Auto accidents can happen to anyone. Every year millions of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents, many very seriously. You can protect your legal rights by doing the right thing after an accident occurs.

The first thing you should do after your car has been involved in a collision is stop the car as close as possible to the point of impact without obstructing traffic. Leaving the scene of an accident is subject to criminal prosecution. After stopping, remain at the scene of the accident to aid the injured, protect the scene, report to the police and gather information.

Under Florida Law, when the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, or negligence of any person, including those occurring on navigable waters, and the event would have entitled the person injured to maintain an action and recover damages if death had not ensued, the person that would have been liable for damages had death not ensued shall be liable for damages as specified in the Florida Wrongful Death Act. Wrongful Death occurs when a person dies due to the negligence of another.
