According to published reports, Amartya was riding a scooter in a cul-de-sac near his home when he was struckby a Ford Focus that was backing out of a driveway. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he eventually succumbed to his injuries. Preliminary reports indicate that he was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision. At Matiasic Roth & Johnson LLP our thoughts and prayers remain with the victim’s family.
Investigators are still trying to determine why the driver did not see the child. The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office does not suspect that drugs or alcohol contributed to this horrific accident. One possible factor in this tragic accident is driver inattention. A driver cannot operate his or her vehicle safely if they are distracted. Common examples of activities that distract drivers include: texting, eating, talking on a cell phone, changing the radio station or applying makeup. The driver can be held liable for causing this accident if driver inattention was a contributing factor.
