Centerville Girl Seriously Injured In a Hit-And-Run Accident
On September 22, 2008, six year-old Amelia Cordova was riding her bike near 300 North and 300 East when a car hit her and left the scene. Amelia was unconscious and suffered a broken arm, concussion and bruises. Police are looking for a light grey or green colored minivan. The van may have front end damage to its bumper. If anyone witnessed this accident or has seen a matching minivan, please contact police.
I offer my condolences to Amelia Cordova and her family and hope the community can help find the person responsible for this sad accident.
Sadly, 100,000 pedestrians are injured each year and half of those injuries result in death. Even worse, many of these accidents are caused by a driver's inattentiveness and the driver leaves the scene and can't be found.
After a Utah hit-and-run accident, victims are left with expensive medical bills and serious injuries and don't know what to do. Fortunately, if you are involved in a Utah hit-and-run accident and have proof that the accident was caused by the negligence of another, you can make a claim for both medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages under your household's own automobile insurance policy.
Amelia's family would benefit from contacting a Utah pedestrian accident attorney who can help explain what insurance policies may apply and how their damages can be fully covered.
