Family Awarded $2.9 Million

The family of a 14-year-old girl who was killed in a 2004 hit-and-run crash while she was trying to cross a road has been awarded $2.9 million by a Bucks County, Pennsylvania judge.  The case was decided without a jury.

The girl, who was about to begin ninth grade, fell victim to a hit-and-run accident and killed by a 21-year-old who was intoxicated at the time and was driving with a suspended license. The at-fault driver was arrested for hit-and-run DUI and later plead guilty and is still in prison today. No amount of money will bring this precious little girl back to her family.

However, it allows the family to hold on to the fact that the person responsible for killing their daughter is being held responsible and is not just going to be free to do this to other innocent victims.
