My six-year-old son suffered a broken right femur in an automobile accident on May 10. The car and the driver were uninsured. He was discharged from the hospital June 12 in a full body cast. On July 8 he began therapy to learn to walk again.
I faced the driver in court July 3. She admitted that she had been the driver of the car. She then showed the judge proof that she now has insurance. He fined her $120. I stood and watched as she left the courtroom.
What happened to the law that said insurance is mandatory? What about the claim that an uninsured driver would be fined $500, have the plates on the car suspended and his or her driver`s license also suspended?
Is my son the victim of a cruel legal hoax? Will he be the only one who has to pay?
