One Killed, Four Injured in Horrific Palm Beach County Car Accident

Mon, Dec 26, 2011

Posted in: Auto Accident, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

When Florida car accidents occur and two vehicles collide, the force of that impact can be devastating for anyone who is involved in such an incident.  In addition, these dangerous situations only become more dangerous if one of the vehicles involved in a crash catches on fire and people are inside.  Tragically, that appears to be what occurred in a Palm Beach County car accident over the weekend that killed one person and injured four others.

According to the authorities, this fatal Palm Beach County car accident occurred early on Saturday morning, at approximately 6:45 a.m.  The driver of what was described as a red four-door vehicle crashed into another car on Military Trail, just north of Community Drive.  The vehicle that was hit soon burst into flames, and the person who was inside of it was trapped and killed.  Four occupants of the four-door sedan were also injured and transported to a nearby hospital.  None of the names of those involved were released.

First and foremost, we’d like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person who was killed in this Palm Beach County car accident.  We also hope that the people who were injured in this crash are able to recover from the harm they have suffered quickly and fully.  In addition, this crash will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Florida car accidents.  Every year, 200,000 people are injured and 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.

Clearly, much more information would be needed before any assignment of fault could be made with regards to this fatal Palm Beach County car accident.  If, however, the driver who hit the other is found to be at fault for the crash, it could lead to the filing of a Florida wrongful death lawsuit against that driver by the family of the man who was killed.  If such a claim is filed and is successful, it could lead to the award of damages that compensates the family for their losses.

Woman Arrested After Seriously Injuring Bicyclist in Suspected Lake Worth DUI Accident

Fri, Dec 23, 2011

Posted in: Auto Accident, Bicycle Accidents, Brain Injury, Personal Injury

Bicyclists and motorists must share the roads in Florida on a daily basis, and when they do so traffic tends to flow without incident.  However, when a motorist makes a mistake or acts in a reckless manner and causes a Florida bicycle accident that leads to an injury, that driver can face serious legal consequences.  This is especially so when that motorist has been consuming intoxicants.  Sadly, that’s what could transpire in the wake of a Lake Worth bicycle accident that left one person critically injured and the motorist under arrest.

According to the authorities, this Lake Worth bicycle accident occurred on Wednesday at approximately 12:15 p.m.  A male bicyclist was riding his bicycle in a westbound direction on Lake Worth Road when he was hit from behind by a female motorist as the two approached Corrigan Court.  The bicyclist was thrown onto the vehicle’s windshield and he suffered what appears to be a traumatic brain injury.  The driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI-related charges.

Florida Bicycle Accident Statistics

First and foremost, we’d like to offer our thoughts and our support for the man who was so seriously injured in this Lake Worth bicycle accident.  We hope that he is able to survive the harm he has suffered and to overcome it quickly and fully.  In addition, this suspected Lake Worth DUI accident will now  become part of the overall statistics regarding Florida bicycle accidents.  Every year, nearly 5,000 of these crashes occur, leading to more than 4,000 injuries and to nearly 100 fatalities.

Florida Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers

Clearly, the driver involved in this suspected Lake Worth DUI accident could face serious criminal charges.  She could also face a Florida personal injury lawsuit if the injured bicyclist chooses to initiate such a filing.  If he does and his legal claim is ultimately successful, it could lead to an award of damages that compensates the man for his medical costs, his lost income and his pain and suffering.

Posted in: Auto Accident, Florida Injury Attorney, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

When people drive negligently or recklessly and they cause a Florida car accident, they can be sued and held liable for damages as a result of a Florida personal injury lawsuit.  However, it’s also possible for such a legal claim to become a Florida wrongful death lawsuit if someone fights for his or her life and ultimately succumbs to those injuries.  Tragically, that’s what could occur in response to a Boynton Beach car accident that ultimately took the life of a woman who fought her injuries for nearly a week.

