On August 30, 2006 JG was stopped at the intersection of 4th Avenue and 122nd in Burien, Washington, waiting for traffic to clear before executing a left turn. While watching for traffic, JG was unexpectedly struck from the rear. Following the collision, the unknown driver and his passengers fled the scene on foot, leaving their vehicle abandoned. 

Washington law provides that the drivers on the road have the duty to exercise ordinary care and avoid causing a collision. JG did nothing to contribute to the cause of the crash and could do nothing to avoid the collision. The unknown driver was negligent when he failed to stop for traffic, failed to be attentive while driving his vehicle, and failed in the safe operation of his vehicle which resulted in his collision into our client. Furthermore, he fled from the scene of an accident.

As a direct result of the hit and run collision, JG sustained injuries to her neck, shoulder, back, and associated body structures. Specific details regarding these injuries are outlined below.
