| | accident is determining who was negligent. Issues of fault are usually complicated. Our experienced attorneys will help you determine who was at fault. Depending on the situation, our attorneys, accident reconstruction experts and investigators will investigate the possibility of litigation against such defendants such as the following:
Accidents Caused by Drunk Drivers
It is unfortunate, but every day across Florida drunk drivers are killing and injuring innocent Floridians. It is important to understand that the victim and/or his family have the right to make a claim for actual damages and punitive damages.
In addition to the impaired driver being held liable for the personal injuries he or she caused, a bar, restaurant or night club may also be liable for damages if they served an obviously intoxicated guest, who then drove and caused an accident.
Our experienced car accident lawyers know the laws governing legal responsibility and can help you identify who might be held responsible for your injuries, including people or businesses you may not have thought about.
According to statistics, every 30 minutes, someone in this country dies in an alcohol-related accident or crash. Last year alone, over one million people were injured in alcohol-related accidents.
Accidents Caused by Defective Products
In some cases, accidents are caused by factors, which are unrelated to the conduct of any driver. For example, an accident may occur due to a defect in your car. In such cases, an automobile manufacturer or a supplier can be held responsible for injuries caused by a defect in the automobile under the law of product liability.
A product liability suit is a lawsuit brought against the seller of a product for selling a defective product that caused physical injury to a consumer or user. If a manufacturer of a product creates a defective product, either in designing, manufacturing, or labeling the product, the manufacturer is liable for any injuries the product causes, regardless of whether the manufacturer was negligent.
Accidents Caused by Highway Defects
Poorly maintained Florida roads and/or malfunctioning traffic control signals and devices can also contribute to cause an accident as well. Sometimes improper designs, maintenance issues, construction issues, lighting issues or other highway defect issues, including poorly placed utility poles, can cause serious accidents. In cases such as this the road construction company or even the State of Florida can be held responsible in the court of law. Special rules apply to claims and lawsuits brought against governmental entities, such as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
Reckless Conduct and Road Rage
A driver may also be found liable for an accident due to his or her intentional or reckless conduct or for his or her failure to act in accord with a reasonable driver under the same circumstances. For example, a driver on Florida's roads can be found reckless if he or she drives in a threatening or harassing manner out of "road rage" and causes an accident.
Statistics compiled in 1997 by the National Highway Transportation Safety Board (NHTSA) and the American Automobile Association show that almost 13,000 people have been injured or killed since 1990 in crashes caused by aggressive driving.
Conclusion
In all of the above cases, it is important that the victim, or his or her family, take measures to preserve evidence, investigate the loss and have physicians or other expert witnesses evaluate the injuries and losses.
