Your Car May Need a Check-Up After a Car Collision, Too

Published on: August 30, 2022 | By Flaxman Law Group

If you’ve been in a car crash in South Florida, you might already know you need to see a doctor. You may be experiencing pain or have suffered an obvious injury. Or, perhaps you’ve been lucky enough to walk away from the crash. In this case, it’s still a good idea to visit a medical professional to rule out soft tissue injury, head trauma, and other serious injury.

Your car, too, needs to be checked out. Even if the car seems to be handling fine after your collision, there may be damage.

Published on: October 15, 2021 | By Flaxman Law Group

In South Florida communities like Plantation, car sharing is relatively new and insurers are still working out liability issues and claims in situations involving this model. If you are injured in a collision involving a car sharing vehicle, it’s important to work with a Plantation car collision claims attorney because your case may be complicated.

Car sharing can be a good solution for drivers. There are a few types of car sharing. In one type of car sharing, a company purchases a fleet of cars and rents them on a short-term basis to customers who pay to use cars by the hour. If you’re in a collision with one of these cars, the insurance is not very different than being in a collision with a rental car. More complex than being in a crash with a regular driver—there are more parties involved, after all—but familiar.

Current Miami Car Accident Statistics You Need to Know

Published on: September 29, 2021 | By Flaxman Law Group
