It’s the most wonderful time of the year for most drivers across the nation: time to test the heater and defroster, to put on the snow tires, to stock up on antifreeze, ice scrapers, and plenty of caution for navigating winter roads. Soon enough the ease of rolling across open roads with the windows down will be a cherished memory. Statistics show that the winter months are prone to a different breed of accident. Suddenly simply pulling to a stop behind another vehicle at a stoplight can cause a fender bender, under the right conditions. Loss of control, poor visibility, terrible road conditions, and failing engines can all contribute to the hazards of being on the road. The phenomena of winter auto accidents translates into a specific personal injury law practice for those auto accident lawyers serving motorists in winter weather communities. These attorneys wrestle with issues of fault when factoring in such issues as icy roads.

Thankfully, West Palm Beach auto accidents do not suffer the same fate. The Iowa white-out may be on the evening news, but the climate on the roads outside the window remains temperate. Still, it is clear that the West Palm Beach community experiences unique contributors to its driving conditions, such as the frequent rains that make for slick roads. Humidity, fog, haze, bright sunshine, and other factors specific to this part of Florida influence the driving conditions and potential for accidents. It is easy to overlook the unique nature of driving conditions in our own communities, as we are so accustomed to them. But just think what a fish out of water we would be if suddenly transplanted, car and all, into an Iowa blizzard!

This being the case, when you are the victim of a car accident in West Palm Beach, you know that an attorney from Iowa simply does not have the experience to effectively litigate your case. While it is true that some of the most important qualities to look for in an attorney - trust, integrity, character - are not bound by geography, other equally important, circumstantial qualities are. You need a seasoned West Palm Beach car accident attorney with the day-in, day-out experience of our highways, byways, and driving rules and regulations. It only makes sense.

If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call The West Palm Beach Law Firm of  Offices of Casey D. Shomo at (561-659-6366) or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
