Small Children Hospitalized After Local Car Accident

Four young children, ranging in ages from 2 years old to 10 years old, remain in the hospital following a traffic collision south of Miami. Their mother, Lori Parsons, stated that she was traveling home from a local discount store when another car came barreling toward her vehicle after she took her turn at a stop sign. She was struck unconscious by the impact, which is alleged to have sent her vehicle into multiple rollovers before it came to a stop. Both vehicles were extensively damaged by the accident, and the collision resulted in further damage to both a stop sign and a home and fence near the scene of the accident. Although Parsons did not sustain life-threatening injuries in the crash, her children were air-lifted to an area medical center following the accident. They remain under medical care, and authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.

Fault and vehicular collisions

Determining who is at fault for an accident may be the most important factor in the outcome of a lawsuit that takes place after a vehicle collision. If someone was not following the law while behind the wheel and their unlawful driving is determined to have caused an accident, they can be held liable in court for their negligence. Even if someone is technically not breaking any laws, they may still be held liable for damages in court if their driving behavior is determined to have caused an accident. Contact a car accident lawyer in Miami to learn more about how fault affects car crash lawsuits.

Several factors can contribute to car accidents

Although breaking law put in place to keep roadways safe is an obvious contributor to motor vehicle accidents, there are many circumstances that could make a car collision more likely to occur, and not all of them are in the driver’s control. Some examples of factors than can affect the likelihood of a car accident include:

• Road conditions (loose gravel, oil slicks, potholes, dirt easements, etc.)
• Visibility (foggy weather, darkness, blinding sunlight)
• Weather (rain, sleet, snow, ice on roadways due to weather conditions)
