If you have been in an accident call Colette Heck Law today!

Orange City motor vehicle accidents cause the loss of time, property, health and even life. Such accidents occur because of elements including driver error, negligence, manufacturing defects and dangerous weather. No matter what the specific cause or result, a crash can turn a normal day into a prolonged struggle. Speaking with an Orange City personal injury lawyer can help you sort out your rights, your options and your future.

When you have been in an auto accident, you may have a sense of who caused it. Issues of fault, however, can be complicated by who acted when and which laws governed the situation. If the other driver was negligent, you may have to prove that the driver breached a duty of care to you and that the breach caused your damages. The assistance of an attorney can be immensely valuable at this time, whether you are battling an insurance company, seeking compensation for your injuries or defending yourself in court.

Sometimes the at-fault driver is more than merely negligent; he or she may have acted recklessly or even intentionally. A reckless driver acts with conscious disregard for the probable consequences of his or her actions. Road rage incidents often involve reckless behavior, and they can escalate into intentional behavior. Road rage in particular can be extremely dangerous, leading to injuries and criminal charges. Generally, aggressive drivers are a serious threat to safety. Speeding and taking other risks contributes significantly to highway and other driving fatalities.

How Can a Truck Accident Lawyer Help You?

Although trucking companies say they set high driving standards for their employees, truck drivers contribute to thousands of accidents each year. If you've been injured by a semi-truck or commercial vehicle, you need accurate representation from a qualified lawyer who will help you seek just compensation. When you need a truck accident lawyer serving Orange City, FL, let Colette Heck help. She will fight for your rights.

How Can a Truck Accident Lawyer Help?
Federal regulations require truck drivers to work no more than 70 hours a week and drive no more than 11 hours per day. However, many semi-truck drivers drive more hours than they should. Some companies keep fraudulent log books, and others fail to maintain their trucks so they can save money on maintenance and repair costs.

As a result, trucking companies scramble to protect their driver even when he or she was fully or partially responsible for the accident. This means that when you're seeking compensation after a truck accident, you need a lawyer who will begin the liability investigation immediately.

Colette Heck will work to accurately investigate liability in truck accident cases. Colette Heck will investigate the role of the truck driver in the crash, as well as the truck's maintenance and the trucking company's liability. Colette Heck will pursue every avenue as they explore what caused the crash and who should be held responsible.

Been involved in a rear-end collision?

It’s always unfortunate to be involved in a rear-end collision. Whether you’re the victim of the accident or the driver being held responsible, you’re likely to be faced with at least some stressful bills, paperwork, pain, suffering, and/or emotional distress. Regardless of the outcome, often times, most of them are undesirable. Fortunately, Florida has a pretty good grasp on who should be held accountable for rear-end car accidents which makes recovery for undeserving victims much less of a hassle. Did you know that in virtually every standard rear-end car accident case the driver in the back is liable for the damages caused?

For the most part, there’s not much good that can come out of a rear-end collision in Daytona Beach Shores. Generally, the most positive aspect of any automobile accident is getting out of it with minor injuries or better yet completely unharmed, but in the end, there’s always property damage and medical bills to deal with. For the liable party, there’s the added cost of possible traffic tickets and even steeper penalties if their insurance policy isn’t enough to cover the damages they’ve caused. But my sympathy goes to the innocent drivers who follow the rules of the road down to a tee and are then struck by a careless driver and are left with painful and permanent injuries, outstanding medical bills, a totaled car, and severe emotional distress. Unfortunately, a good handful of these accidents even take the lives of these victims.

It’s almost always the driver in the rear of a rear-end collision who is responsible for the accident. However, if you have any doubt or questions regarding how to go about tackling your personal injury case, it would be greatly beneficial to have a Orange City auto injury attorney on your side that deals with these cases on a constant basis.

Contact Colette Heck Law today if you have been involved in a rear-end collision.

Drunk drivers willfully and needlessly endanger the life of others. According to the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, 33,625 people were convicted of driving under the influence last year alone. When someone decides to drive drunk innocent drivers and passengers are in immediate danger. These cases are more difficult than many people realize. It is not about just reckless driving. It's also about tracing the beverage or substance trail back to the source to make those who foster, encourage, or enable drunk or drug impaired drivers.

Drunk driving is a third degree felony under Florida Statutes and is punishable in by incarceration. Under Florida law, drivers with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher are above the legal limit. Furthermore, drunk drivers that cause accidents and serious injuries such as a traumatic brain or closed head injury can also be subject additional civil liability for punitive damages under Florida Statutes 768.762.

Damages in a drunk driving case include amounts for past and future medical bills, loss of earnings, loss of a loved one, pain and suffering, permanent disability and punitive damages. This is because drunk driving is reckless disregard for the life and safety of others. Drunk driving cases can also include claims not just against the drunk driver but may include legal liability from other third parties such as establishments where the alcohol was served. Florida's vendor responsibility act requires alcohol establishments to teach their employees to serve alcohol responsibly to the public.

Car accidents are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Rear end collisions are the most typical type of case that Colette Heck Law sees. Failing to yield the right of way, and turning in front of on-coming traffic are other accident cases that are commonly handled by Ms. Heck. Other car accident cases we handle are crashes involving drunk drivers, negligent drivers running a red light or stop signs, speeding, and cars entering intersections from private driveways. such as shopping centers, without looking before entering the street or highway.
Although there are countless reasons why motor vehicle accidents occur, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicates the number one factor contributing to car accidents in the nation is distracted or inattentive driving, which accounts for approximately 80% of all motor vehicle accidents.

Other factors that cause car accidents are driving under the influence of alcohol or drug related substances, violation of traffic laws such as speeding or not stopping at stop signs, fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel, and lack of maintenance to the vehicle. In other situations, car accidents result from external factors out of an individual’s control, such as poor weather conditions, improperly maintained roads and highways, or a defect on the vehicle from the manufacturer.
