Driver admits to causing the death of a six-year-old boy

A number of charges have been brought against the man including allegations of a failure to stop and report an accident in addition to charges of attempting to disguise vehicle damage and pervert the course of justice.

The six-year-old was out playing with a friend in Fishpond Lane, Wakefield when he was struck by the car. 

An interim ban was placed upon the driver and Judge Geoffrey Marson QC told him that at the conclusion of next week’s two-day hearing he could expect to go to jail. 

The defendant was granted bail and will face the further charges on Monday. 

Claiming compensation against a driver who has been negligent

Motor vehicle accidents are one area where a large number of compensation claims occur and in general every motor vehicle accident is caused by one party which is why compensation claims are so common – there is a clear person to make a claim against. Motor vehicle accidents can often also contain some of the most serious injuries and many of these can be life threatening, as a result they can leave you with hefty medical bills and costs – and this is why you might consider making a compensation claim.

If you feel that you have been the victim of a negligent driver, or a driver who hasn’t followed the road rules appropriately, then you could consider making a claim to cover any additional costs that you have incurred.
