The details of this accident remain sketchy.  However, at first glance, it appears that the hit and run was possibly an intentional act.  Once apprehended, the driver will face an array of legal issues, including numerous criminal charges as well as a potential civil suit for personal injury.  A personal injury suit may be brought for not only acts of negligence but also intentional torts such as assault and battery and assault with a deadly weapon.

If you experience a Boston personal injury accident, you need to seek representation immediately.  The other driver’s insurance company will likely want to speak with you following the accident.   They will try to settle your case quickly for pennies on the dollar.  Once you sign something, your rights can be gone forever.  This means that any future medical treatment you need will come out of your own pocket and will not be paid for by the insurance company or the driver that caused your accident to begin with.
