Family of Man Killed in I-75 Fatal Car Accident Awarded $4,000,000

What: fatal car accident | Jury Awards Family $4,000,000
Where: I-75 | Sarasota

A construction company and a subcontractor were found liable for a multicar fatal accident that killed two and injured ten on I-75 near Sarasota.

The family of a 42-year-old man killed in the accident was awarded $4,000,000 from Zep Construction and Traffic Control Systems. They also received $150,000 dollars in punitive damages according to a news article.

On the evening of October 1, 2007, traffic had stopped near the Bee Ridge Road overpass due to a bridge repair project. It was then that a semi-trailer crashed into the back of a line of cars killing the young father, as well as a Miami man in another vehicle.

The plaintiffs showed evidence that Zep Construction did not adhere to safety procedures before stopping traffic, including the lack of electronic warning signs that would have alerted drivers of the bridge project.

In 2007, Florida reported 11,248 crashes in highway work zones which resulted in 8,288 injuries and 105 fatalities. Approximately 1,000 people are killed in highway work zones in the U.S. every year.
