John Fleming defended an SUV driver who struck a young child, under age 10, in front of a school. The child, who was holding his sister’s hand walking home from school, broke free from his sister’s grip, and ran into the middle of the roadway, where he was struck by the passing SUV driver, resulting in a broken leg. The jury returned a not guilty verdict in favor of John’s client, the SUV driver, finding that the injured child was guilty of 51% or more of the fault in causing the impact between the pedestrian and passing vehicle.
