I’m Hurt: Personal Injury in Car Accident Cases
What is that noise? I felt a strong sound as like if someone was shooting
fireworks for Independence Day, but it was not the 4th of July yet, the month of March
had just begun. My neck and back hurts a lot, my hands were shaking, and they were
very cold at the same time. I supposed it was my nerves that attacked me. Are you guys
ok? I asked my boyfriend and his son who were passengers in my car. What have you
done, my boyfriend screamed angrily, but the truth is that I didn’t do anything wrong. I
was just driving at the speed limit on a road with a lot of traffic. It was then when I
decided to pull over on the side of the road to check what had happened looking for a
logical explanation. A 94-year-old man had hit my car in the back. I started crying
because I didn’t know what I was going to do. I didn’t have money to pay for the repair
of my car. My back and neck are in pain. There are many people that don’t respect the
transit laws, or they don’t put attention to what they are doing and provoke an accident.

Elderly drivers should have more restrictions on obtaining and renewing drivers’
licenses in order to protect the public from accidents. The state of Florida has one
of the biggest numbers of car accidents therefore, who has never been involved in a car
accident? Although, many people use cars rather than their own feet because they
spend majority of their time driving. Car accident victims should have a basic knowledge
of their right because they should understand how their insurance company will
respond, how the adverse insurance will respond, and why is important to hire an
attorney.
