We Speak for the Injured. We Speak for Their Families.Personal Injury attorneyRed Light Runners If you live and drive in the state of Florida, you’ve most likely encountered or witnessed a red-light runner driving at a high rate of speed through a busy intersection. In an attempt to restrict and punish red-light runners, many states have opted to install red-light cameras at some of the busiest intersections. Florida is no exception. Critics of red-light cameras argue that the installation of the devices at intersections leads to an increase in rear-end auto collisions. Supporters cite studies which show the incidents of rear-end collisions at the intersections is temporary and will decrease as drivers become accustomed to the cameras. Red-light cameras have their critics and their supporters, but both sides agree that the problem of red-light runners has escalated with deadly results. Each year hundreds of pedestrians and motorists die as a result of red-light violators. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety studies and the Federal Highway Administration statistics show that red-light runners typically cause more severe injuries and greater vehicle damage than rear-end collisions.
