Tampa Teenager Crashes Into Pool

By Orlando Personal Injury Attorney on July 14, 2015

A 17-year-old Florida teenager was fleeing the scene of an accident when he crashed his Chevy into a swimming pool in the Tampa area. He crashed into a black Hyundai parked on the road, then sped off, driving through a fence and screened enclosure and straight into an underground pool.

The boy was charged with reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. He was uninjured and caused about $30,000 worth of damages.

Luckily, no one was hurt in this reckless driving accident. That is not always the case though. Someone could have been in the pool, or the boy himself could have been seriously injured. Reckless driving is not uncommon in Florida, and pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers often end up being victims.

If you are involved in a reckless driving accident, contact the Law Offices of James O. Cunningham, P.A. today to learn more about your rights. If you were injured in an accident, your medical bills, medications, rehabilitation, lost wages, loss of spousal support, personal trauma costs, therapy, and more could be covered. Insurance companies don’t like to pay for what they don’t have to, and if you don’t have a lawyer they often won’t tell you about some compensation that you might be entitled to. A personal injury lawyer will fight aggressively on your side to make sure you receive every dollar of compensation you deserve.

Being involved in a reckless driving accident is scary enough on its own. Dealing with insurance companies and the other party’s lawyer shouldn’t add to your stress. For more than 30 years, attorney James Cunningham has been working with personal injury victims of reckless driving accidents to help them obtain full compensation and peace of mind. Property damages, such as a pool or anything else damaged, can also be taken into account.

During your free consultation, attorney Cunningham will talk you through your experience, discuss what constitutes reckless driving, and assess possible options and next steps for your case. Don’t let an accident caused by someone else interfere with the course of your life. Attorney Cunningham will help get you back on track in no time.
