Trust me, they will be prosecuted, civally.... I just would like something done about the fact that someone hit me with a damn car and just drove away. I have no idea who this littl punk girl is, nor do I care.
I wasn't raised here, and I haven't been here long. I don't know who's who, but it's obvious, in light of this felony being overlooked, the big dummy knows some one.
-------------------- Sometimes when I say �Oh, I�m fine� I want someone to look me in the eyes & say �tell the truth�
The city of Virginia Beach apparantly has a law that says if you don't fall down when you're hit by a car, "it's no big deal." I wish I was kidding.
Additionally, the commonwealth attorney's office told both my mother and myself that I HIT THE CAR, not the other way around. ?!?!?!?!?!?
Some one listened to my heart for the first time this week. (post accident). There's a murmur that wasn't there when I had a ton of tests (I was a heart patient in the hospital for 3 days because I was passing out) a couple months ago.
The Dr. shook her head wildly when I told her about feeling my PICC line stab my heart.
I'm still trying to find just the right attorney... I've been too sick the past 2 weeks to play phone tag with people, so the search hasn't really gone anywhere.
We'll see what happens, but as far as the little girl that hit me and drove off, she did not break the law.

Unfortunately, the fact that my mother is a Harvard lawyer, doesn't mean anything outside of the state she's licensed in.
She tried to talk to the commonwealth attorney's office, but it was useless. The special ops sargeant spoke to her until she said she was an attorney in Washington... then he went silent.
Obviously something is up, and this girl knows some one, but there's no way for me to prove anything.
I've been so sick, and I am trying to pick up a class or two at the community college so I can pick my life back up. I just ran out of gas with regards to the hit and run. I don't even have the fight in me to go through civil court. Seriously, how far would that go when the commonwealth atty and VBPD all say that I hit the car???

That is the strangest thing. It's like saying an airplane didn't crash. The ground moved up and hit it.
I would have to fight that, if only on principle.
Can you call your local newspaper or tv stations and get them to air your story.
It may generate enough attention to require a change in the law or some satisfaction for you.
How horrible. Where are the parents of these degenerates? Why haven't they stepped up to the plate and taken responsibility for their juvenille deliquents?
I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope that you start feeling better soon.
Sending you positive healing thoughts and prayers.

I provided the name and phone nuber to the witness who drove me home after I was hit. She saw everything... That's why she gave a stranger a ride home.
I think this girl's father is the puppeteer... He was at the police station with her for her interview.
Really, like my boyfriend has said, they should at least have the decency to call and apologize.

If they apologized, that would be the same as admitting wrong doing.
If you have a few witnesses, it would help your case, especially if you go to the media. You gave the good samaritan your number, but you do not have hers?
Also, are there stores/store witnesses/security cameras nearby?

Pedistrians "ALWAYS" have the right of way,,,even if they are jaywalking!!! Lo and behold you hit a ped-X,,, here!! Or say, a kid on a bicyle.
So what lasting damage have they done,,now that you can 'think' about it, got your ego bruises healed and just down to permanent lasting damages,,,after the brusises healed???
I dont understand what your saying with doc shaking his head?? Shaking his head no, it didnt bother your picc,,,or shaking head yes it probably DID affect your picc and /or heart???
I think your insurance company should,could go after their car insurance for the cost of damages incurred from the accident, resulting doctor bills,tests, and all.
I cant see where hitting someone and they fall down or NOT has anything to do with the accident.
Does that mean if they break your arm it isnt really broke,just your imagination,,sorta like a lyme attitude!!??????
I forget,,,was there stoplights at the corner,stop 'signs'?? What traffic control devices were there??
Did they have an impeded line of sight??Bushes,trees,other cars?? Who had the right-of-way?? I assume you werent walking 'against' the lights.
Around here all they talk about is contributory negligence. Each party was negligent in a per cent of the accident. You might 'FEEL' you were 100% right,they 100% wrong,,,but it might not be percieved that way to juries with sharp attorneys on the defense.
Ever see the show "sharks",,,Just like poker,,,all cases can be won or lost,,,depending on the presentation,and who CARES the most!!
Sorta like who can afford the most expensive justice. Sad its that way,,,indeed it is!!Hope you heal 110% and get past this!!!being --just don--
