Orlando Car Accident Lawyer Blog

As Orlando car accident lawyers, we are saddened by the tragic car accident that claimed the lives of four high school students. Last June 5, nine students from a Florida high school were driving to the beach in a 1997 Ford Explorer, when the vehicle overturned, killing four. In the aftermath, it became clear that several companies connected with the truck may be responsible.

Cooper Tire and Rubber Company and Ford Motor Company are two defendants named in the lawsuit. In addition, an auto repair company had recently serviced the SUV and may have responsibility; as well as, the company that sold the vehicle. Certainly, there have been many cases involving roll-over accidents which directly result from the design defect of the SUV.

As a father of four, the loss of any children really hits home. What is especially troubling about this situation is that it appears to continue to repeat itself. These types of rollover accidents can be addressed with proper design and safety engineering. Our children and families deserve such safety engineering. Profits should not be put above consumer safety.

For more information, you can read the Florida car accident book, Seeking Justice: An Insider's Guide for the Injured. When I wrote this book, I hoped it would help people involved in a car accident protect themselves from insurance company adjusters and understand the important issues before it is too late. I also wanted to provide a solid method for injured people to find the right lawyer. From the reviews we have received, it has done just that. For anyone injured in a Florida car accident, a Free copy of this book can be a great place to start.

Choosing well-qualified, caring doctors quickly is important for your health and for your car accident claims. As Orlando car accident lawyers, many of our clients have no health insurance; many have no doctor; and, they do not know where they should go for medical care following a car accident. We interact with the best medical doctors in the Orlando area; and, we can provide critical guidance when it counts.
The sad truth is many doctors refuse to see car accident victims, especially those without insurance. Many doctors also work for auto insurance companies, making thousands of dollars examining car accident victims and "discounting" the injuries suffered. If you innocently choose one of these “insurance or defense” doctors, you will have little opportunity to receive full and fair compensation for your injury. As a medical doctor and lawyer, Dr. Walter Ward knows which doctors genuinely care to help car accident victims. Do not run the risk of going to the wrong place for your medical care.

You should also know that those “car accident & injury clinics” like the TV lawyer advertisers need lots of "clients" to pay for all that advertising. Do you want to go where the focus is on profit or patient care? You should NOT be treated like a number by your doctor or your lawyer. You deserve the best medical care and the best legal representation. While we can not represent everyone that asks us, our goal is to make a huge difference for those who we do represent. Our results, including a $30 million verdict here in Orlando, demonstrate that hiring the right lawyer, right from the start, may help you reach your goal to win the highest award you deserve.
