Tamarac

Tamarac began as a small country club, built in the 1960’s. Since then, large-scale development and an influx of Americans and Caribbean islanders moved to the city. Today, Tamarac is a a large but quiet suburban town that spans western Broward county. The Tamarac car accident lawyers at The Ansara Law Firm have handled hundreds of cases in Tamarac and the surrounding areas. The most common kinds of personal injury cases we see are car accidents. In 2014, Broward County had a reported 34,000 car accidents within county lines, accounting for 14% of the state of Florida’s total crashes. We handle a variety of cases pertaining to car accidents, such as:

• Commercial vehicle accidents
• Public vehicle accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Drunk driving accident
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Bicycle Accidents
• Scooter/moped accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Accidents due to poor road design

Injuries sustained in automotive crashes can range in severity from mild bruises and mild psychological trauma, all the way to permanent disabilities or death. Our attorneys have handled both kinds of cases and everything in between. Unfortunately, car accidents are a common occurrence in South Florida. Anyone who has driven on I-95 before or after work during the week has personally witnessed the sheer volume of drivers commuting on a daily basis. Floridians typically drive very fast, so when you increase the number of drivers who are all used to driving at high speeds, it makes for a dangerous environment on the road. Most accidents are caused by a driver’s negligent behavior. Cell phone use, driving recklessly, and simply not paying attention are the most common forms of negligent driving that ultimately lead to crashes. The legal definition of negligence implies that someone did not exercise a reasonable amount of care that is typically associated with the activity performed. For instance, a parent who leaves their child inside a car while they go to the bar and drink could be charged with criminal negligence because he/she shirked the responsibilities associated with caring for a child. Common examples of negligence that lead to accidents include:

• Driving distracted
• Texting and driving
• Driving under the influence
• Road rage
• Inexperienced drivers
• Driver fatigue

Things like driver fatigue and texting while driving seem mundane and commonplace, but the consequences could potentially be fatal. Not only is texting and driving illegal, but it can carry some severe consequences for those involved. In 2011, a Kansas City teenager was charged with involuntary manslaughter after she struck and killed a 72 year old who was driving in the opposite direction. The Tamarac car accident attorneys at The Ansara Law Firm have seen several cases with similar end results, and know that these events can be traumatic and devastating for the victims and their families. Cars are powerful machines, and require a great deal of discipline and responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. Failure to execute the proper care and alertness could result in severe injuries such as:

• Burns and scars
• Head injuries
• Joint, muscle, neck, back and bone injuries
• Knee and joint damage
• Whiplash
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Loss of limbs
• Permanent disability
• Wrongful Death

When an individual is injured in a car accident, it takes a toll on their family. Concern for their well-being, bills to repair the vehicle, and medical bills are just the beginning. In cases where the person who is injured is the main source of income for a household, their ability to work can be inhibited depending on the severity of their injury. With medical bills and vehicle repair expenses piling up at the same time as the dominant stream of income is halted, a family can go through a tremendous amount of stress due to the negligence of a complete stranger. The Tamarac car accident lawyers at The Ansara Law Firm have seen cases like these all across Broward, Miami and the Palm Beaches. We firmly believe in justice and accountability, and that’s why our attorneys fight vehemently in court to make sure that their clients and their families receive the compensation that they deserve after being put through an emotional and financial nightmare.
