Thats around 600 auto accidents each and every day! Most of them result in injuries to one or more drivers. There were over 197,000 injuries in 125,000 injury crashes in Florida in 2009.
Almost half of the highway deaths in Florida involve alcohol. In other words, they were preventable. When a drunk driver kills or injures someone in Florida, he may be subject to criminal or civil prosecution, or both. Because his direct negligence was responsible for the crash, the victim, or his surviving relatives, may be entitled to legal damages.
Of course, drunk drivers are not the only ones who can be sued by injured car accident victims. Many cases these days involve distracted motorists. Talking on cell phones or driving will texting causes thousands of auto accidents in Florida each year. The state banned the use of wireless devices and texting while operating a motor vehicle in 2009, but some drivers still havent learned.
Pompano Beach Car Crash Lawyer
In addition to the pain and suffering of minor or major injuries, car accident victims often have to worry about lost wages, medical bills, and damage to their vehicles. If they were not responsible for the accident, why should they pay for any of the aforementioned?
Most insurance policies provide personal injury protection (PIP), which will cover the cost of minor injuries in most cases. If you are lucky enough to emerge from an auto accident with only a few scrapes and bruises, this coverage may be sufficient. When it comes to property, drivers generally need comprehensive coverage to pay for the damage to their vehicles. Unfortunately, many drivers in Florida cannot afford these pricy policies. So, even if they are slammed into by another driver, they may have to pay for repairs. That is unless they contact a Pompano Beach car crash lawyer.
How can they help?
A serious car accident can be a traumatic experience. Most people involved in them sustain injuries that require medical attention. As we mentioned, when the injuries are serious, insurance alone may not cover the cost of medical care. Not to mention lost wages or damage to property.
