A fatal car accident is reported in Florida approximately every 8 hours. Many fatal car accidents involve single vehicles, such as this crash. In single-vehicle crashes, injured passengers may have certain rights to recover in the event that they suffer injuries at the hands of a negligent driver. Drivers owe a duty of safety and care not only to other drivers, but also those inside their vehicle. When this duty is breached, a legal claim can arise.
