On specific roads in Tampa, car accidents are more likely to occur:
While driver error is the main factor contributing to traffic accidents, other conditions help increase the number of traffic accidents and make these roadways dangerous. These conditions include weather, intersections, traffic congestion, and uninsured drivers.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the summer months between June and August contain 30 percent more traffic accident fatalities than the winter months between December and January. There is an increase in drivers on the road during the summer months, including a rise in young and inexperienced drivers who take more risks while driving.
A majority of traffic accidents happen at intersections. According to the Federal Highway Administration, approximately 25 percent of traffic fatalities in the United States occur at intersections. Traffic accidents happen at intersections due to irresponsible actions like failing to yield the right of way or stopping at red or yellow lights.
The more drivers present on the roadways, the more likely it is for a traffic accident to happen. Traffic congestion affects the normal flow of traffic. Drivers who ignore the changes in traffic are at risk of causing severe traffic accidents.
According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), Florida is a state that contains the highest rate of uninsured drivers in the United States. Uninsured drivers might be more reckless as their disregard for the law might make them more likely to engage in other unlawful and dangerous behaviors while driving.
Victims of severe traffic accidents can acquire catastrophic injuries that will impact themselves and their families for the rest of their lives. Unlike victims who are injured temporarily and only need compensation for a specific amount of time, catastrophic injury victims will need compensation for the rest of their lives. Catastrophic injuries often result in permanent disabilities for victims. Some of the damages that catastrophic injury victims are entitled to include medical treatment, lost income, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Catastrophic injury victims will need lifelong medical services to continue functioning. These necessary medical services can range from prescription medications, rehabilitative services, and medical devices. Catastrophic injury victims must pursue compensation for past and future medical treatments.
Every aspect of a catastrophic injury victim’s life will be affected by the injury, including their ability to work. The victim will have to come to terms with the loss of their ability to make a living. Losing the ability to work can also cause additional stress for the victim, as medical expenses can continue to add up.
Catastrophic injury victims must come to terms with various changes caused by their injury. Losing independence, missing out on past hobbies and activities, and dealing with a new form of dependence can cause victims to experience emotional distress. It can also be challenging to deal with an injury caused by another person’s careless actions.

Catastrophic injuries can cause victims to experience severe emotional and physical trauma. The road to recovery can be costly and emotional. Victims with catastrophic injuries will have to rely on medical services for the rest of their lives, including the need for medical devices and personal care services.

Moving forward will be extremely difficult no matter how you embrace your new injury. While trying to pick up the pieces, the last thing on your mind is hiring a lawyer and pursuing legal action against the negligent parties. However, contacting a Tampa catastrophic injury lawyer as soon as possible is in your best interest for several reasons. The first is that you have a limited time to file a claim against the responsible party.
One of the main reasons to seek the legal help of a catastrophic injury lawyer is to seek the help of someone who can assist you with fighting corrupt insurance agencies. An experienced catastrophic injury lawyer knows how to negotiate with insurance adjusters whose main priority is to search for reasons to deny your claim.
Even if their policyholders are obviously liable for your catastrophic injuries, insurance adjusters will find ways to deny your claims. Some insurance adjusters will insult you by insinuating that your injuries are exaggerated or that you were the negligent party responsible for your injuries.
Insurance companies will do whatever is necessary to minimize the financial compensation you deserve. They may even attempt to lowball you and offer a smaller settlement than you requested to settle the matter. A seasoned Tampa catastrophic injury lawyer can help protect you from the corrupt tactics that insurance companies practice.
There are money damages available to those who suffer from financial hardships due to incurred medical bills, loss of wages and other effects that a serious injury can have.

Florida Statutes Section 95.11 states that victims of catastrophic injury have four years to file a claim against the negligent parties. The statute of limitations begins from the date of the accident. If you fail to file a claim within the designated period, you lose your right to pursue legal action against the negligent party.
Although brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are the primary catastrophic injuries caused by traffic accidents, there are other devastating injuries that you are at risk of enduring.
Other catastrophic injuries include:
Depending on the circumstances of your traffic accident, multiple parties can be held liable for your catastrophic injury. If your catastrophic injury occurred when you were the victim of a multi-car pile-up accident, various drivers might be liable for your damages.
If you were the truck accident victim, you can hold the truck driver and the trucking company liable for your injuries. If a motorcyclist was the at-fault driver in your accident, the motorcyclist can be responsible for your catastrophic injury.
