Answer 1

You should contact an accident attorney in your area. Most will give you an initial consultation for free, Then they will tell you that yes either you have a case or no you dont but at least you would know. Did you get the drivers name? Insurance? Accident report from police? Most attorneys will take cases and then only require payment if you are awarded a settlement and then they get a percentage. Before you do any of that though you should make sure your son is ok and take care of any medical conditions he has

Answer 2

Yes you can sue for the medical bills but before you do that I would contact the drivers insurance company and speak with them....

Answer 3

You need to speak to a lawyer about the law for accurate answers.

I can't believe he wasn't arrested or cited by the officer. Hitting a child with a car, and also speeding? Right? Isn't that illegal there?

Car insurance usually covers accidents so his insurance should pay for the medical bills, you should get that information. He could probably be sued in civil court for damages too. Get a good lawyer, a GOOD one.

I don't think the Acura dealership is responsible since it wasn't their employee, however there may be some responsibility if you could prove there is some sort of negligence on a regular basis (i.e. cars always drive fast in there and it's a real safety issue).

YOU STUPID LADY! Who doesnt hold their kid in a parking lot? It's unfortunate that this happened to your son,but you should have been holding his hand. You cannot control how other drivers drive, but you can control other things---like picking the kid up when walking in parking lot, avoiding walking between cars so drivers can see you. Either way, get an attorney and see if they can help you
