Stuart – Port St. Lucie car accident lawyer discusses the most dangerous intersections in the area.
The longer you practice the more you see patterns developing. This is certainly true when it comes to intersection collisions. Traffic planning entities say there is nothing wrong with the intersections and the accidents are because of speed, driver error and inattention. These statements; however, can be debated.
