The child's recovery will be a long and difficult one, but he is expected to survive.

You were at your local coffee place when all of a sudden a car comes crashing through the building and hits you. You were driving your normal route to work when all of a sudden the driver next to you crashes into you and forces you both off the road. You were walking in your neighborhood when all of a sudden a car was on top of you. All of these accident examples have one thing in common; they were caused by out-of-control drivers. According to the state of New York, an out-of-control driver is a negligent driver.

If you fall victim to a driver who was not able to maintain control of his or her vehicle, any damages you sustained in the accident may be recoverable. It does not matter if they are economic or noneconomic in nature. If the damages are deemed legally recoverable in accordance with state law, you may pursue relief through legal means.
