Palm Beach car accident leaves two seriously injured at Delray Medical Center

A 26-year-old Lantana woman and her passenger were both seriously injured after the driver blacked out and crashed her Honda Civic into a home off West Ocean Avenue Sunday afternoon, the Palm Beach Post News reports.

Officers responding to the Palm Beach car accident reported that the driver had not taken her anti-seizure medication prior to getting behind the wheel which led to the blackout. An eight-year-old boy playing a video game in the living room of the home was unhurt, although obviously quite startled.

For the family of the eight-year-old boy, repairing broken glass and some smashed concrete and replacing a couple mailboxes and street signs seem grateful tasks. That the child was unhurt despite standing six-feet from where the Civic came to rest after smashing through the living room, a blessing. Neither the driver nor her passenger was so lucky. The driver remains in serious condition and her passenger is critical.

Dealing with car accidents caused by side effects of medication is a significant issue in South Florida, particularly with the large number of retired and elderly drivers. Hiring an experienced attorney can assist a victim in determining if medication played a roll in a crash as often times law enforcement will not be able to make such a determination at the scene.
