Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Lawyer
In most cases, it is another driver on the road who was driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol, speeding, texting, or simply not paying attention who is considered liable for the crash. There are circumstances when other parties can also be found responsible (i.e., you can file a third-party insurance claim). These include:
- Vehicle owner: If the car was being driven by someone who did not own it, and the owner knowingly lent their car to a driver who is reckless or unlicensed.
- Employer: If a delivery, Uber/Lyft or truck driver was on the clock and using a company car when the accident happened.
- Car manufacturers: If a defect in one of the cars caused it to crash, e.g., damaged brakes or airbags.
- Local government: If the city or county failed to properly take care of the road, e.g., unclear signage or big potholes.
- Bars or restaurants: If a bar serves alcohol to someone who is clearly drunk, and that person causes an accident, the bar could be held liable under Florida’s “dram shop” laws.
- Pedestrians or cyclists: If someone on foot or a bicycle was not following the traffic rules and that contributed to the collision.
- Construction companies: If the accident occurred in a construction zone, the company responsible for the site could be liable if they did not follow safety regulations or properly signal changes in the road.

In nautical terms, Iesha was definitely the navigator! Steered me through the whole process, and kept it simple. From the initial meeting, to the end, the sense of confidence prevailed. All questions answered, and additional requests for documentation happily provided at final meeting. Thank you Warren Peebles.
