On February 4, 2009, a fifteen-year-old girl pedestrian was involved in a pedestrian accident with a car in which she was hit by a car.  The young girl was within the crosswalk on Blackstone Avenue at Weldon Avenue when he was involved in the pedestrian-car-auto-accident where the car failed to stop and give her the right-of-way.

The young girl suffered moderate injuries including cuts to her head as well as injuries to her right hand.  Because of the injuries to her head, she may have either struck her head on the car or on the pavement.  Any time anyone hits their head, no matter how easily or softly, brain injuries, blunt force trauma, and brain trauma can occur which may impact that person's life, for which they should be compensated.  Brain injuries can result in the person being unable to ever smell again or it may limit motor skills, such as lifting one's head, rolling over, sitting up, balancing, crawling, and walking.  There are also may other forms and types of motor skill dysfunction which could result from a pedestrian accident.
