Woman Killed in Flamingo Street Accident

Accidents can come in many forms, but they all bear a certain degree of trauma in common. Even a minor fender-bender can entail repair costs or medical bills that are difficult for the average person to pay unprepared. The accidents that cause more damage or worse injury can be financially ruinous without legal compensation to offset the huge costs. The most tragic accidents, in which a life is lost, may have no monetary cost, but the suffering for those left behind is the worst to bear. Legal compensation for wrongful death is no less just than any other form.

A fatal accident involving a pedestrian occurred on Decatur and Flamingo, according to Metro police.

A 39-year-old woman was struck while crossing the street by a Dodge Durango, police say. According to witnesses, the woman was not in a marked crosswalk when she attempted to cross the street.

Her injuries were listed as critical and she was transported to UMC Trauma, but she died there of her injuries, police say. The death was ruled as an accident, the cause of her death was blunt force trauma.

The occupants of the Durango remained at the scene and were uninjured.

No one should be able to walk away from hurting another human being without some form of compensation to those they hurt.
