A Jacksonville man appeared in court, with injuries, after he went for a ride through a Jacksonville construction zone while dangling from a truck’s window on August 10, 2010. The story was reported at the Jacksonville Times Union website. The truck was driven by his girlfriend as she tried to escape from him. As a result, the man has been charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief.
Zebulon Leonard Williams, jumped onto his girlfriend’s truck, held onto the open passenger-side window and tried to grab at her has she drove down the road. The girlfriend’s response was to drive through a construction zone on McDuff and purposefully hit traffic cones to force him off the window and off the moving truck. However, Williams then jumped into the bed of the truck, broke the back windshield and continued to grab for the truck’s driver. The ride ended when the woman stopped at Commonwealth Avenue and Williams jumped from the bed of the truck and still attempted to go after his girlfriend. The woman then drove into him and sped off from the scene. The police later recovered Williams off Commonwealth Avenue where he was hiding behind a tree. Of course, in Florida, the Defendant will be entitled to representation from a Florida criminal defense attorney or the services of the public defender’s office. Through an attorney, the Defendant will be able to present evidence and testimony against the criminal charges brought against him. It is difficult to present all of the facts in a newspaper or blog article; however, it may prove to be a challenging defense in light of the details reported in the newspaper.
Car accidents can come in different shapes and sizes. While most automobile accidents do not get reported in the newspaper and do not involve such outrageous details as this one, victims of automobile accidents should seek legal representation from a Florida personal injury attorney to determine their legal rights to compensation for pain, suffering, mental anguish, past medical bills and future medical bills.
A personal injury attorney will be able to assist you with understanding your rights and options if you have been involved in an accident.
