8-Year-Old Struck by Car in San Diego
An 8-year-old boy was struck and injured in a San Diego pedestrian accident that occurred on October 28, 2011, around 3:30 p.m. in front of a Lincoln Park elementary school on T Street, near South 48th Street. According to the police officials, the boy stepped onto the street and was struck by a passing car driven by a 53-year-old woman.
The little boy was treated for a broken foot. The at-fault motorist stayed at the accident scene to speak with police. From the limited information, it is not clear as to what led to this accident. The investigation is in process.
Meanwhile, the injured boy’s parents should immediately seek counsel from an experienced San Diego County car accident lawyer who would educate him about his legal rights and assure that the at-fault car driver is brought to justice.
The injured boy’s parents can also file a personal injury claim against the at-fault motorist to obtain compensation to cover treatment, medical and hospital costs, and other accident-related damages.
Our personal injury law office sincerely hopes that the injuries suffered by the young boy heal soon.
