Florida Supreme Court Reviewing UCF Wrongful Death Case
Orlando wrongful death attorneys are closely following developments in a legal dispute between the family of a University of Central Florida football player and the university. The Florida Supreme Court recently announced that they plan to hear an appeal of the reduction of the monetary award given to the player’s family. The case stems from a 2008 incident, when the 19-year-old player collapsed and died after performing conditioning drills with UCF teammates. Court justices have announced that they have issued an order accepting jurisdiction in the case, but said that they do not plan to hear oral arguments. Instead, the justices plan to review the case records and legal briefs from the attorneys involved in the August 2013 case.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers had a difficult time assessing and clearing debris from a recent series of rear-end collisions on several east and westbound lanes of Interstate 4 in Deland. Troopers say the accidents began around 5:30 p.m. and involved nine separate crashes involving at least 26 vehicles between mile markers 121 and 127. They report that four of the accidents occurred in the westbound lanes of I-4 and five more occurred in the eastbound lanes.

New Device and Application Aim to Reduce Cell Phone Car Accidents
A new device and software application under development by three Florida men may help reduce distracted driving accidents in Florida and across the country. The three Bradenton entrepreneurs, Chris Tunmore, Andrew Britt and Roger Pellew, recently announced that their Smart Dash app and driver information system will soon be available for sale. Tunmore has some extra incentive to get the product on the market, as he has a 17-year-old daughter who just started driving. Like many teens, his daughter is addicted to her smartphone and Tunmore feels that their product can help protect her and others from being injured or killed in cell phone car accidents.
