Motor vehicle accidents are one of the top causes of personal injury claims in Florida. Due to highways like I-95 and the Florida Turnpike having high numbers of cars, trucks, trailered boats and commercial vehicles. They contribute to our area’s high rate of serious injury accidents.

South Florida’s pristine weather makes a great home for some of the nation’s most avid bicyclists, pedestrians and joggers.

Unfortunately, these vulnerable enthusiasts commonly go unnoticed by drivers, often leading to serious injury or fatality. If this has happened to you or a loved one, it is important to have your case evaluated by a qualified Florida attorney at Robes Law Group, PLLC.

Maintaining and designing safe roadways is the responsibility of state and local governments. Sometimes however, accidents are caused by dangerous intersections. These include intersections that often have a lack traffic lights, insufficient signage, uneven pavement, sharp curves, poor drainage, overgrown or poorly planned foliage that obscures visibility and other hazards. If you’ve been injured or have lost a family member in an accident involving a dangerous intersection, municipalities and state government authorities can be held liable. However, it’s important to hire an attorney who can immediately begin investigating your case. Physical evidence in these cases can quickly be changed or removed, to the detriment of your case.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Drivers who operate a vehicle while over the legal blood alcohol limit violate the law and may be more likely to be held liable than drivers involved in ordinary crashes. In addition, bars, restaurants, nightclubs and social hosts who continued to serve alcohol to a driver who caused an accident can also be held liable under certain circumstances. If you have been involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver, whether you were in a vehicle, walking, jogging or riding a bike, a drunk driving accident lawyer at Robes Law Group, PLLC may be able to help you collect the compensation you need.

Motorcycle crashes can cause serious injuries or even death for motorcyclists. While some may think that motorcyclists drive recklessly, the auto driver is more often at fault. “I didn’t see him” is not an excuse for careless driving.

Florida is a “no-fault” insurance state, meaning if you’ve been injured in a hit and run accident, your own insurance company is responsible for paying a portion of your medical costs and lost wages. However, most car, truck, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents exceed the $10,000 protection limit for PIP (personal injury protection) and PDL (property damage liability) coverage, which drivers are required to carry.

If you are uninsured or have underinsured coverage, you should be able to recover damages under these terms. However, Florida law gives insurers financial incentive to reduce the amount of compensation you receive.

Despite making up just 4% of motor vehicle crashes, rollover accidents account for one-third of motor vehicle fatalities each year. Some experts believe that rollover crashes and roof crush injuries do not need to be deadly, and lives could be saved with an improvement of just $50 per vehicle. Despite these recommendations, poor vehicle design—including seat belts, seat structures and poor roof design—can lead to serious head, neck and spine injuries, or even death.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is available as an add-on to your auto, truck or motorcycle insurance policy for a small extra premium. The coverage protects you if you are hit by a motorist who is uninsured or underinsured. This can be critical after an accident, but few people know if they have it or how to determine what it will cover.

If a driver who does not have car insurance hits you, you can use your own uninsured and underinsured coverage for your medical bills, vehicle damage and pain and suffering. If you are injured by a driver who has a small amount of coverage, but not enough to pay for all of your expenses, you can collect as much as the driver’s insurance allows and then collect the remainder from your own policy. The attorneys at Robes Law Group, PLLC are experienced in uninsured and underinsured motorist cases.

We will deal with the insurance companies to make sure you receive a fair settlement so that you can focus on your physical recovery and getting life back to normal.
