Understanding Reckless Driving Laws in Florida

In Florida, reckless driving is defined as a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property. This can include tailgating, excessive speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, running red lights, and other dangerous actions that endanger public safety. Florida law also recognizes "aggravated reckless driving," which involves a more severe disregard for safety and may result in harsher penalties.

If you are involved in an accident with a reckless driver, it’s essential to understand the legal framework surrounding these cases. Reckless drivers can face criminal charges in addition to civil liability for damages. This is where an experienced attorney can help navigate your case's criminal and civil aspects, ensuring that you hold the reckless driver accountable for their actions.

The Physical, Emotional, and Financial Impact of Reckless Driving Accidents and How to Seek Compensation

When you’re the victim of a reckless driving-related crash, you may endure injuries like paralysis, brain or head injury, burns, and more. Depending on the severity of such injuries, you may require extensive medical attention. Medical services can rack up hefty bills, putting a financial burden on top of the physical burdens you’ve already taken on. The types of costs you could be left responsible for may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Hospital/ER stay
• Medical bills
• Medication
• CT scans, MRIs, X-rays
• Surgeries
• Physical Therapy
• Body casts/wheelchairs 
• And more!

You may also have to take time off of work because of your injuries, which can cause additional financial stress. On top of tangible medical costs, accidents can cause a lot of emotional trauma and pain for victims, requiring psychological therapy or counseling. You don’t deserve for this accident to alter your entire life! However, there is a time limit on taking legal action against reckless drivers. You must contact a Fort Myers reckless driving accident injury lawyer who can fight aggressively for fair compensation. Don’t let insurance companies who are trying to save a dime devalue what your injuries are worth with their lowball offers or deny you compensation altogether!
