Tougher Penalties for Hit and Run Drivers

July 9, 2014

Florida Drivers pay attention!!

A bill was just signed into law 06/24/14 and became effective 07/01/14 known as the “Aaron Cohen Life Protection Act.” This new law concerns duties of motorists involved in car crashes; “requiring the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash that results in serious bodily injury to a person to immediately stop the vehicle and remain at the scene of the crash; providing that a person commits a felony of the second degree if he or she fails to stop the vehicle and remain at the scene of the crash until specified requirements are fulfilled; requiring the court to revoke for at least 3 years the driver license of a person convicted of leaving the scene of a crash involving injury, serious bodily injury, or death, etc.”

If you have any questions about the “Aaron Cohen Life Protection Act” or any questions regarding your rights and/or obligations regarding a car accident give us a call at 727-498-8771.

Eric was great to work with! I went about 4 months without a lawyer and was so stressed out with the insurance company, I was in tears. Eric stepped in and made the process so easy! He's great at keeping you updated throughout the whole process and was available for any and all questions. I never felt out of the loop! Highly recommended :)

I had an extremely positive experience working with Eric and his staff members. After spending nearly a year with another lawyer and gaining no progress, Eric was able to get my case settled in a third of the time at a very justified amount. If your looking for a lawyer, I recommend using Shocklee Paolino law firm because of there excellent communications skills, judgement and research ability.

Mr. Shocklee handled the whole process seamlessly by giving me his personal number, breaking down legal jargon, and laying out the best options for my case, putting my health and recovery above all else.

I was very uncertain about the process . Once I spoke with Josh, I understood the importance of having adequate representation. This Lawfirm was very informative and responsive during my process. I would recommend them to anyone in this same situation. When you need answers they were available , that was very important to me in my case. Thank you again!

As an employee at the firm, I can say both Eric and Josh are excellent personal injury attorneys. They have great communication with their clients, will answer any questions you have, and will even drive to meet you where it’s conformable. Once you are signed up, you can be sure that your case will get settled. I fully recommend you go to them.

I am extremely pleased with all the help I've received from Josh and his staff. The next day after my accident Josh was on top of it all, from getting all my info, to getting me into see a doctor on a weekend which is difficult. I could not thank you enough!! Awesome job!

As a law student and former employee at the firm I can say with confidence that this is a firm you can put your faith in. Both Eric and Josh are truly engaged with everyone of their clients, and its because of that that so many have become friends of them and even myself. The professionalism, effort, and care put in by Eric Josh, and the rest of the team are really something that's unique among other firms in my experience. I fully recommend, and hope you go to them, you will be happy you did.

As my colleague and as a client I can say that Josh Shocklee and his team are honest, determined, and hungry, 3 important and vital attributes necessary for a legal team. He has handled my personal matter and I he is currently handling my parents' matters as well. He is my first choice for any personal injury referrals I may receive including those from my clients in my own law practice.
