Common Types of Vehicular Accidents
Car accidents can cause serious damages and injuries to the victims involved. As the victim, you may be entitled to receive compensation for the expenses related to your car accident:
- Head-on Collision: Head-on collisions occur when the front of two cars run directly into each other. This type of accident can be incredibly dangerous and often happens when one driver goes into oncoming traffic and runs into another vehicle.
- Rear-End Accident: These types of accidents are very common. A rear-end accident is identified as one in which the front of one car runs into the end of another. It can be caused by a driver who is distracted, speeding, tailgating or negligent. Other times, the driver in front may slam on their breaks in a moment's notice.
- Side-Impact Collision: Side-impact collisions, also known as T-bone accidents, occur when the front of one vehicle runs into the side of another. If the car runs into the side where a person is located, serious injuries are likely to occur. This is because there is only a thin sheet of metal and glass there to protect the victim.
- Rollover Accident: Rollover accidents happen when a car flips on its side or completely upside-down. SUVs are more likely to be involved in rollover accidents as compared to other vehicles due to the fact that the center of gravity is higher and the track width is narrower.
- Texting While Driving: When it comes to texting while driving, Florida's laws are not as strict as many people would prefer. Our state has placed a ban on texting while driving, however, people are allowed to text while in a traffic jam or at a red light. The fine for initially violating this offense is a mere $30 and is identified as a secondary offense. This means that a person cannot be pulled over solely for texting; they must be pulled over for something else before getting a citation for texting. Due to the laidback laws, texting while driving is still a common occurrence and the reason behind many accidents.
- Driving Under the Influence: This type of scenario occurs when the driver at fault is identified as being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The legal limit for drinking while driving is 0.08 for anyone who is 21 years of age or older. For those who are under the age of 21, their legal limit is reduced to 0.02. When a person is under the influence, it takes away from a driver's focus and driving skills.
- Single/Multi-Vehicle Accidents: Single vehicle accidents involve one car and can happen if a person attempts to swerve out of the way of another person/object; if there are poor weather conditions; or because of mechanical defects. Multi-vehicle accidents include two or more cars such as rear-end collisions, side-impact collisions, pile-up accidents and so forth.

"If I could give Ernie Trichler 10 stars, I definitely would"If I could give Ernie Trichler 10 stars, I definitely would - 5 stars is not enough. Ernie aided myself & family with my mother’s wrongful death case. He didn’t care that she was 100 years old. Ernie is professional, trustworthy, and most importantly, he knows the law. He answered his phone every time I called with questions and he always had the answers. I interviewed at least 4 different attorneys and there was no doubt that Ernie is above and beyond them all. If you are in need of an attorney within the realm of his expertise, I highly recommend Ernie Trichler.- Sandy L

I went through a very traumatic accident that left me hospitalized for a month and in recovery for much longer. It was such a difficult and expensive process that I never thought I'd ever recover from. Jennifer Mandelbaum took care of me from day 1 making sure I never had to stress which was so amazing for me as to this day suffer from terrible PTSD. She not only made sure that I was taken care of but also that I was treated like family and she walked me through every step, ensuring that I was properly represented and didn't have to struggle with my bills for all my specialized doctors and care. I couldn't recommend a better firm to take care of you in your moment of need!

"Professionalism at its Finest"Ernie was the epitome of a silver lining in an unfortunate situation.
