Birmingham Hit-and-Run Victim Released from Hospital

A man who was injured in a hit-and-run accident just after walking his daughter down the aisle a few weeks ago was released from the hospital on Friday. Bill Forward was loading chairs into a van after his daughter's wedding on Greensboro Avenue on June 27th when he was struck by a light-colored SUV. Both of his legs were broken in the incident. The driver of the SUV has still not been identified.

Unfortunately, pedestrians involved in motor vehicle accidents often suffer serious or fatal injuries. As with Mr. Forward's case, many of these accidents are caused by negligent or reckless conduct on the part of motor vehicle drivers. If you have been injured in an accident that resulted from the negligence of another, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries.
