Hi, we live in Germany but are currently in Mallorca. We were having a lovely vacation trip with our 19-month-old son. Yesterday, while walking near the beach and a kids' park, my husband was walking with Lian. He was just 1 meter away from him at all times and had his eyes on him constantly. Suddenly, an electric police car made a turn out of nowhere and struck our son. He fell backward, hitting his head, and then the car drove over his little feet, stopping exactly when his feet was under the wheel for 10 seconds. My husband hit the car several times while yelling for it to reverse.

Many witnesses saw what happened since it occurred right in front of a big restaurant, and even the police admitted it was their fault.

They rushed him to the emergency room where they examined him. It's a miracle, but no bones were damaged or broken. Nevertheless, his feet don't look right, and he cried all night. Today, we are going back to the hospital to see how it has developed and then plan to file a formal complaint against the police.

What should we do? Should we sue? Wait until we return to Germany? Or should we hire a lawyer here? My husband knows a traffic lawyer who lives in Palmas.

Thanks for reading; yesterday, we were in total shock the entire time.
