We were saddened to hear that, according to AZCentral, an 11-year-old boy has been killed due to a collision between the family’s SUV and another vehicle suspected to be driven by an impaired driver. The victim was riding with his 7-year-old brother and father who was an on-call doctor at a local hospital. The family was on their way to the hospital and the father had to bring his two sons along because he didn’t have a babysitter. The offending driver was first spotted leaving a bar and was followed by police until he sped up and then collided with the SUV at the intersection of McQueen and Warner roads where he ran a red light.

As Chandler wrongful death car accident lawyers, we believe there is absolutely no excuse for people to drive drunk and kill innocent people, especially a child. If reports are correct and the driver was intoxicated, he should be criminally punished and justice should be served. As an attorney, I would also tell the family that they may have a claim against the establishment where the driver was drinking and driving. Many people do not realize that establishments have a duty to make sure people are not leaving their establishment and drinking and driving. Depending on the actions of the city police, there may be a possible claim against the police if a high speed chase was involved. At this time, it does not appear that we have enough information on these various claims.
