Is the Intersection of I-95 and I-4 the most dangerous intersection in the Nation?

blog@www.zqlawyers.com (Blog Author)33025 — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:00:00 EST

Since 2004, there have been 50 fatalities of car divers and their passengers on I-4 in Volusia County alone. Combine that with 69 fatalities caused by car crashes on I-95 since 2004 and you see why a website has published a report that states I-95 in Florida and I-$ in Florida are the 1st and 3rd most dangerous roads in the United States. There are 382 miles of Interstate 95 in the state and 132 miles of Interstate 4. Taking the fatal accidents and dividing them by the total miles, the rate was 1.73 for I-95 and 1.58 for I-4 ranking them first and third respectively in the U.S.

This may be caused by the amount of elderly divers in the area or the lack of continuous guardrails along the median but whatever the cause it is important to recognize that we drive along very dangerous roadways and we should be aware and very defensive.

Three Year Old Child Falls Thirty Feet Out Of A Daytona Beach Apartment Complex Window

blog@www.zqlawyers.com (Blog Author)33023 — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:00:00 EST

A three year old girl fell out of a third floor apartment window in Daytona Beach on June 7, 2010. The initial investigation revealed that the child pushed out the screen and tumbled through the open window. The child landed on concrete thirty feet below. She suffered head injuries but she was conscious when she was taken to Halifax Hospital prior to being airlifted on Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital.

This accident highlights the extreme level of supervision parents must provide their children. It is important to be observant of surroundings to ensure safety. If a window is low enough for a child to reach and push out the screen, parents should always keep the window locked when children are in the room. Parents should also make sure that their building is up to the applicable building codes.

If the window is higher than the child can reach, then make sure that there is not any furniture in front of the window that child can climb to reach the window height. Children of different ages have varying degrees of function, so it is important to adjust the level of care and supervision based on the age and ability of the child. For example, a child may be able to bring a stool or small chair over to the window to climb up and reach the window. A child's curiosity may draw them to the window to see what lies beyond, however, parents should make sure to not leave any toys or other attractions on the window sill that would increase the chances of the child being drawn to the window.

My heart goes out to the family of this particular little girl, but lets learn from the tragedy, never take your eyes off your children and always act in an abundance of caution.

Daytona Car Accident Attorney Discusses the most Dangerous Activity for Teen Drivers

blog@www.zqlawyers.com (Blog Author)32780 — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 08:00:00 EST

The Washington Post recently published an article that identified night time driving as the most dangerous activity for teen drivers. The Texas transportation institute conducted a 10 year study with fatality data from 1999 to 2008. In that ten year period the number of day time traffic deaths declined due to safer cars, seat belt laws and drunken-driving enforcement. However, night time deaths increased. With drivers over the age of 20, alcohol is the source of the increase in night time deaths. With teenagers there was in increase in deaths but it was not due to alcohol. The study suggest that the mixture of using cell phones combined with inexperience driving and dark night time conditions have caused the increase with night time fatalities.
