Car Accidents

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, accidents/unintentional injuries are the fourth-leading cause of death.  The most recent annual data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles show there were over 344,000 traffic crashes in Florida, resulting in almost 2,500 deaths. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has repeatedly found Florida to have one of the highest rates of traffic fatalities per year.

Given that, chances are very high you are visiting this website because you are the victim of an auto accident.

Whether it was the result of negligence, an inattentive driver, or alcohol-related (the most frequent causes), you CAN benefit from consultation with an experienced lawyer who prioritizes your case with personal attention and focus.

Negligent driving includes:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Talking or texting while driving
  • Driving while otherwise distracted
  • Violations of basic safety and traffic laws
  • Not adapting driving behavior to road conditions
  • Unsafe intersection crossings or lane changes
  • Refusal to yield right-of-way
  • Refusal to slow down to posted speeds
  • Drag racing or speeding on public roads
  • Falling asleep at the wheel

A negligent driver is more likely to cause an accident at a high speed because of decreased reaction time. Similarly, if a defective auto part or tire blowout causes your accident, you may have little or no time to react, or even lose complete control of your vehicle.
