Jeffrey Phillips of the Phillips Law Group has been hired as attorney at law for Juan Navarette, Sr., the plaintiff in a hit and run incident in Salt River, Arizona. On May 25, which happens to be Mr. Navarette's birthday, he was struck by a car and seriously injured while he was out walking. Bianca Hernandez, who was the driver of a Ford passenger vehicle that struck Mr. Navarette, has been booked on charges of leaving the scene of the accident, which include class 2 and 3 felonies and aggravated assault (Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, Police Report # 15-012689).
Jeffrey Phillips stated that the law firm will use their resources and expertise to help Mr. Navarette get fair compensation for what he has gone through. "Being a victim of a car accident is one of the most horrible experiences a person can go through. It affects you both physically and emotionally, and it can also take a financial toll on the victim and his family," said Jeffrey Phillips. He added that regardless of the amount of compensation that a victim is able to receive, it will never be enough to make things completely right again.
Based on a preliminary breath test, a drug recognition expert suggested that the defendant was impaired by a combination of marijuana, alcohol and central nervous system depressants. The victim was walking on the shoulder of the road when Hernandez's vehicle hit him. The defendant tried to escape but was arrested 10 minutes later.
