On Saturday, March 25, a deputy and child were injured after a man suspected of driving while impaired hit the back of a patrol car.

According to the Hampton County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Mike Davis Jr. was doing a traffic stop on Highway 321 near Secession Road when a vehicle ran into the rear of the car.

The vehicle was driven by 41-year-old Rahcheem Albright and had an 8-year-old passenger in the car at the time. The child was injured and airlifted to the hospital.

Deputy Davis was also injured and airlifted to the hospital.

Albright has been charged with DUI, driving under suspension, and child endangerment.

Davis has been released from the hospital while the child’s condition is unknown.

A Personal Injury Lawyer’s Perspective:

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Deputy Davis as he recovers from his injuries and to the child injured in this accident.

As there is a DUI charge, fault is clearly established, and the deputy injured can file a personal injury suit to recover the damages suffered as a result. By filing a claim, he could receive a settlement to cover current and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, and even punitive damages that resulted from the accident.
