Many people lose their lives every year in auto accidents and countless others sustain personal injuries that forever impact their lives. This is because serious personal injuries can amount to thousands of dollars in medical expenses and depending on the severity of the injury, the rehabilitation process can take quite some time for auto accident victims. If the negligence of another driver caused you or a loved one to sustain injuries in an auto accident, you may have a right to seek compensation. With the increasing medical care costs, treatment of any type of injury can get extremely costly.

Even a minor injury can force a trip to the emergency room along with follow-up visits, prescription medication, diagnostic tests, and the like. Serious injuries may require hospitalization, surgeries, or even long-term medical treatment and care. It pays to have a personal injury attorney who will consider all of your medical expenses and ensure you seek the full amount of compensation for your injuries. The attorneys at Suarez & Montero fight for justice for those who are injured in car accidents. We do this because we want to make sure our clients receive fair compensation for their damages.

The Move Over Law protects law enforcement officers, emergency workers, tow truck drivers, sanitation workers, and utility workers stopped along roadways while performing their jobs. In a multi-lane roadway, drivers must vacate the lane closest to the stationary emergency vehicle, tow truck, sanitation, or utility service vehicle. (Signal your intention to change lanes.) If a driver cannot move over safely, drivers must slow down to a speed of 20 mph below the posted speed limit. Drivers who are not in the lane closest to the stationary vehicle should be prepared to allow those who are to move over into their lane. In a Two-Lane Roadway, drivers must slow down to a speed of 20 mph below the posted speed limit. If the speed limit is 20 mph or less, drivers must travel at 5 mph.

These rules can be found at Florida Statutes section 316.065.
