Zephyrhills, FL Wrong Way Driver Accident Lawyers for Injury & Wrongful Death
When another driver enters the roadway in the wrong direction the safety of everyone traveling alongside them is in jeopardy. Wrong-way driving can be extremely hazardous because it often leads to catastrophic head-on auto collisions that can be deadly.
Most head-on collisions can be attributed to driver distraction in some form or fashion. Injuries from these accidents can include bone fractures, internal injuries, hemorrhaging and contusions, head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other traumatic injuries or death. In order to prove that a wrong-way driver was distracted, several forms of negligence must be proved: Duty, Breach of Duty, Proximate Cause and Injury. All four of these elements must be proved with sufficient evidence to recover compensation for damages. At Whittel & Melton, our staff is more than able to gather facts and evidence on your behalf and build a successful case.
