Hernando County Auto Accident Attorney :: Orlando Man Killed in Spring Hill Pedestrian Car Accident

May 20, 2013

A 50-year-old Orlando man was killed early Sunday morning after being struck by a car while standing on a road in Spring Hill.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the man was standing on Northcliffe Boulevard when he was hit around 3:28 a.m. by a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta travelling westbound.

The collision that took place near Hayes Street sent the man onto the grass median. FHP said the man died at the scene.

The 25-year-old driver of New Port Richey was not harmed nor was his passenger, 24, of Trinity.

As of now, charges are pending in the case.

Insurance adjusters for pedestrian auto accidents tend to move rather quickly in these types of cases, so you should too. Their job is to look for ways to avoid paying you full and fair financial compensation. Insurance companies have many tricks up their sleeves and will certainly try and take advantage of the fact that you may not have a full understanding of the financial compensation you are entitled to. A Hernando County Auto Accident Lawyer at Whittel & Melton can help you understand how much compensation you should receive and make sure the insurance company does to try and trick you into accepting an offer that is much less than what your case is actually worth.
