Facts About Florida Car Accidents

Facts About Florida Car Accidents

In 2013, Florida had the third highest number of fatalities caused by car accidents in the United States, with more than 2,400 people dying in crashes. If you and your family were harmed in a collision, our Orlando car accident attorneys can listen to your story and advise you whether or not you have a viable claim against the careless driver.

According to the most recent data released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of car accident fatalities across the country dropped slightly year over year. Unfortunately, more than 32,000 people still lost their lives in vehicle collisions.

In Florida, surviving family members must initiate a wrongful death claim within two years of a loved one’s passing. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you and your family might be entitled to compensation for damages such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical expenses accrued before death
  • Funeral costs
  • Lost wages and benefits
  • Expected future income
  • Loss of companionship

According to the Red Cross, up to 100 pints of blood can be necessary to treat car accident injuries. January is National Blood Donor Month, and the importance of donating blood can’t be overstated: If 100 people donated, it could literally be the difference between life and death for someone who suffered severe injuries in a crash.

We recognize that the sudden death of a family member is traumatic, and our Orlando car accident attorneys are prepared to provide knowledgeable, compassionate guidance throughout the course of your claim. Please contact Colling Gilbert Wright or call (407) 712-7300 today for a free evaluation of your case.
