A reportable accident happens every 92 seconds in Florida.  Fatal crashes occur approximately every 8 hours.  A fatal crash has devastating and long-lasting effects on the loved ones left behind.  In a fatal car accident, police will seek to determine which driver is at fault.  When a person dies to someone else's negligence, a Florida wrongful death attorney may be able to assist the deceased's family members in bringing a wrongful death action.
