WHAT DOES THE FLORIDA LAW REQUIRE FROM YOU'RE IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT?

Posted By Legally Pink Law || 17-Dec-2012

If it’s been a few years since you waiting in line at the DMV to take your driver’s test and are fuzzy on some of the rules of the road Legally Pink Law wants to help refresh your memory and offer any assistance you may need if you are involved in an automobile or motorcycle accident.

According to the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, “5,075 of the traffic accidents in Orange County were in Orlando Florida. Approximately 5.9% of these crashes were alcohol related in Orlando accounting for 297 alcohol related crashes in 2004.”

So what do you do if you are involved in an accident? First and foremost you must stop. “If you leave the scene of an accident that involves injuries without providing the other party with your information your license may be revoked. You must give your name, address, and vehicle registration number to others involved in the accident. If anyone has been hurt in the accident, you are required to get help,” AllAboutCarAccidents.com explained.

According to the Florida DMV, “Florida has close to 250,000 vehicle crashes every year and most common cause is careless driving, which means the driver was not driving taking into account curves, width of road, traffic, corners, the grade of the road (steepness), and other conditions that effect driving.” You must also report the traffic accident, if the car accident involves injuries of property damage over $500. In these situations you should call the local police department, sheriff, or the Florida Highway Patrol. If an officer investigates the accident they will file a report.

Although being involved in an accident brings about chaos and confusion, don’t forget to move the vehicles out of the way of oncoming traffic. If you are unable to move the vehicle yourself, you are required to get help or call a tow truck. When a driver that broke traffic laws has caused an automobile accident, the investigating officer will file charges against the offending driver. If you are charged in a traffic accident you will have the opportunity to explain what happened in court and The Salzmann Firm will be happy to discuss the details of your case and see how we can best accommodate you.
