Girl Killed in Montco Hit-Run Collision
A suburban Philadelphia teenager died after a hit-and-run crash on March 28 outside her high school.
According to this article on delcotimes.com, the girl was crossing a street near Plymouth Whitemarsh High School when she was struck by a driver in Plymouth Meeting.
The article reported that the driver who struck the teen fled the scene, but was quickly located. Any driver who is involved in an auto accident, whether it involves another vehicle, a bicycle, and especially a pedestrian, must always safely stop at the scene of the incident. Fleeing the scene of the accident and therefore making such an incident a hit-and-run does a huge disservice to injured individuals.
The girl in this accident may have been celebrating the school’s state basketball championship before she was struck. Wrongful death accidents caused by car crashes can be prevented if drivers exercise more care and follow the rules of the road.
The teen’s family would be well advised to seek the advice of experienced wrongful death attorney. When needless death occurs due to negligence of another party, wrongful death lawsuits can be filed. In these lawsuits, the decedent’s heirs sue the negligent party or parties for damages related to the loss of life and their own pain and suffering. It is recommended that families who think their family member’s death was wrongful first contact a wrongful death attorney for a case assessment. If the case is valid, the attorney can help investigate the claim, gather evidence, represent them in court, and collect the compensation they deserve.
