My brother got hit by a car, then the car left. What should my family do?

My brother got hit by a car, while riding his bike home, and it was the car's fault. It isn't a serious hit, but his knee is bleeding and hurting. He played it off and went home, but I am concerned. What should we really do?

Does he or any other witnesses remember the license plate number? I am SO glad to hear your brother survived. I wish you and your family luck.

Call the police and file a report. That was a hit and run by the driver and is a felony. Then go to the hospital and get himself checked out.


Thomas Wife
well were there any cameras around did he see the car license plate see if there where cameras around that would be a good idea if he remembers where we was at.

File a police report, immediately!!! It'll be extremely helpful if he saw the car at all, and can prevent it from happening again. Next time, the outcome may be much worse.

I don't think there's much you can do. I guess your lucky it's not serious. I suggest asking your brother all that he remembers which you probably already di which is all I can say. SORRY!!!

You can't do anything unless your bro remembers the license plate, or make and model and year etc...


mark
i dont know what you can do

usually when cars hit cyclists they get out and exchange details and such...

Well the first thing you need to do is convince your brother to go to the hospital and get checked out. Second call the police and see what they can do because Any person who operates a motor vehicle and is involved in an accident is required by law to stop in a safe place, provide information to the owner of whatever property may have been damaged (car, property, person, etc.), and render aid to anyone who was injured if necessary. Those who cause property damage and are unable to identify or contact the property''s owner are legally required to leave a note with contact information and file an accident report with the police. Failure to do these things constitutes a hit and run. Third get a layer when you find out who hit him because this is a prosecution for the person who hit your brother.


<3megs!
call the police report a hit and run. See if your brother can describe anything about the car, the color or lincense plate or the person.


victoria
report to the police and make him describe the person but if he isnt hurt that much it isnt a big deal

you should take him to a doctor and see what the doctor says about it, cause it can lead to serious injuries.so go see a doctor.

That's horrible !

That stupid car should've stayed. You should have remembered what it looks like. Call the police and tell them. Also, tell the doctor. Your bro needs to get his knee checked out. Sorry about this.
God Bless !
Good Luck !
:]

Take him to the ER. It could be serious. Then file a police report.
Also, see if insurance will cover it.


Meghann
I think you should get over it. He isnt hurt bad and he doesnt care. If he was seriously injured then that would be another story. But you cant do anything anyway because the car left before he got info.


wapitona
Contact the police, it is classed as a 'hit and run' whatever the matter.

The driver should have stopped, even if your brother wasn't badly hurt

Good luck huni xx
