Head On Collisions

We are experienced car accident attorneys and have seen first hand the devastation a head-on collision can have on an injury victim and his/her family.

According to the U.S Census Bureau, head-on collisions are among the most dangerous and deadly of all motor vehicle accidents. The injuries that result from these accidents can often result in lasting disability or death for their victims.

How we fight for you

Our attorneys will immediately begin investigating the circumstances surrounding your accident and build a strong foundation for your car accident case.

Road Rage

Reckless driving is when someone drives unsafely, with deliberate disregard for safety and with the full knowledge that their driving may cause an accident. A reckless driver could be found reckless, if he or she drives in a threatening or harassing manner out of “road rage” and causes a car accident. Road rage is an assault with one motor vehicle against the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle. Criminal charges will also stem from such behavior.

Speeding is THE #1 Cause of Accidents!

Improper or excessive lane changing
Failing to signal intent
Improper passing

When Faced With an Aggressive Driver:

Get out of the way
Avoid gestures
Do not challenge the aggressive driver
Avoid eye contact
Report serious aggressive driving

High Speed Collisions

In high-speed collisions, a vehicle undergoes such force that its structure cannot possibly protect its passengers from serious injury.

When you speed:

The distance traveled after seeing an emergency and actually reacting to it increases.
The distance needed to stop a vehicle is increased.
The severity of a crash increases as the speed increases.
An airbag and seatbelt are less effective when speeding is involved.

For the innocent survivors of high-speed car accident, the physical and emotional recovery process can be horribly painful and unbelievably expensive.

Texting While Driving

Even though we are all aware of the dangers of texting while driving, texting has become one of the most dangerous distractions for our nation’s drivers.

Throughout the country there have been numerous fatal accidents involving text messaging.

Please, Stop texting while driving today!

Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk Driving is a choice. Each one of us is aware of the risk involved when drinking and driving, yet too many people decide to take the chance. Tragically, drunk driving is one of the leading causes of injuries and death on our nation’s roads today. When a driver chooses to break the law and operate a vehicle after drinking, they have just chosen to gamble with someone’s life.

Drunk driving car accidents often result when a driver speeds, drives too slowly, makes an improper turn in front of oncoming traffic, fails to stop at a red light or stop sign, drives on the wrong side of the road or rear-ends another vehicle. In some cases, the supplier of the alcohol may be found negligent as well.

The victim of a drunk driving accident is often left with overwhelming emotional trauma as well as expensive and sometimes debilitating personal injuries. Injuries can range from minor scratches to complete paralysis or death.

Side Impact Collisions

Florida Lawyer Helping Victims of Side Impact Collisions

Side impact collisions are very serious and common accidents. A side impact collision occurs when the front of an oncoming vehicle strikes the side of your vehicle. This is also known as being t-boned. Most of these incidents occur at intersections as the result of a failure to yield at a stop sign or red light.

The seriousness of side impact collisions depends on several factors, including the speed and weight of the oncoming vehicle, and where that oncoming vehicle collides with yours.

Asleep at the Wheel

Falling asleep at the wheel is very common. Nearly four percent of deadly crashes nationwide involve sleepy drivers, and hundreds more are injured every year from drivers who have fallen asleep at the wheel.

Any accident involving a fatigued driver is preventable. If you are driving and feel as though you may fall asleep at the wheel, please pull over into a rest area. Although it may be inconvenient, the caution far outweighs the consequences.

Truck drivers are a huge concern for they repeatedly drive while fatigued. Fortunately, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has recently implemented rules limiting the hours a driver may be on the road.

Rollover Accidents

If a member of your family has been injured or killed because of a vehicle rollover accident, the road conditions or even the vehicle itself could have caused the accident.

To prove a road defect was present or that there was a design or manufacturing defect, you need an experienced personal injury attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Florida Accidents & Injuries

What Damages Can I Pursue After a Dog Bite Injury in Florida?
A dog bite claim may include medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, emotional trauma, scarring, disfigurement, infection treatment, future medical care, and other damages supported by the facts. The value depends on the injuries caused, insurance coverage, and Florida law.
What if the Dog Bite Happened at the Owner’s Home While I Was Visiting?
Being a lawful guest on the owner’s property does not automatically disqualify your claim. However, Florida law includes an exception if the owner displayed an easily readable “Bad Dog” sign, unless the person bitten was under six years old or the owner’s negligent act or omission caused the injury.
Can I Pursue a Claim Against Someone I Know Personally?
Many dog bite claims involve a homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy, not direct payment from the dog owner. This can make the claim less personally difficult than many people expect.
How Long Do I Have To File a Dog Bite Claim in Florida?
Florida deadlines can depend on the legal theory, the date of the dog bite or animal attack, the injured person’s age, and the parties involved. Some negligence-based claims may involve a two-year deadline, while other dog bite claims may involve different timing under Florida law. A dog bite attorney can review the facts and explain which deadline may apply.
Does Florida Dog Bite Law Apply if the Dog Had Never Bitten Anyone Before?
Florida follows a strict liability standard for many dog bite claims. This means prior dangerous behavior is not required to hold the owner responsible if the person bitten was in a public place or lawfully on private property when the bite occurred.
