Warm tropical weather and sunny skies attracts millions of tourists to South Florida each year. However, South Florida is also known for its rain. Wet roads create hazardous conditions on any street or highway. Although weather conditions should trigger us to slow down and drive with greater care, that is not always the case. Speeding on wet, slippery roads can result in cars that are unable to stop at intersections or stop signs. Water that pools on the streets and highways can lead to hydroplaning. This can cause drivers to lose control over their vehicle and hit another car or slide into a median or barrier on the road. Heavy rain can also limit a driver’s visibility. This can make it difficult to see stop lights or road signs, cars pulling off and onto the road, or parked cars on the side of the road.
Car accidents that are caused by hazardous driving conditions can lead to serious, even fatal, injuries. Drivers who are speeding or lose control over their cars cannot react effectively enough to prevent an accident, which can lead to serious injuries in a crash. If you are suffering from serious injuries resulting from a car accident caused by poor weather, you should speak with a Fort Lauderdale car accident lawyer. Attempting to settle these matters on your own can leave you with less compensation than you need to recover from your injuries. Personal injury lawyers will look beyond the accident to consider other factors, and parties that may have contributed to the accident to help you receive the necessary compensation you need. They will also consider your current and future compensation needs, as many people require future rehabilitation and continuing care as they recover from their injuries. To find out what your rights are and compensation you may be entitled to receive, call Wolfson & Leon at (954) 530-3918 today.
