What to Do After a Car Accident in Miami-Dade County

Published on: February 5, 2021 | By Flaxman Law Group

If you have been in a traffic collision in any community in Miami-Dade County, it’s important to keep in mind that you have rights. If you have been in a collision, the first thing to do is to remain calm and to evaluate the situation. Is the accident serious? Could there be a fuel leak? Is anyone seriously injured and in need of help? If the accident is serious, you’ll want to contact emergency services immediately and follow their instruction to try to avoid further injury. Avoid moving anyone unless instructed to do so, since you may cause further injury.

If the accident was minor, you will want to pull over your car to get out of the way. In these cases, it may be safer to pull over and allow traffic to pass. You will want to exchange contact information and insurance information with the other driver. However, avoid discussing the accident or talking about what may have caused it. It is too early to tell what caused the accident and you don’t want to make a statement which can later affect your claim.

In the event of a hit-and-run, take down as many details as you remember and report the incident to police. Hit-and-run accidents are unfortunately common in Miami, but they are also illegal. Police can help you file a claim and your insurance company may be able to compensate you if you have coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers.

Published on: August 12, 2020 | By Flaxman Law Group

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.
