Our condolences are extended to the family of the victim killed in this tragic crash. Fatal accidents are reported in Florida about every three hours. Almost all fatal collisions occur as a result of negligence on the part of at least one driver. Sadly, these accidents are largely preventable through the exercise of reasonable care and caution by motorists.
If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent acts of another, you may have a legal claim on behalf of the victim. Florida law permits the next-of-kin to file a wrongful death action against drivers whose negligence has wrongfully caused the death of a third party. To determine if you have a claim, it is important to speak with a Florida wrongful death attorney at Rubenstein Law as soon as possible.
