Saturday, at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk, Virginia VA), Omon Graham, a nine year old boy, died suffering head injuries.
While on Airline Boulevard in Chesapeake, Virginia (VA) he and his friends attempted to cross the congested street. Omon stepped out onto the street and was hit by a pick up truck. No charges against the driver have been made but the investigation is still ongoing.
This kind of accident where a child is injured or killed is all to routine in Virginia Beach, Virginia (VA), and across Virginia (VA) and North Carolina (NC). The insurance companies call them “dart out” cases trying to blame the child, not the car. Our firm calls them pedestrian lawsuits focusing on the child walking and struck by a fast moving motor vehicle.
