INJURY DUE TO ROAD DEBRIS

Daily on the road across South Florida we see debris whether it been pieces of rubber to sometimes even larger items that can cause serious injury to drivers on the road. We have had victims of these types of accidents contact our office seeking legal counsel. Victims of these types of injuries sometimes don't realize that they can file a claim as they are uncertain of exactly who is responsible.

A couple years ago a father and daughter was travelling south on the I-95 between Oakland Park Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard when a piece of metal pipe flew thru the front windscreen of their car stabbing his daughter in the shoulder. She was rushed to Broward General where doctors removed the metal pipe. In a case like this the victim's family should immediately seek legal counsel to know their legal rights.

Being an attorney practicing personal injury law in Fort Lauderdale, I would recommend to the family to retain all medical bills that his daughter had incurred due to her injury to support her claim along with the accident report from the police. Their retained attorney will review the documents that they have provided and advise whether they are able to file a claim and exactly who they should be filing the claim against.

Should you or a loved one find yourself in a similar situation always seek legal counsel to ensure you are properly compensated. Contact us online or call us at 954 431 8100 or 305 624 9186 to set up a FREE consultation to discuss your legal options.
