Why Do I Need an Attorney After a Car Accident in Homestead?

Published on: June 9, 2020 | By Flaxman Law Group

Unfortunately, many drivers do not consult with a car accident attorney in Homestead after being in a car crash. Whether you have been in a rear end shunt accident, sideswipe accident, a T-bone accident or another crash, not consulting with an attorney can be an expensive error.

Even if you have paid for quality insurance, most insurance companies want to resolve claims quickly and inexpensively. This means they may be rushing to offer you an amount before the full extent of your injuries and expenses is known. If you realize after the fact that you need more compensation to pay for medical bills, unexpected extra lost wages, or other costs, you may not be able to secure additional compensation.

Single-Car Accidents in Homestead: What You Need to Know

Published on: February 22, 2019 | By Flaxman Law Group

Single-car accidents happen in Homestead and other Florida communities. These types of car crashes involve any situation where no other vehicle or pedestrian is involved. If you crash into a barrier, go into a ditch, or crash into any property without hitting anyone else, that is considered a single-vehicle accident.

In these collisions, there may not be another vehicle driving at full speed, but the impact can still be enough to cause serious or life-threatening injuries, especially if your own vehicle was going fast. If you crash into a solid barrier at a high speed or even go into a ditch, you could suffer from significant impact or a rollover.

Head-On Crashes in Homestead and Florida

Published on: January 22, 2019 | By Flaxman Law Group

Head-on collisions in Hollywood, Homestead, and other Florida communities occur when a car or truck veers away from their own lane and heads towards oncoming traffic, crashing with a car headed in the opposite direction. These accidents can also sometimes be wrong-way collisions.

Head-on accidents are among the most dangerous, due in part to the force exerted. Two vehicles headed towards each other at top speed can cause catastrophic damage. Often, these traffic collisions occur because someone is tired, distracted, or driving under the influence and they turn the wrong way or drift into an oncoming lane. Poor street signage can also lead to these collisions. In some cases, these collisions can also result from bad passing techniques. If a driver is trying to pass on a two-lane road and fails to check oncoming traffic, they may crash into a car heading in the opposite direction.

Kids, Cars, and Heat-Related Tragedy in Miami and South Florida

Published on: August 21, 2018 | By Flaxman Law Group

In 2018 so far, there have been 35 fatalities caused by children being left behind in cars. These tragedies can be prevented, and it is especially important that parents in Miami and across South Florida be aware of the problem, since temperatures can be so high in this part of the country.

There are many factors which can contribute to this tragedy. One is that children are small and are usually kept in the rear seat for their own safety. This can make them easy to overlook in the rear-view mirror and when you walk away from the car, especially if they fall asleep. In addition, children are more susceptible than adults to overheating, so even a short while in a hot car can be fatal.
