Florida is a frequent destination for college students on spring break. And while for most kids it is an opportunity for much-needed relaxation and fun before finals begin, for an unfortunate few, spring break can bring serious injuries from accidents that take place while away from home. 

If your child has been injured in Florida, the first step is to make sure he or she seeks immediate medical attention. The second is to make sure all critical documentation is collected to determine if the injury or accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, which could make your child eligible for compensation. As a Florida personal injury attorney, I know the types of accidents and injuries that can happen on spring break, I know what types of evidence you will need to collect, and I know how to present a solid case so that your child receives compensation for pain and injuries incurred due to someone else’s neglect.

Common injuries when on spring break

Thousands of young people flock to Florida every year during their spring break from school to experience the many pleasures that our beautiful state and our tourist attractions afford. For the vast majority, the experience is rewarding and provides wonderful memories. However, accidents do happen. As a personal injury lawyer, I have seen how negligence and carelessness have harmed many people’s lives. If you come to Florida for spring break, take reasonable precautions so that the carelessness or negligence of others does not harm you. 

Common injuries to avoid

Auto, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian accidents: Auto accidents and fatalities around certain Florida attractions are nearly 10% higher during the spring break season. Primary causes include increased traffic, more young drivers, driving under the influence, and distracted driving. Don’t be one of the statistics. If you are driving, walking, or riding a bike, watch for erratic drivers and avoid traffic where possible. If you are a passenger, refuse to ride with someone who is intoxicated, under the influence of drugs, or distracted.
