Woman In A Fatal Car Accident On Veterans Expressway Emergency Lane

Our streets and highways pose considerable threats, even when we aren’t driving.   Early Tuesday morning, August 16, an Odessa woman was killed when she was hit in the emergency lane by a passing pickup.  The woman and her husband were towing another car when they got out to adjust the chains.  It was when they were standing in the emergency lane that the truck veered into it “for unknown reasons” and struck the woman.  The accident is currently under investigation.

This tragic accident represents so many confusing elements that make up Florida traffic law.  Pending the investigation, it makes sense to ask who was at fault, was the woman considered a pedestrian, were the woman and her husband clearly in the emergency lane with their emergency lights flashing, was the man who drove the truck impaired in any way.  The list of questions is virtually endless.  That’s why it’s of the utmost importance that you contact a lawyer immediately if you or someone you love has been in any kind of automobile, truck, pedestrian or motorcycle wreck.  The law surrounding the events in most any accident can be labyrinthine.  The experienced, capable attorneys at Lowman Law Firm serving Spring Hill possess the insightful, persistent qualities you need to represent you in such difficult, trying times.  

Was Distracted Driving A Factor In Woman’s Tragic Death?

Only a complete investigation can tell us for sure whether the man driving the truck that struck the woman was distracted or impaired.  However, if he was, it’s important that, in a case like this, the family of the victim seek the advice of tenured attorneys.  Knowing how to proceed in such a sad time is imperative.  Naturally, it’s difficult for anyone to know where to turn when such an unexpected event happens, so having compassionate, guiding hands to help you along the way to eventually healing is invaluable.
