident that happened when she was four years old.
A Manhattan judge refused earlier this month to toss out negligence claims against Juliet Breitman.
She, her mother and others are being sued by the estate of a woman who said she was severely hurt when hit by bicycles that Juliet and a boy were racing down a footpath in April 2009.
The woman, Claire Menagh, died later that year.
Juliet was three months shy of five.
The judge says there's no evidence a child of that age couldn't appreciate ``the danger of riding a bicycle into an elderly woman''.
