As auto accident attorneys representing Charlotte County over the past 30 years, we have seen an increase in the population in the area. As a result, this has had a direct impact on the number of fatal accidents in the area. A combination of traffic congestion, strained infrastructure, driver behavior, and inadequate public transportation has created a dangerous environment for motorists and pedestrians. Unfortunately, a recent fatal crash on Tamiami Trail is one more example of just how dangerous the roads in Charlotte County have become. Drivers must be more cautious when on some of our busiest roads in the area.
