Anyone can suffer severe, life-changing injury in a pedestrian accident, but some pedestrians are simply more vulnerable. Small children, for example, are still growing and may have their development and growth affected by an early injury. Their smaller size means they’re more likely to suffer critical injuries.
Another vulnerable group of pedestrians is seniors. The family-based legal team at Flaxman Law Group has worked with many senior clients who have suffered devastating injuries because a driver failed to stop at an intersection. If you find yourself in this situation, reach out to our father-son attorney team. In a free accident consultation, we can review your potential options for pursuing compensation and we can address questions you may have about your rights.
Being seriously injured in a Hollywood car accident can leave you facing pain and other challenges for weeks or months. Is there any way to reduce the amount of time you spend suffering? While every case is different the following steps can increase the chances of a timely recovery.
Many cars involve another driver, but every day some motorists crash into a railing, wall, building, tree, or other stationary object. Many people believe that if there’s no other driver, they’re at fault and they have no claim. This just isn’t true. Even if you think you may have contributed to your crash or aren’t sure you have a claim, get the facts about your rights. Contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation before you make any decisions.
Drunk driving is a concern on Hollywood and Florida streets, but it’s not the only impairment that’s a danger on our roads. Any substance, including over the counter and prescription medications and illegal substances, can impact your driving if they affect your reaction times. Marijuana is one such substance. While many people see it as “less dangerous” than “hard drugs,” new studies suggest marijuana can have a bigger impact than previously thought on the safety of our streets.
Have you been injured by a driver who was under the influence of marijuana? Find out whether you have a claim. Before you agree to a payout from your insurer and before even discussing your claim with anyone, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation with a Hollywood car accident claims attorney. We can help you explore your options and protect your rights.
It’s not uncommon for car accidents in Hollywood to happen because a driver pressed the accelerator instead of the brake by accident. While this seems like an unlikely mistake—the pedals are in different positions—it does commonly happen and it causes serious injuries when it does.
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.
Current research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found that new trends in car design could be contributing to an increase in pedestrian fatalities in car crashes, even with innovative new safety features rolled out by car manufacturers.
If you’re in a car collision and you suspect poor car design could have played a role in your crash or your injuries, you’ll want to get the facts. You can find out more by speaking with a Hollywood car accident attorney at Flaxman Law Group. Our offices in Miami, Hollywood, and Homestead offer a free accident consultation if you’ve been injured.
Florida has about 12,592 bridges, and while these help us get to and from Hollywood, Miami, and other communities, accidents on these structures have unique risks. There are fewer places to go on a bridge, for example and it can be harder to get out of the way to avoid a crash.
If you’ve been in a collision on one of Florida’s many bridges, chances are you’ve suffered serious injury, or your car has sustained significant damage. In these situations, we invite you to contact us at Flaxman Law Group. Our family-founded law firm would be pleased to offer you a free accident consultation with a Hollywood car accident attorney, so you can learn more about your rights.
Despite the efforts of communities and law enforcement, DUI accidents continue to be a challenge in Miami, Hollywood, and other Florida communities. These serious accidents are tragic at any time of year, but especially so during the holidays. Families are devastated when a loved one is seriously injured or killed by an impaired driver.
The family-based team at Flaxman Law Group has seen firsthand how devastating DUI accidents can be, because we’ve worked with many families and injured people over the years who have had their lives permanently changed because of an impaired driver. We’ve put together this list of myths that contribute to DUI accidents in our community, to help you avoid these crashes.
For most people, car accidents are complicated enough. There are insurance companies to deal with, other drivers who may be at fault, and injuries to cope with.
For people who are in an accident at work, though, the stakes can be even higher. An employee in a car crash may be worried about losing their job or getting into trouble at work. The legal team at Flaxman Law Group also hears from injured workers who worry that they won’t qualify for workers’ compensation benefits or that their benefits won’t cover their costs.
