You might see it in the news: a report of a driver crashing their car into a restaurant, office, or other building. It may seem rare, but each year over 500 people are killed across the United States due to these types of accidents. This means that car-into-building crashes are responsible for more American deaths than tornadoes, lightning, and earthquakes combined.

Part of the trouble is that these accidents can cause a lot of damage not just to the car but also the building, potentially causing injuries to those inside. If you’re injured in this kind of crash, your injuries are likely to be severe and you’ll want to seek every dollar of compensation you are eligible for, so you can pay for your potentially high costs.

If you’ve been injured because another driver negligently sped up instead of stopping at an intersection or anywhere else on the road, you may have a claim. Florida law may allow you to seek compensation to cover your lost wages, car repair bills, hospital and medical treatment costs, and more. However, you may not get the full amount you’re entitled to just by filing an insurance claim. To find out more, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation with a Hollywood car accident claims lawyer.

Although parking lot accidents tend to be lower speed accidents and therefore less likely than trucking collisions to lead to permanent injuries and fatalities, they can still be serious. An unexpected parking lot accident or rear end accident in a Hollywood shopping area can lead to whiplash, head trauma, and other serious injuries. In addition, if you’re struck by a car as you’re walking to or from a store, your injuries can be life-threatening. As a pedestrian, you are simply more at risk for serious, even fatal injuries.

I had a lawyer on another case and I never spoke to the lawyer and I hated that I never knew what was going on in my case. Mr. Flaxman was in constant communication with me, explained everything to me, and his staff was really great too. My phone calls were always returned immediately. It was refreshing to be able to speak to my attorney personally. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Flaxman as an attorney to anyone who has been in an accident. Gloria
