Boy on bike suffers serious injuries after hit-and-run

On behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Aug 22, 2018 | Car Accidents

Drivers in New York are expected to keep a close eye on everything and everyone on the road to ensure safety. This is especially true in the summer, when there are children out on bicycles and just out and about in the street. When there is an accident, it is important that the driver remain at the scene to make certain that those who were hit are uninjured. If there are injuries, it is crucial to call for emergency assistance. When there are serious injuries, the family must make sure they understand their potential right to pursue compensation in a legal filing.

According to a recent report, a man was arrested after a hit-and-run in which an 11-year-old boy on his bicycle was injured. The accident occurred in the evening at around 8 p.m. The boy was thrown into the air and the vehicle took off. After being hospitalized, the boy was said to be in serious condition with internal injuries and lacerations. The medical facility believes he will survive. The driver, a 41-year-old man, was found after the damaged vehicle was discovered near the site of the crash. He was arrested and charged with numerous crimes, including fleeing the scene of a crash, unlicensed operation and reckless endangerment. The investigation into the accident is continuing.

Bicycle accidents can have long-term consequences in a physical and emotional way, especially when the victim is a child. Medical care, the need for surgical procedures and various treatments will be needed to help a child to get through what happened. With all the problems that the victim and family can face following auto accidents, a lawsuit may be able to assist them with garnering compensation, covering the treatment and moving on.

In this recent accident, a boy was riding his bicycle when he was hit by a car that fled the scene. The boy was hospitalized and, although he is expected to survive, was said to have serious injuries. Having the right information about legal options after automobile accidents is crucial.
