Teenage Girl Killed in Dade City Crash

By Orlando Personal Injury Attorney on May 11, 2015

Dade City is mourning 17-year-old Jordan Ivie who was killed in a car accident on April 24th. She and her boyfriend were running errands that morning, when they veered of the road to avoid an oncoming vehicle and hit four trees before coming to a stop. Both the driver and passenger were wearing seatbelts, and emergency responders airlifted Ivie to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery before she was eventually pronounced dead.

Since her death, the community has convened for a vigil at the football field, and will continue to hold events in her name. Often, people assume that when teenagers are in an accident, alcohol or inattentive driving is involved. But that is not always the case, and in this instance another driver in the wrong lane ended up costing Jordan Ivie her life.

If you or someone you love has been involved in a car accident, you should call an experienced attorney to help you navigate the legal ramifications or benefits, and to help you receive the compensation you deserve for your loss.

After an accident, medical costs can rise into the tens of thousands of dollars. Hospital stays, medications, ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages, loss of support, and more can add to the costs. Even strong insurance plans don’t always cover everything. If someone you love died in the accident, you could be entitled to additional compensation.

Cunningham have been working with Florida car accident victims for more than 30 years, and can help you receive compensation for your losses, as well as help you navigate the Florida legal system.