According to the authorities, this Boynton Beach car accident occurred on December 7 when an 18-year-old driver was moving in a southbound direction in his Ford SUV on Military Trail when he ran through a red light at Old Boynton Road.  As a result of this mishap, he crashed into the Hyundai being driven by a couple that had been married for 65 years.  The wife fought for her life as a result of the injuries sustained, but ultimately lost her courageous battle last week.

Almost every statistical study that exists with regards to Florida car accidents or crashes that occur anywhere else indicates that distracted drivers are among the leading causes of crashes.  Anything that takes a motorists’ eyes off the road for even one second can instantly lead to disaster.  Unfortunately, police suspect that a distracted driver who is also a resident of West Palm Beach was the cause of a Kissimmee car accident that took the life of another woman.

According to the authorities, this fatal Kissimmee car accident occurred on Monday at approximately 2:50 p.m.  Both vehicles involved in the crash were moving in a southbound direction on Florida’s Turnpike near mile marker 237 near St. Cloud.  The female resident of West Palm Beach drifted from her lane into another vehicle when she went to change a CD.  The collision caused the other vehicle to flip over onto its roof, and a 63-year-old woman was killed in the crash.

One Killed, Four Injured in Suspected Palm Beach Gardens DUI Accident

Fri, Sep 30, 2011

Posted in: Auto Accident, Florida Injury Attorney, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

Drinking and driving is always a bad decision, and when someone consumes alcohol and then gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, they create risk for themselves and for other motorists.  They also create danger for their passengers, and tragically we saw once again what can happen as a result of this conduct.  Police believe that alcohol was a factor in a suspected Palm Beach Gardens DUI accident last night that took the life of one person and sent four others to a hospital with serious injuries.

According to the authorities, this suspected Palm Beach Gardens DUI accident occurred last night at approximately 11:40 p.m.  The 19-year-old female driver of a Kia was moving in a westbound direction on Northlake Boulevard when she attempted to execute a U-turn near Hiatt Drive/Alister Boulevard.  As she did so, she pulled into the path of an oncoming Ford Explorer.  The two vehicles collided, and the front-seat passenger in the Kia, also a 19-year-old girl, was killed.  The drivers of both vehicles and both passengers of the Explorer were injured along with one other person.

Florida Car Accident Statistics

First and foremost, we’d like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the young person who was killed in this suspected Palm Beach Gardens DUI accident.  Losing a life at 19 years old is truly a tragedy.  In addition, this crash will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Florida car accidents.  Every year, 200,000 people are injured and another 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.

If it turns out that the driver of the Kia had been drinking, she could face serious criminal charges.  She could also face Florida personal injury lawsuits filed by those who were injured and a Florida wrongful death lawsuit if the family of the person who was killed decides to take such a step.  If these claims are filed and are successful, the plaintiffs could recover damages for their losses.

FHP Trooper, Woman Injured in West Palm Beach Car Accident

Tue, Sep 27, 2011

Posted in: Auto Accident, Florida Injury Attorney, Personal Injury

Dealing with turns at intersections is something that all of us need to do on a regular basis, whether we are the one turning or we see someone turning across our lane of traffic.  Unfortunately, when one or both motorists misjudges that situation, it can lead to serious problems.  That appears to be what occurred yesterday morning when both a woman and a Florida Highway Patrol officer were injured in a West Palm Beach car accident that occurred at an intersection.

According to the authorities, this West Palm Beach car accident occurred yesterday at approximately 6:35 a.m.  A 64-year-old woman was driving a Hyundai sedan in a westbound direction on Summit Boulevard.  As she approached the intersection with Davis Road, she attempted to turn left.  However, an FHP trooper was approaching in his cruiser in the opposite direction, and a collision ensued.  Both drivers were transported to a nearby hospital with what were described as serious injuries.

Florida Car Accident Statistics

First and foremost, we’d like to express our hope that the people who were injured in this West Palm Beach car accident are both able to recover from the harm they have suffered quickly and fully.  In addition, this crash will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Florida car accidents.  Every year, 200,000 people are injured and another 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.

