Tiger Woods has cancelled an appearance this week at the Chevron World Challenge golf tournament. He is currently recovering from minor injuries sustained in an auto accident early last Friday morning.
The accident occurred outside his home near Orlando, Florida. Woods backed out of his driveway and hit a fire hydrant on the side of the road. He then crashed into a tree by a neighbor’s home. Woods suffered cuts and bruises from the auto accident and was treated at a local hospital.
Immediately following the accident, Tiger’s wife used a golf club to break the rear window of his SUV, and she pulled him out of the vehicle. He has cancelled several interviews with police investigators over the weekend, saying he wishes to maintain his privacy. The auto accident is still under investigation, although alcohol is not believed to be a factor. No other vehicles were involved, and no one else was injured.
If you have suffered a serious injury in an auto accident caused by the negligence of another driver, it is important to consult an experienced auto accident attorney who can battle the insurance companies and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
