Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Insurance Disputes
Q: If a 14 year old was walking in the street with the flow of traffic and was hit by a car, can the person driving the car be leaglly responsible?
A: The answer is that there is not enough information in the question. One would need to know where, exactly the 14 year old was walking.
Was it night or day.
If at night, what clothes were the 14 year old wearing?
Was the person in the road? On the shoulder.
Was the driver drunk.
Generally speaking, in Virginia, if an accident victim was in any way responsible for their own injuries, even if just a little bit, then they will not be able to recover for their injuries. This is the law of contributory negligence.
Ultimately, you should consult with an experienced persona injury attorney in your area.
