Please accept today’s question and response from the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Miramar, accident attorney Pembroke Pines, injury attorney Weston, accident lawyer Coral Springs, injury attorney Plantation, accident lawyer Cooper city, injury lawyer Lauderhill) at Drucker Law Offices.
A common accident is one just like described above…a “he said, she said” scenario. One car says that it had the green light and the other car says the same thing. Assuming the light was working properly (which generally would be the case), only one person could be correct. In this scenario, the police will obviously look for any witnesses. If a witness sees that one car had the green light, then that car would have a very good chance at winning the case. If there are no witnesses (generally, passengers in the car would not be considered neutral witnesses, although they could testify in court and the jury would just have to weigh their testimony accordingly), then a jury would have to listen to the drivers in order to render a verdict. There is no easy answer in the scenario where there are no witnesses.
It is important to note that every case is unique and should be judged based on the specific facts of the case. The advice in this blog is intended to be general in nature and should not to be construed as specific advice for a case, as a minor difference in the facts of the case could change the result. Also, this blog is, as the web site suggests, based on Florida law and the laws of any other states or even another country could vary from Florida.
