The Napa Valley Register reported that a teenager suffered serious injuries Monday morning when he was struck by a car in a Napa crosswalk. According to police reports, the collision occurred shortly before 8 a.m. at Jefferson and B Streets. The teen, who wasn't identified, was in a crosswalk when he was struck by a southbound Toyota Camry. The driver of the Camry reportedly did not see the teen until he was on the windshield. The cause of the crash remains under investigation by Napa police.
Pedestrian Accident Injury Liability
If it is determined that the driver of the car is responsible for causing this collision, he or she may be liable for the serious injuries sustained by the teen. After an any accident such as this one where the cause of the collision is unclear, the parents of the injured minor would be well-advised to speak with a northern California personal injury attorney about the incident and the victim's legal rights to recover compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.
