Wednesday, March 16, 2011 Sonoma County Automobile Accident Case
As a Bay Area Auto Accident Attorney, I come into contact with a lot of tragic stories. A case we are handling for a family involving a Sonoma county traffic collision is particularly sad and should serve as a reminder to us all about distracted driving. On December 1, 2010, a 2 year old girl and her mother were hit by a car in a crosswalk in a Sonoma County automobile accident. The driver, an 18 year old student at Sonoma State, was almost certainly texting in the seconds before the collision. The little girl was killed and her mother was severely injured, only being released from the hospital within the last week. This is a tragedy all the way around. As a Sonoma County automobile accident attorney, I will be representing the family seeking compensation from the driver. However, regardless of the outcome, there will be permanent damage to both the family of the victim and the young driver herself.
Trying to save a few minutes by texting while driving can be a life-altering judgement. We should all keep that in mind. |
