At the law firm of Clark & Martino, P.A. in Tampa, our automobile accident attorneys see first-hand every day the terrible toll that auto accidents can take. While it’s true in many cases that auto accident victims can recover and move on with their lives, others aren’t so fortunate. In 2010, 2,444 people lost their lives in Florida as a result of an auto accident.* Consider also the many close family members such as mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, and siblings who were impacted by a loved one’s untimely passing.
