L.A. to settle $20M for teen's injury
A 13-year-old boy was severely injured in a hit-and-run accident in Boyle Heights when he was struck by a motorcycle while walking home from school. The city of Los Angeles will pay $20 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the teen, who lost his right leg below the knee and suffered additional injuries. The lawsuit claimed the intersection lacked adequate signage and traffic control measures, contributing to the accident, and highlighted the driver's arrest and sentencing. The settlement will cover medical expenses, attorney fees, and a trust for the boy's ongoing care.
