Miami Fatal Car Accident Lawyers
As car accident attorneys, we know that the aftermath of a devastating car accident is often unbearable when it results in the loss of a loved one. The sense of loss is overwhelming from the onset and can take years to recover from. In the blink of an eye, or the turn of a wheel, one family’s structure is forever changed. For the survivors, a sense of guilt often haunts them. However, the fatal car accident was not your fault, and the responsible party should be held liable for the resulting damages.
Florida Fatal Car Accidents
In 2022, approximately 2,500 people were killed in car accidents throughout the state in Florida. This is a small percentage compared to the total number of accidents which occur throughout the state. However, any accident which results in a fatality is one which could have been prevented, but for the actions of the responsible party.
A large percentage of the number of fatal car accidents throughout Florida was caused by the driver who operated a motor vehicle in a careless or negligent manner, followed closely by the failure of a driver to yield to a right of way. The largest number of fatal car accidents occurred in Miami-Dade County, although the largest number of fatal car accidents caused by alcohol occurred in Hillsborough County.
Personal Injury Recovery
After such a devastating loss, the remaining family is often left with a piece of their pivotal family unit missing. The responsible party may be held liable for the following damages:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Future earnings
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral expenses
The related expenses which accompany the loss of your loved one can be brought in a claim for damages. An experienced personal injury attorney will assist you during this difficult time by projecting out the amount of future wages which your loved one would have earned.
