Motorist Acquitted of Negligence in Child Injury Case

A motorist has been cleared of negligence in a case where a young boy was injured. The court likely considered factors such as whether the driver was following traffic rules, the suddenness of the child’s movement, and whether the driver could have reasonably anticipated the child’s presence on the road. In general, drivers aren’t held liable if a child darts into their path unexpectedly, especially if they’re driving safely and obeying traffic laws.
