Auto Accident Attorney
Serving West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Lake Worth and the Port St. Lucie area
Auto accidents happen every day across Florida and the United States. Most result in occupants suffering primarily minor injuries. However, in 2005, the NHTSA reported that more than 37,000 drivers and passengers were killed as the result of auto accidents in the U.S. with approximately 10% of those fatalities in Florida.
Most people understand what is involved when you have been in a minor fender bender, but very few understand the complexities surrounding a fatal auto accident. It is no longer a minor inconvenience while your car is in the shop. Instead, you are left to deal with the loss of your family member while struggling to deal with regular daily tasks, as well as how the loss will affect your future.

West Palm Beach Attracts Traffic
South Florida has always attracted tourists and travelers from around the world. More visitors mean more traffic on already busy highways like I-95 and others. More traffic means more likelihood that accidents will happen. Sadly, a small percentage of these will be fatal. While the majority of these fatalities are the drivers or passengers of the vehicles involved, about 7% are pedestrians or bicyclists killed due to car accidents or truck accidents.
Following the accident, the surviving family members must not only try to cope with their loss, but they must also deal with the financial aspects of the loss. Most immediately, there will be costly medical bills and funeral expenses to pay for. In many cases, there might be some coverage through your own auto insurance policy but certainly not enough to cover everything. Dealing with the insurance company representing the negligent party can also be very stressful. Naturally, it will be in their best interest to settle for as little as possible. However, it may be not enough of a financial settlement to handle future concerns such as the loss of future earnings or companionship.
