Fatal Car Crash Totally Avoidable

By Ward & Caggiano

As Orlando car accident lawyers, we are saddened by the tragic car accident that claimed the lives of four high school students. Last June 5, nine students from a Florida high school were driving to the beach in a 1997 Ford Explorer, when the vehicle overturned, killing four. In the aftermath, it became clear that several companies connected with the truck may be responsible.

Cooper Tire and Rubber Company and Ford Motor Company are two defendants named in the lawsuit. In addition, an auto repair company had recently serviced the SUV and may have responsibility; as well as, the company that sold the vehicle. Certainly, there have been many cases involving roll-over accidents which directly result from the design defect of the SUV.

As a father of four, the loss of any children really hits home. What is especially troubling about this situation is that it appears to continue to repeat itself. These types of rollover accidents can be addressed with proper design and safety engineering. Our children and families deserve such safety engineering. Profits should not be put above consumer safety.

For more information, you can read the Florida car accident book, Seeking Justice: An Insider's Guide for the Injured. When I wrote this book, I hoped it would help people involved in a car accident protect themselves from insurance company adjusters and understand the important issues before it is too late. I also wanted to provide a solid method for injured people to find the right lawyer. From the reviews we have received, it has done just that. For anyone injured in a Florida car accident, a Free copy of this book can be a great place to start.
