West Palm Beach, FL – Serious Auto Accident on I-95 near Okeechobee Blvd

Miami, FL - Police Responded to Crash with Injuries on SW 40th Street

West Palm Beach, FL (April 23, 2021) – A major auto collision happened on a roadway in West Palm Beach on the morning of April 23. Police and EMTs were sent to assist those involved at the scene shortly after the incident took place. 

The wreck was reported just after 11:00 a.m. on Interstate 95 near Okeechobee Boulevard. When paramedics and police arrived at the scene, they found that at least one person had been injured. Wounded parties in need of immediate medical attention were treated on-site before being taken to local hospitals for further care as needed. 

Five lanes on I-95 near Okeechobee Boulevard were shut down while responders worked to secure the scene. Authorities advised local motorists to exit the interstate at Forest Hill to avoid traffic jams. 

Police officials in West Palm Beach continue to investigate the details of the crash. No one involved has been identified at this time. 

Our thoughts are with everyone involved and affected by this accident in West Palm Beach. We hope for their full recovery. 

Auto Collisions in Florida

According to statistics published by NHTSA, a Florida car accident occurs about once every 92 seconds. This means that all motorists on our roadways must remain vigilant at all times as a crash could occur at any moment. Speeding, reckless driving, impairment, distraction, and more can all lead to a serious accident that can leave victims suffering from catastrophic injuries. Unfortunately, these incidents take place multiple times per day in Florida. In many instances, the victims are innocent motorists who were simply minding their own business when the crash takes place.

If you have been injured in an accident, you should seek to protect your legal rights as soon as possible. Many victims of car accidents in Florida mistakenly believe that the insurance company has their best interest in mind and is working for them when it comes to receiving a settlement of their claim. The insurance company, however, is only concerned with settling the case as quickly and cheaply as they can. It is important to make sure you are represented by experienced counsel who can help you get the compensation that you deserve.

At Boone and Davis, we make sure that our clients are able to recover the maximum amount according to law. With over 40 years of experience helping accident victims, we know how to evaluate your claim so that you are not left with an inadequate settlement that does not fully compensate you for your pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical bills. We will stand up for you when your back is against the wall. Our South Florida car accident attorneys are here to help during your time of greatest need.

We offer free consultations and case evaluations to all potential clients. We also work on a contingency fee basis for most accident cases so there is absolutely no obligation to you unless we obtain a recovery.
