Red Light Running and Hollywood Car Crashes

Published on: February 2, 2024 | By Flaxman Law Group

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), about 1,109 of the nation’s car accident fatalities in 2021 were caused by drivers running red lights. Florida law makes it clear that continuing to drive when you have a red light is a criminal offence. If you’re injured by a driver running a red light, you also have the right to file a legal claim and seek compensation for your injuries.

Senior Pedestrians and Hollywood Car Accidents

Published on: January 5, 2024 | By Flaxman Law Group

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.

Pedal Car Accidents in Hollywood

Published on: December 22, 2023 | By Flaxman Law Group

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.
