Car Accidents in Pinellas Park

Pinellas Park is a centrally located city in Pinellas County, Florida. Unfortunately, there are always numerous car accidents in Pinellas Park due to the sheer number of cars traveling through the area on a daily basis. If you have been involved in a car accident in Pinellas Park and have sustained serious injuries, we are uniquely qualified to help. At St. Petersburg Personal Injury Attorneys McQuaid & Douglas, we are hired weekly by people injured in car accidents in Pinellas Park. Because our office is located only a few miles, we are able to set up these accident injury claims quickly and efficiently. We are familiar with the Pinellas Park Police Department, the hospitals in the area, and the medical providers. Because we handle so many car accident claims in Pinellas Park, we know what the cases are worth and how to maximize the value of each case.

Why are there so many car accidents in Pinellas Park?

The main reason why there are so many car accidents is because of the volume of commuter traffic moving through the city. Pinellas Park is crossed by many thoroughfares such as Park Blvd, 66th St., US 19, and Bryan Dairy Rd. Additionally, the congestion around the Shoppes at Park Place creates havoc with vehicles moving in and out of the shopping complex. But, with so many commuters moving through on these busy roads during rush hour, there are many rear end car accident cases. I commonly hear from my injured clients that the other driver was rushing to get home from work or was somehow distracted prior to the car crash.

What steps to take when injured in a car accident in Pinellas Park?

If you have been involved in a car accident in Pinellas Park, you must seek medical attention as soon as you feel the injury. If you know you are hurt, seek emergency medical care. Many of my clients who are injured in a car accident in Pinellas Park go to Northside Hospital on 49th St. If you do not need emergency medical care, then call a medical professional who specializes in car accident injury cases immediately. Every day that you wait to get checked out is a day that the insurance company will hold against you when you submit a claim for compensation. After you seek medical care, contact a car accident lawyer who specializes in car accident cases in Pinellas Park. I am constantly contacted by clients who have hired Tampa lawyers for a Pinellas Park car accident. Not only are those lawyers unfamiliar with the roads and facts of the cases, they do not know the medical providers like a local car accident lawyer does. Remember, you are under no obligation to speak to any insurance company representative until you have spoken to a car accident lawyer.

Slip and Fall at Applebee’s Restaurant Allowed to Continue

Image
This slip and fall case against Applebee’s demonstrates the extent that businesses and their lawyers will go to avoid paying claims. At St Petersburg Personal Injury Attorneys McQuaid & Douglas , we routinely get updates on the newest court decisions about Florida’s personal injury law. The common theme in all of the cases is how hard insurance companies fight to deny claims or reduce the amount of money owed to injured people. It is truly amazing how often how businesses and insurance companies fail to do the right thing and compensate someone who was injured simply visiting their property. But, the reality of the situation in Florida is that most personal injury claims result in a fight. Only Florida juries can truly keep big business and insurance companies in check by siding with the consumer. Facts of the Case: In Mitchell v. Applebee’s Services, Inc., 1st District Court of Appeal Case No. 1D18-2555 decided on October 1, 2019, a woman named Kelly Mitchell was involved in ...

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

Image
At St Petersburg Personal Injury Attorneys McQuaid & Douglas, we handle a wide range of injuries that have been caused by someone else’s negligence. One type of injury that we often see is a traumatic brain injury or, “TBI”. The Mayo Clinic notes that while mild traumatic brain injuries may only have temporary effects, serious traumatic brain injuries can result in brain bruising, torn tissues, bleeding and other physical damage to the brain. The Centers for Disease Control defines a concussion as a traumatic brain injury. A concussion is generally caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head which in turn causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This rapid movement can cause the brain to move around within the skull, stretching and damaging brain cells and creating chemical changes in the brain. Not surprisingly, the most common TBI we encounter is a concussion caused by a car accident . In the public eye, concussions are talked about in sports, but they are n...
