Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Lawyers

Car accidents are one of the most common ways that people get injured in Florida, specifically Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is a city north of Miami and located in Broward County. With almost 200,000 people in the city, Fort Lauderdale has become a hotspot for young people to work and move into. Even though some car accidents end up in nothing more than just some property damage and the car in the shop, about half of car accidents end up in injury and more than just property damage. The worst part is when it’s not your fault. Getting injured at the hands of another person’s negligence is quite terrible. The accident wasn’t even your fault, yet you’re injured and your life is currently on hold (depending on how severe your injuries were). Things like surgery, treatment, and therapy can cause you to lose time off work, lose your job, or just lose your ability to earn income at that moment or for a very long time. This confusing and painful consequence can leave you truly wondering if you can recover or are even eligible for financial compensation.

Truck Crashes in Fort Lauderdale

Although truck accidents and car accidents may seem the same because they are both vehicles, an accident involving a truck in Fort Lauderdale can get complicated because the truck is not owned by the truck driver at times.

Accidents With Public Transportation

Public transportation like buses are generally safe. The bus drivers have years of experience, the routes are fairly safe and it is rare that a bus driver has to drive for extensive amounts of time on a highway (which is where a large percentage of accidents happen in Fort Lauderdale). If you or loved one got struck by a bus or got injured WHILE riding the bus, our accident lawyers in Fort Lauderdale can give you the legal guidance to pursue the next step. The most important factor in an accident case, but especially in an accident involving public transportation, is determining liability. Liability is basically determining who is at fault for the accident. Without determining liability, there is no case. If you feel like the accident was caused by another party, whether it was the bus driver or another driver, call an accident lawyer for legal guidance.

Slip and Fall Accidents in Fort Lauderdale

Slip and fall accidents are when you literally slip and fall because of the negligence of another party. The negligence can be that they failed to put up a sign to warn of a defective floor. Slippery floor, broken floor, the problems can range in a wide variety. Your accidents aren’t limited to just slip and falls though. These are also known as premises liability accidents. It basically means that your personal injury happened on another person or entity’s property. For example, the apartment complex you live at suddenly has a crack in the sidewalk you walk on everyday. Because you didn’t know of the crack and there was no warning, you tripped on the crack and you got injured heavily. Broken bones, cuts and bruises, the full 9 yards. This kind of accident is known as a premises liability accident. A personal injury lawyer can help you get the legal guidance you may need to legally fight the entity at fault.

Pedestrian Accidents in Fort Lauderdale

Pedestrian accidents are common in Florida. Roads in Florida are wide and allow for cars to drive at fast speeds.

Bicycle Accidents in Fort Lauderdale

We talked about motorcycles, but bicyclists are also a victim of accidents in Fort Lauderdale. Similar to motorcycles and also pedestrians, bicycles are fun to ride and provide lots of flexibility and mobility while on the road. However, they also have the downsides of both motorcycles and pedestrians. Similar to motorcycles, bicycles have zero protection from any sort of impact or damage. Even a minor hit will send you flying off the bike. On the other hand, just like pedestrians, bicycles get their own lane as well. However, it is still dangerous because of how wide roads are and how fast drivers are on the road. With all these factors in mind, it is still imperative that drivers don’t breach their duty to keep the safety of the road. If you feel like you or a loved one was injured out of the negligence of another driver, contact a bicycle accident lawyer in Fort Lauderdale for a free consultation to get legal guidance.

Uber Accidents in Miami and Lyft Accidents in Miami

Ride sharing has become much more popular throughout the last few years. Lots of people now choose to use Uber or Lyft in Miami to commute to/from work. However, this also leads to more Uber/Lyft accidents in Miami. Uber/Lyft drivers are not exceptional drivers or exempt from car accidents in Miami. They are also victims to distractions, weather conditions, and accidents. The chances of an accident from an Uber are possibly lower because they are required to have little to no accidents on their records. In addition, they must go through certain background checks so that the companies can see that they are mildly qualified to drive others around in any condition. Even with these precautionary measures put in place, if you or a loved one got injured as a result of your Uber/Lyft driver being negligent, an Uber/Lyft accident lawyer from Hancock Gaeta, P.A. can provide legal guidance for you.
