I’ve written many articles about people who live in another state, and are injured in a Florida car accident. Here, I focus on Tennesseans who hurt in a Florida car accident. These cases are different than a case for a Floridian who is injured in a Florida car accident.

On July 30, 2018, Shankeva was a passenger in her boyfriend’s (Ken) car. They were stopped at a red light in Holly Hill, Florida.
