Fatal / Deadly Car Accident

A simple drive down the street OR a longer drive down an expressway can end horribly in the form of a fatal or deadly car accident. Florida law clearly designates a motor vehicle as a "dangerous instrumentality". On a daily basis, drivers, passengers, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians are injured as a result of a car accident. Tragically, many injury victims die as a result of the negligence, carelessness, and fault of other drivers. There are a number of ways in which a car accident can take place. When a person dies as a result of an automobile accident, there is a loss and ripple effect though the family, neighborhood, and community. In the State of Florida, Chapter 768, Florida contains the Florida Wrongful Death Act. It proscribes the manner and method in which a wrongful death case can be brought to pursue compensation and damages in the State of Florida. There are many twists and turns in the handling and pursuit of a wrongful death case. Attorney David Wolf handles Jacksonville fatal car accident cases and other personal injury cases throughout the State of Florida.

Even when a person dies as a result of a fatal accident, the insurance companies will attempt to avoid liability or responsibility for payment of compensation to the surviving family members. Often, the insurance coverage is quite limited and the available insurance proceeds are truly insufficient to compensate the surviving family members. When handling a wrongful death case, it is important to identify all potential liable drivers, vehicle owners, businesses, and government entities. It is also important to identify all available sources of compensation including the coverage for the at-fault driver and owner and the coverages (if any) for Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist benefits.

When there is a fatality that results from a car accident, there is a death or homicide investigation completed by the Florida Highway Patrol and / or local law enforcement. The report contains detailed information as to the details of the crash including measurements, points of impact, estimated speeds, and fault or liability for the crash. It should be noted that the results or findings of the traffic report are not binding on the pursuit of the civil case. A family can retain its own attorney and accident reconstruction expert to pursue the case or claim for wrongful death. David Wolf is an attorney, author, and advocate.
