The immigration situation continues to be a topic of many state and federal governments. Every year, thousands of immigrants leave their home countries every year to try and come to the United States. For some, the travel can be hazardous, and wrongful death accidents can occur.
The U.S. Coast Guard pulled 27 people out of waters near Boynton Beach in Florida. The people were immigrants from Haiti that were sailing to the United States whose boat sank. Drowning was the cause of nine wrongful deaths.
Our firm is staffed with car accident attorneys who know a similar situation exists in four states in the United States. Immigrants from Mexico travel to the United States every day, and illegal immigrants can get into car accidents. States of the southwest (i.e. California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona) have a border with Mexico, and many immigrants cross into the United States in cars, trucks and vans. Their lack of knowledge with the United States or confrontation with police officers can lead to panic which can lead to fatal car accidents.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year which started in October, the Coast Guard has caught over 1,300 Haitian immigrants. That number is up from 972 in the same seven-month period last year.
The Department of Homeland Security has detailed immigrant statistics since 2004. The number of immigrants continues to grow, and the possibility of wrongful death car accidents and boating accidents continues to rise.
Our firm’s car accident lawyers believe that the state of immigration might get worse before it gets better. Travelling away from your home country to set up a new life can be beneficial to you or your family, but doing it without the possibility of wrongful death due to being locked up in a tight container without water and in the heat is probably not the best transporation policy out there.
