Overturned Truck on I-75 Exit in Tampa Leads to Injuries

October 7, 2011 - Tampa, Fla. - According to a report from Tampa Bay News, a truck overturns on the I-75 exit to I-4, which resulted in injuries.

The interstate 75 exit was blocked for nearly 2 hours on Thursday, Sept. 29, when a truck filled with milk overturned. It is still unclear as to what caused the truck to flip over.

The Florida Highway Patrol indicated that there were injuries involved. However, no further information was provided.

Injuries from a truck accident are often serious, even life-threatening. If someone else's negligence caused you to sustain serious injuries, then you could be entitled to compensation. It would be in your best interest to seek legal counsel from a St. Petersburg personal injury attorney.

An attorney will evaluate your case to determine who was at fault and then assist you throughout the entire process of your claim. This includes filing your paperwork and collecting the necessary evidence.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2008 Florida Crash Statistics, there were 2,978 fatalities as a result of car accidents in Florida.
