Winder Four Year Old Injured in Wreck

A four year old Winder boy was airlifted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta after being hit by a car.  It appears the child ran into the street Saturday morning.  Winder Police Captain Dennis Dorsey said the boy was alert and talking to his parents during his transport.  No charges had been filed against the driver of the vehicle that collided with the child.  Although it appears that no error on the drivers part caused this accident, distracted drivers in the metro Atlanta area are all too common.  Drivers distracted by cellphones, radios, or other passengers are more likely to fail to observe changes in traffic patterns or the actions of other drivers and pedestrians sharing the roadway.  This type of negligence results in many of wrecks and resulting personal injuries that occur daily in the Atlanta area.  If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of the negligence of another  and you need an attorney , please call our office at 888-973-2540 (888-WRECK-404) to schedule a  totally free consultation to discuss your legal rights and options.
