Motor Vehicle Accidents - "Snowbirds are here"
What a caption for this blog. "The Snowbirds are here" means that the roads are full more than normal with elderly out of state drivers and I mean out of state. On the road daily you see an array of license tags from Canada to upstate US, as they have headed south for the winter, to soak up some of the Florida sunshine. With that comes the driving, some of the complaints I have heard: driving slow in the "fast lane"; unexpected stops and turns without properly notifying by indication; reversing from parking spots without ensuring that it is safe to do so, and the list can go on.
Personal injury caused by a motor vehicle accident or collision is one of the most unfortunate situations you may find yourself in. Whether you were in a rear-end collision or any type of collision you would have received damages and injuries caused by these collisions some may be serious and/ or permanent. From neck and back injuries to broken bones, and in the most unfortunate situations injuries which may cause brain damage or paralysis, damages from any motor vehicle collision can and may alter your life.
