Accident negligence cases include all types of vehicular accidents that were caused by someone’s carelessness while driving. The personal injury attorneys at Patino & Associates may be able to help if you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident, or an accident involving a motorcycle, truck, or train.

Auto accidents can be caused by simple failure to stop or yield at traffic signals, perhaps as a result of talking on a cell phone while driving, or by more complicated road conditions, like improper grading on the highway or inadequate signage.

Motorcycle accidents are also an increasing cause of death or injury on the road. Motorcycle fatalities now account for 13 percent of all transportation fatalities. In 2007 alone, the number of motorcycle riders or passengers killed on the nation’s roads increased 6.6 percent over the previous year.

Truck accidents happen as a result of equipment failure, driver fatigue or error, improper loading, driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), or poor maintenance. When they occur, the extent of potentially catastrophic physical injuries, vehicle damage and even wrongful death are more than some families can bear.

Train accidents resulting in personal injury or wrongful death may be caused by defective signaling equipment, improper track maintenance, or broken crossing gates. Rail carriers serving South Florida include Amtrak, Florida East Coast Railway, CSX Transportation, Miami Metrorail, Miami Metromover, Miami-Dade County Transit, and the Tri-Rail system.
