The chase ended at the suspect\u2019s home, where Chirla parked his car behind the suspect\u2019s to block him in until police arrived. The crash\u2019s victim suffered minor injuries to her face and arm, and was taken to Memorial Hospital Pembroke. In another case, Carmen Gonzalez was watching when a driver struck a bicyclist near Fort Lauderdale. She followed the driver long enough to snap a photo of the vehicle, including the tag, with her cellphone. This information led detectives to Karen Goettert, who admitted to having struck the bicyclist. The crash victim is currently treating his injuries with a chiropractor. When Thomas Hanley witnessed a hit and run in Pompano Beach, which killed motorcyclist Benjamin Pirofsky, he chased after the intoxicated driver, urging her to return to the scene. When she refused, he led deputies to her home. Though police advise\u00a0people to never put themselves in harm\u2019s way, they acknowledge that they rely on the public\u2019s help to solve cases.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one has been involved in an hit and run accident in South Florida, and have suffered injuries due to someone else\u2019s fault or negligence, you are entitled to monetary compensation for pain and suffering damages, along with payment for out of pocket medical bills and lost wages. After an accident, it is important to speak with an attorney who can explain a person\u2019s rights and guide them through the legal process.
