Modern life involves constant motion. We use cars, motorcycles, trains, and buses to get around. There are countless delivery trucks and vans on our roads and highways every minute of every day. Unfortunately, with all of this activity, accidents will happen. The numerous car accidents on I-4 in Central Florida that goes through Orlando makes it one the most dangerous roads in America. Many car and truck accidents are due to someone else’s carelessness or negligence — and they do a lot of damage. People who are seriously injured or lose a loved one because of another person’s unsafe actions have a right to be compensated. Having the right car, truck or motorcycle accident attorneys in Central Florida can make all the difference.

FINDING THE RIGHT FLORIDA VEHICLE ACCIDENT LAWYER

Car accidents. It’s an unfortunate fact of life, but auto accidents are common occurrences that claim the lives of thousands of people nationwide every year. Nearly 40,000 died in car accidents nationwide last year, and more than 4.5 million people were injured. Car accidents also result in untold injuries and billions of dollars in property damage. A majority of automobile accidents are caused by negligent driving. The Orlando car accident attorneys at Martinez Manglardi are experts at making sure that you get maximum compensation.

Trucking accidents. While there doesn’t seem to be any alternative, mixing large delivery vehicles and passenger cars on the same roads often result in injuries and deaths. Usually, car passengers get the worst of any collision between a car and a truck. Nearly a half-million large trucks are involved in accidents annually and one out of every eight traffic fatalities is caused by a collision with a large truck. In 2015, there were 3,852 U.S. deaths from tractor-trailer accidents and more than 100,000 injuries. Causes of trucking accidents include speeding, unrealistic schedules, truck driver fatigue and 18 wheeler safety issues. The Orlando truck accident attorneys at Martinez Manglardi are experts at recovering losses.

Motorcycle accidents. Because Florida is a popular state for bikers, Florida leads the nation in motorcycle deaths. A 2015 study by AAA  showed that motorcycles are involved in 20 percent of vehicle fatalities in the state, even though they account for only three percent of registered vehicles. Many motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the motorcyclist and are often caused by inattentive drivers who fail to see the motorcycle and pull out from a side road or turn into a motorcyclist at an intersection. The Orlando motorcycle accident attorneys have been fighting for cyclist’s rights for 30 years.

INJURIES ON TRAINS, BUSES AND OTHER PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Public transportation injuries are becoming more common as an increasing number of people seek alternative ways to get around in the wake of rising gas prices. From buses to vanpools, commuter trains to light rails, as well as passenger ferries, Americans took 10.6 billion trips in 2015 using public transportation. Since 1995, public transportation ridership in the U.S. has increased by more than 32 percent. Public transportation providers are legally required to use the highest degree of care to ensure the safety of their passengers. Nevertheless, public transportation accidents happen all too often, resulting in about 250 fatalities each year — and roughly 19,000 injuries.

Drunk driving fatalities have held steady for the past 10 years. Although it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content that is 0.08 percent or higher, people continue to get behind the wheel after having too much to drink. In 2015, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving crashes. Martinez Manglardi’s Orlando car accident attorneys can hold impaired drivers accountable for the injuries and deaths they cause. In certain instances, those who served liquor to an obviously intoxicated person may be liable.
