Man Suffers Serious Injuries in Milwaukee Hit-and-Run Accident
On behalf of Milwaukee personal injury attorney Ric Domnitz of Domnitz & Domnitz, S.C. posted in Motorcycle Accidents on Friday, October 21, 2011.
A very serious hit-and-run accident occurred last week in Wisconsin. A single father was riding his motorcycle in Milwaukee at 51st Street and Capitol Drive. He was just heading out to visit his brother when a blue van struck him down. The driver of the van sped away and left the victim for dead.
The father is now struggling for his life at Froedtert Hospital. He remains in intensive care after suffering severe injuries to his legs, ribs, lungs and chest. After two major surgeries, it does appear that he has a good chance of surviving this tragic hit-and-run accident. However, he has a long road ahead of him and it is possible that he will suffer from the effects from the crash for a long time to come, physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.
Unfortunately, the driver of the hit-and-run vehicle, and the vehicle itself, has yet to be located. Family members are hoping that their plea for any information will procure some clues as to what happened and who was responsible for this terrible accident. Hopefully, nearby video surveillance will shed some light on the hit-and-run vehicle and driver.
This story is just another reminder of how serious motorcycle accidents can be. When other motorists on the road are negligent and crash into a motorcycle, the injuries can be very severe and many times result in a wrongful death.
Thankfully, it looks like this father will survive the crash. However, it will be very important to locate the responsible driver to hold him or her accountable for this man’s serious injuries. In the meantime, this single father of two will need the help of an experienced attorney who can gather all of the facts that are available and make sure that this accident in thoroughly and carefully investigated.
