Statistics about Hialeah Car Accidents
Florida does not have the most prestigious car safety record, by any measure. FL is perennially home to the nation's most dangerous intersections. A July 16, 2010 survey found that I-95 in Florida was one of the most deadly strips of road anywhere in North America. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that Florida's rate of fatalities per 100,000 people is significantly elevated above the national average. For instance, the US average in 2008 was 12.25 deaths per 100,000 people; in Florida, that rate was 16.25 per 100,000 people. On average, between 3,000 and 3,500 people lose their lives every year on Florida's roads.
Answers to FAQs about Hialeah Car Accidents
1. What steps should I take immediately after being in an accident?
Get out of the road and out of danger ASAP. Get medical attention if you need it (and chances are, you and your fellow passengers might need medical help, even if you "don't feel like it" at the time, since shock tends to numb one's sense of urgency). Collect as much information as you can from the scene, including names, numbers, vehicle information, insurance information, pictures of any injuries and pictures of the accident. Don't admit fault. And call the police if anyone is injured or if there is serious property damage.
2. Who might be liable for my car accident related injuries and other costs?
It all depends on how the accident occurred and what happened afterwards. Potential defendants could include the driver or drivers who hit you or caused you to get into the accident, the municipal body responsible for keeping the road safe, the manufacturer or distributor of a faulty part, and the insurance companies for all the above parties.
3. What kind of remuneration might I expect?
Depending on the nature of the case and the extent of damage and the costs of your injuries and repairs, you could collect money for property damage, medical bills, rehabilitation, time off work, legal fees and pain and suffering.
