Personal Injury Wolf
Florida is a hub of commerce for interstate and intrastate trucking companies. Interstate 95 runs from South Florida all the way to the Florida Georgia Border. Interstate 75 runs from South Florida all the way to the Florida Georgia Border through the heart of the State. Finally, Interstate 10 runs from Jacksonville on the Eastside of the state all the way through Pensacola and onward to the Florida Alabama Border. With these roadways and others, you will commonly see 18 wheelers, other commercial vehicles, and, yes, trucking accidents. Some of these trucking accidents result in serious injuries to driver and occupants of passenger vehicles which by their size and weight are no match for any collision with a heavy duty semi tractor trailer or commercial vehicle.
A recent crash was reported on Interstate 10 that involved a passenger vehicle and a semi tractor trailer. It was reported that an 18 year old young man (Shawn Back) from the Atlanta area (Suwanee, Georgia) died. He was a passenger in a Honda CRV that was driven by Shin Ok. The collision between the Honda CRV and the truck took place near the exit for Highway 301. The semi tractor trailer was pulling out of an emergency lane at the time of the crash.
Florida is a comparative fault state. In other words, a case can be brought by the injury victim OR the family of the deceased injury victim even in situations where there is a percentage of fault attributed to two or more drivers. In other words, a legal case can still be brought even if the fault or liability is not completely 100 % on one particular driver.
In the State of Florida, millions of adults and children visit theme parks and amusement parks every year. Most visits are filled with fun and the “magic” of being in a wonderful make believe world filled with characters, rides, candy, junk food, and music. At times, a visit to a Florida amusement park or theme park can be quite different when an adult or child is injured as a result of the negligence of the theme park and its staff. It should be pointed out that an amusement park or theme park is not liable every time there is an incident or injury. In other words, an amusement park or theme park is not an insurer of the safety of the guests. The theme park / amusement park has a duty to provide and maintain a reasonably safe environment for the guests – many of which include children.
