Pahokee is a major fixture of what some call Palm Beach County’s “Other Coast.” The city is perched on the shores of Florida’s enormous Lake Okeechobee. Although Pahokee is a small community that retains its rural feel, it is visually striking for the rows of towering royal palm trees that welcome visitors and residents along the approach to the city. Pahokee (a Seminole Indian term meaning grassy waters) has escaped the phenomenal growth that has propelled other Palm Beach County communities. In 2010, its population remained at just over 6,000 people. Pahokee’s relatively isolated location has enabled it to keep the quaint, small-town atmosphere of Old Florida alive.
Pahokee car accident lawyers at Freeman Injury Law, know that a picturesque lakeside locale removed from Florida’s more populated beach areas offers no guarantee that residents won’t be touched by the pain and distress of auto accidents. In fact, our experienced Pahokee personal injury lawyers know that fatal crashes in Florida are more likely to occur in open country than they are in residential areas.
When another driver’s negligence or recklessness results in a motor vehicle accident that leaves you or someone you care about with painful injuries, you can count on the Pahokee car accident attorneys at our firm for the strong advocacy and knowledgeable representation you need to recover damages from the at-fault driver. Our firm is known for its no-nonsense approach to pursuing justice for victims of careless, drunk, distracted and speeding motorists. Medical care for accident injuries is expensive.

The Pahokee personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at our firm have extensive experience handling a full range of motor vehicle accidents. We know that motorcycle crashes injure more than 7,000 riders in Florida every year. Here in Palm Beach County, nearly one motorcyclist is injured every day of the year. Our experience has shown us the severity of injuries that motorcycle riders and their passengers must endure. Because their vehicles offer no protection against the speed and weight of cars or trucks, motorcyclists are vulnerable to multiple fractures, organ damage, and deep cuts and lacerations that can leave disfiguring scars. Often riders are thrown from motorcycles, leading to head injuries that can cause brain damage, or spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis. Any of these severe injuries can mean months or years of medical treatment, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and other costly interventions. Even with the best treatment you may not be able to recover your health. You need to be assured that you’ll have the money you need to continue care over the long term, and to meet your financial obligations and provide support for loved ones who rely on you.
