1. Auto Accidents/ Motorcycles/ Large Trucks
Because of massive urban sprawl and virtually no infrastructure, traffic congestion and auto accidents are a growing concern. Almost every weekday there are traffic issues, particularly because there is no east-west mobility in the area. Interstate-4, one of the most dangerous roads in Florida, passes through Seminole County just east of Orlando. As a result, the area has more than its share of auto collisions, and accidents involve large trucks, and motorcycles. In fact, I-4 came in as the third deadliest highway for accidents in the nation, according to a Road Safe America.
2. Defective Product
You hear about product recalls every day. The Consumer Product Safety Commission cannot mandate a recall so the federal government encourages large corporations to recall their defective products, from toys to cribs, to automobile seat belts and defective medications. A defective product that results in injury can lead to a product liability claim that can name both the manufacturer and those companies along the distribution chain.
3. Slip and Falls
While a personal injury results when accidents or attacks harm someone physically, sometimes they are due to negligence. A Seminole County slip and fall accident is also called premises liability, because the owner of the property has a duty to keep it free of hazards for anyone who might have reason to visit the property, invited or not. Bodily injuries can result from a slip and fall accident that can result in pain, lost wages, and medical expenses.
4. Motorcycle Accidents
Many of the personal injury claims filed in Seminole County are the result of a motorcycle accident and the subsequent injury which can include traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injuries. Farah & Farah motorcycle injury attorneys in Seminole County can advise you whether your claim is valid and help you receive compensation for medical bills, the cost of rehabilitation, lost wages and in the case of a fatal accident, wrongful death benefits.