West Palm Beach Car Accident Lawyers

It seems clear that fault will be assigned in this West Palm Beach car accident when investigators determine which driver had the right-of-way.  If the driver of the Hyundai turned in front of the cruiser, she could be at fault.  If not, the officer could be responsible for the crash.  Situations like these often lead to the filing of a Florida personal injury lawsuit, and a successful plaintiff will be awarded damages that compensate that party for medical costs, lost income and pain and suffering.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a crash, you need to seek the help of West Palm Beach personal injury lawyers who have been fighting for the rights of the injured for many years.  Contact Bernstein & Maryanoff today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Two Men Killed in Single-Vehicle Palm Beach County Car Accident

Wed, Sep 21, 2011

Posted in: Auto Accident, Florida Injury Attorney, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

When drivers get behind the wheel of a vehicle, they owe a legal duty of care to anyone who may be affected by their decisions made and actions taken while that vehicle is moving.  This clearly includes any passengers the driver is transporting.  While much remains in the way of an investigation, it seems possible that this legal duty was violated by a driver when both he and his passenger were killed in a single-vehicle Palm Beach County car accident over the weekend.

According to the authorities, this single-vehicle Palm Beach County car accident occurred on Sunday morning at approximately 8:40 a.m.  A 29-year-old man was driving a Chevrolet sedan in a northbound direction on Teddar Street.  As the vehicle approached a curve near the 1800 block of the road, the driver failed to negotiate it and wound up driving into a canal.  The car flipped while in flight, and both of the occupants were unable to escape.

Florida Car Accident Statistics

First and foremost, we’d like to offer our most sincere condolences to the families and friends of the people who were killed in this Palm Beach County car accident.  Losing two young lives as a result of a simple mistake is always a tragedy.  In addition, this crash will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Florida car accidents.  Every year, 200,000 people are injured and 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.

West Palm Beach Wrongful Death Lawyers

There are times when enforcing the legal rights of someone who has been killed can seem cold and harsh, but the fact of the matter is that if the driver was at fault for this Palm Beach County car accident, the passenger who was killed does have those rights.  If the family of the passenger were to file a Florida wrongful death action against the estate of the driver, they could stand to recover damages that compensate them for their losses.

Passenger Killed, Both Drivers Seriously Injured in Riviera Beach Car Accident

Wed, Aug 17, 2011

Posted in: Auto Accident, Florida Injury Attorney, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

Executing a turn from one street to another is something that most motorists tend to take for granted, but it’s a maneuver that requires accurate calculations in terms of speed and available space.  When a mistake is made making a turn, what would otherwise be a forgettable situation can instantly turn into a disaster.  Tragically, police suspect that some sort of mistake was made in this regard yesterday that led to a Riviera Beach car accident.  Both drivers involved in the crash were seriously injured and a passenger in one of the vehicles was killed.

According to the authorities, this fatal Riviera Beach car accident occurred yesterday at just after 8 a.m. when the driver of a Mazda attempted to turn onto Congress Avenue from Cheney Way near 45th Street.  As the driver did so, the Mazda was hit by an oncoming Hyundai sedan.  A 67-year-old passenger in one of the vehicles was killed, and both drivers were transported to a nearby hospital.

Florida Car Accident Statistics

First and foremost, we’d like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the man who was killed, and we hope that the drivers who were injured in this Riviera Beach car accident are able to overcome the harm they have suffered.  In addition, this crash will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Florida car accidents.  Every year, 200,000 people are injured and 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.

Florida Wrongful Death Lawyers

Clearly, more information would be necessary in order to be able to assign fault to one of the drivers or to apportion fault between the two of them.  However, it’s likely that the passenger had no fault in this Riviera Beach car accident, which means that it’s possible that the family of the man who was killed could file a Florida wrongful death lawsuit against the party or parties at fault in an attempt to recover their losses.
