Brain Injury Verdict in Texas

September 22, 2009, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A jury in Texas found that the Texas Motor Speedway was negligent in an accident that left a boy with traumatic brain injuries, awarding more that $11 million in damages for his injuries.

The boy was hit by child while driving a miniature race car in the parking lot of the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway, a paved one-fifth mile at the race track. The jury found the Texas Motor Speedway 80% responsible for the accident (and the boy's parents 20%).

I would like to know how fast they kids were driving. My kids are too young but they are going to want to drive go-carts and the like just like I did as a child. Should I let them? Depressing issues to digest.
