Who doesn’t love the drive down to the Florida Keys? Surrounded by vibrant blue water, white sandy beaches, and plenty of natural scenery, the drive can be as relaxing as the Keys. But with U.S. Highway 1 being the only road in and out, traffic can be a nightmare. Impatient, intoxicated, or distracted drivers can cause serious accidents that may result in fatalities. Over the past ten years, the fatality rate for accidents on U.S. Highway 1 is higher than any other major highway, making it the most dangerous highway in the country.
Devastated families who have lost a loved one in a car crash often struggle with grief and sadness. If the accident was the fault of the other driver, it makes us angry to know that someone else’s negligence or reckless behavior caused this horrible tragedy. In addition to the emotional impact an unexpected death can have, the financial impact on the surviving family members can be devastating. The financial burden of medical bills and funeral costs can squeeze a family budget. If the victim was the primary income producer in a family, the loss of income can place an extreme financial burden on a family. If you have lost a loved one in a car accident that was someone else’s fault, your family may be entitled to recover damages through a wrongful death suit.
