“Light installed at crosswalk where teacher’s aide killed”
Certainly, the vehicle that struck this lady would be a potential defendant in a wrongful death claim arising out of this tragic incident. As with any personal injury or wrongful death claim, a lot is going to depend on the investigation, which will reveal how fast the vehicle was going, whether the aide was in the crosswalk, etc. Also, the governmental body that maintains the crosswalk could face a possible claim for not providing lighting, and the school district could be another potential defendant. Finally, if attending the games was one of the duties of school personnel, there could even be a workers’ compensation claim arising out of this. This case has a lot of potential issues, and a qualified injury lawyer would want to get started on it right away.
