A woman who was attempting to cross U.S. 301 in Sarasota while on her rollerblades was hit by a car this week and had to be taken by air to a Sarasota area hospital due to the serious nature of her injuries. The driver of the vehicle also sustained injury and treated at a local hospital. Witnesses say that the young woman was trying to cross at an intersection when the accident occurred. They indicated that debris and several personal articles belonging to the rollerblading women were strewn about the roadway. Police closed down several lanes of the highway in order to investigate the accident.
Often when a pedestrian sustains personal injury in an accident it is because the driver of the car did not yield the right of way. It is unclear at this point, however, whether the injuries here resulted from the negligence of the roller-blader, the driver or perhaps both. As in any personal injury claim, a thorough investigation is required as many factors must be considered before assessing fault. Regardless of who is at fault in this particular case, whenever anyone suffers a personal injury due to the negligence of another, it is essential to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Recovery depends on getting prompt and thorough medical attention, and an experienced personal injury lawyer will work to ensure that you get the tests, treatment, and care that you need and if possible, the compensation required to provide for that.
