The fear that a child will run into the road and be hit by a car is every parent’s worst nightmare. Our Norfolk, VA children’s accident injury attorneys are sad to report this scenario recently occurred in Virginia.

A two-year-old from Chesterfield County, VA is reported to be fighting for his life after darting out in front of a truck, according to nbc12.com.

The accident took place on April 20, 2012 on Willis Road close to Interstate 95.

Family members said their kids had been up late because they were visiting friends. Four boys were being taken to a sleep over when the two-year-old darted into the street after them.

According to reports he was hit by a truck. The driver did not see the toddler and charges are unlikely.

The thoughts of our experienced Norfolk, VA serious personal injury attorneys are with this family at their difficult time.

Children have the right to a claim like everybody else if they are involved in accidents. The decisions are made by the parents on the behalf of the child in a children’s case.

We see far too many children who end up injured on the streets of Norfolk and Virginia Beach. In some cases parents may fail to adequately safeguard a child; in other cases a driver may be negligent, reckless or under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

In January, 2012, a family of four was mown down by a driver who is accused of ignoring the stop signs and flashing lights on a school bus and driving past it in Virginia Beach. The driver was later charged with a DUI.
