ST. LOUIS, MO, (November 10, 2024) - Police are urgently seeking information regarding a hit-and-run incident that left 46-year-old Terrell Wilson critically injured in the South City neighborhood of St. Louis last week. The accident occurred around 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 10, on South Broadway, just north of the River City Casino.
Terrell Wilson was critically injured on Nov. 10 when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver in South City. He remains hospitalized as police search for the suspect.
Wilson was crossing the street when he was struck by a white vehicle that immediately fled the scene.
Wilson has since undergone two surgeries, but he remains in critical condition and unable to breathe on his own, with multiple severe injuries including a broken spine, legs, and arms. He is currently on a ventilator.
The St. Louis Police Department has launched an investigation to locate the driver of the white vehicle involved in the hit-and-run. Authorities are appealing to the public for any information that could aid in their search. Anyone with details about the incident is urged to contact the St. Louis Police Department.
HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED
In most cases involving hit-and-runs, the at-fault drivers feel that they can avoid the consequences of their actions if they leave the scene. However, a suspect will be charged when apprehended.
Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said in such cases, it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney promptly to protect the rights of a victim.
“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that must be fully considered. These procedures are necessary for helping someone who has lost a loved one at the hands of a hit-and-run driver receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve.”
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
Terrell Wilson may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, pending the investigation.
Bond added, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
"Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. That's where an attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she said.
