What is the name of your state? CA
My teenage son was recently hit by a car while crossing against the red. He was cited by the police department and the vehicle owner wants to be paid for damages. This is the catch. The driver claims that he was only going 20mph when he struck my 6' tall son. How is his car damaged and not my son? Shouldn't he been able to stop at that speed? And is he responsible for my son's medical bills? He was sent by ambulance to the hospital because of his age and the fact that the car sent him in the air.
