Hit and Run accident
Going through my usual morning regime – coffee and watching the daily news on WSVN Channel 7 news, I saw a story that I decided to blog on. 6yr old Brian Wilson was crossing Lucy Street near Second Avenue in Homestead with his father and 3-year-old brother on Thursday, when he reportedly was struck by Shemira Brown who fled the scene of the accident. Brian recalls his dad picking him up off the street and putting him out of harms way. Shemira Brown turned herself in and was charged in fleeing the scene of the accident.
Reports state that Brian was attempting to cross when he was struck, paramedics were called to scene where Brian was transported to Homestead Hospital then to Miami Children’s Hospital. Luckily for Brian, his injuries were not life threatening but serious for him to be hospitalized. Shemira Brown turned herself in to the police and according to reports she was held accountable for the accident.
As an Attorney practicing in Broward and Miami-Dade we would advise that Brian’s family get the accident report from the paramedics; keep all medical reports as they will require this should the family decide to file claim.
