Kansas City Child Seriously Injured in Hit and Run Accident in front of Home

At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we know protecting your child is your number one priority and in light of a recent hit and run accident over the 4th of July holiday weekend, we want to remind parents about the importance of pedestrian safety.

A 9 year-old boy was seriously injured in a hit and run accident, when he and an adult were hit by a speeding vehicle while they were setting off fireworks in front of a home in Kansas City, Kansas.  The boy was taken to a nearby hospital but his injuries are not considered to be life threatening.

As experienced Kansas City Child Accident and Injury Lawyers, we encourage parents to sit down with their children and discuss the importance of pedestrian safety-- even in front of your own  home. Sometimes we forget they are children and when they are out playing, common sense isn't always used wisely. It is the responsibility of parents to make sure their kids know what to do in these dangerous situations.  Obviously, we'd like to remind all motorists to drive slowly and attentive through residential neighborhoods-- no matter what time of day it is-- and always be on the look out for children playing in or near the streets, especially during the summer time when everyone's schedule allows for a little later play time.
