Kentucky Injury Law Blog

I am always amazed when I see kids whizzing around Louisville on their "roller shoes" . To be completely honest, I even want some for myself. But being a personal injury lawyer, I can't help but wonder if it wasn't just an injury waiting to happen. According to a recent study published in the journal Pediatrics, they are very dangerous. As you would expect the real danger is while kids are learning to use the shoes. And if you let your kid wear them without protective gear such as elbow pads, knee pads and wrist guards.

I would be very interested to know what kind of warnings accompany these shoes. There may indeed be a very good basis for a products liability suit. These shoes may be unreasonably dangerous.

Do you think "Heelys" will go the way of the lawn dart?
