For many, United States has always been the land of dreams. Consequently, many people stay at US-Mexico border waiting to cross the US. They employ whatever means possible even to the point of risking their lives.
A Mexican mother and her 4 year old daughter had the same dream – to cross the border posing as vendors selling items to drivers about to cross the border.
However, the unfortunate happened. The child was hit by a Chevrolet Suburban and died at Chula Vista hospital.
The female driver who was a legal resident of the US claimed that she did not see the child walking beside her vehicle.
Mexican authorities said that their action against the driver would depend on the result of the investigation of the accident.
If the female driver would be found negligent, a wrongful death case may be filed against her for negligent driving.
The little girl’s loved ones may claim for damages because of her death. While no monetary value could ever replace her life, expenses incurred may at least be approximated.
