Lawyers in Dallas started a hashtag to increase awareness and keep children safe particularly when riding their bicycles.
The Dallas Accident Attorneys of 1-800-Car-Wreck of Eberstein & Witherite initiated #KidsBikeSafety to alert parents and share safety guidelines since biking is one of the most popular activities among young children. The hashtag was created to protect children, considering the fact that many of them will be riding their bikes in the next couple of summer months.
The hashtag aims to keep children free from injury and to avoid unnecessary accidents. Children and parents must practice safety precautions at all times to enjoy their summer to the fullest.
Because helmets are the ultimate protective biking device for children, the Dallas lawyers will be handing out free bicycle helmets every week from June to August 2013.
Online users only need to tweet and include the hashtag #KidsBikeSafety to get a chance to win the item. Other prizes will also be given wway by 1-800-Car-Wreck to people following 1800CarWreck.tv.
