The same way any driver, regardless of occupation, would be held at fault for hitting a child in a vehicular accident.

Why? The adult, not the child, is responsible for observing the rules of the road and *not hitting the child in the first place*.

Maybe we should wait and see the official report and details of the accident before we assume that Easy Rider was at fault.

Skewed and inaccurate, like most of your comments on this thread.

The kid wasn't properly supervised, and the motorcyclist was apparently obeying the rules.

The kid darted out in traffic.

I once hit a kid on a bicycle (well he slammed into my car) who was zooming down the sidewalk and kept going even though I was just starting out from a stop sign.

He was coming from the sidewalk on the right, and when I checked out all places a car, pedestrian, or bicyclist could be approaching, it was all clear.

The kid wasn't hurt, and the cops gave him a lecture for breaking the law of and riding his bicycle in a dangerous and illegal manner.

I was NOT held at fault, stop making stuff up,.
