Kid injured in hit and run accident
South Florida is considered a growing state and Broward County’s population is growing by leaps and bounds. As you will see across the county there are neighborhoods being built in and around the county, and with these new neighborhoods being built there is the need for schools for the families that will be residing in these neighborhoods.
Recently out in Weston an elementary school student received serious injuries from a hit and run accident. The student apparently ran out of the school yard through an unattended gate right into the street just before his morning line up. Paramedics and police was called out to the scene of the hit and run, he sustained injuries serious enough to be hospitalized. He suffered a broken leg and internal injuries he was hospitalized for a week.
His parents sought legal counsel from a Fort Lauderdale attorney who is experienced in this type of accident injury. They were able to provide the attorney record of the injuries that their son sustained, pictures of the injury and pictures of the immediate area where the hit and run accident occurred. They also provided all the medical bills for the injuries that their son sustained. As I stated earlier there are schools and neighborhoods being built all over Broward County and drivers have to practice their due diligence when driving on the streets and highways, especially through school zones.
