Broward Fatal Rollover / Tire Accident is Cautionary Tale
Many in Broward County and Palm Beach County have heard, seen and read of the recent tragedy on the Florida Turnpike when a 2000 Ford Expedition rolled over, with a tire blown, causing the death of five, including three children. The people were on their way to church. Because Mark Weinstein at Weinstein & Weinstein, P.A. has been retained in the case by a loving father who lost his wife and two young children (ages 3 and 5) in the tragedy, and a wrongful death case will soon be filed, it would not be prudent to talk about any case-specific things on this forum at this time.
However, from the tragedy there are, in an objective sense, certain general reminders that ought to occur to anyone. The Ford Expedition is known nationwide for rolling over due to its faulty design, and yet it is kept on the road by Ford. Tires that ought to have been recalled have not been, and tires that have been recalled have not seen appropriately dilligent efforts by tire manufacturers to notify consumers as to exactly what tires are and are not recalled. Finally, there may well exist questions pertinent to all South Florida drivers - whether in Broward, Palm Beach, Miami - Dade, or Collier County - with respect to the barrier systems that were or are to be put in place by the Department of Transportation between the Florida Turnpike and other highways, and bordering canals.
