Police report death of woman hit in a Boston Medical Center hit-and-run incident
Police report the death of a woman hit in a tragic hit-and-run incident outside Boston Medical Center on Monday night. Boston police confirmed that the woman, who was struck by a car, had succumbed to her injuries.
The crash, which occurred near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Albany Street around 8:45 p.m., also left a man seriously injured, though his injuries were not life-threatening. Both victims were rushed to the hospital for treatment immediately after the crash.
Although the police have identified the vehicle and driver involved in the incident, no arrests have been made as of Tuesday morning.
The investigation remains ongoing as officials gather evidence and determine the circumstances leading up to the hit-and-run. Boston police are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in the apprehension of the suspect.
The Tragic Impact of Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run accidents are devastating, particularly when victims suffer severe or fatal injuries. Families of those who lose their lives in such incidents are left not only with emotional trauma but also with financial burdens, including medical expenses, funeral costs, and the potential loss of income if the victim was a primary earner. The man injured in the crash faces challenges, from medical bills to the emotional toll of the incident.
Compensation Available for Victims
Victims of hit-and-run accidents, or their families, are entitled to pursue various forms of compensation. In cases like this, compensation may cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and future earnings for the injured party. For the family of the deceased victim, wrongful death claims may allow them to seek damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and even punitive damages to hold the responsible party accountable.
Proving liability is crucial in personal injury claims, including those arising from hit-and-run incidents. Since the driver in this case fled the scene, proving fault becomes more complex. However, once the driver is apprehended, they could face both criminal charges and civil liability. It’s also important to note that uninsured motorist coverage may provide financial relief in hit-and-run cases if the driver remains unidentified.
