South Florida Car Accidents Involving Buildings

Published on: April 19, 2024 | By Flaxman Law Group

You might see it in the news: a report of a driver crashing their car into a restaurant, office, or other building. It may seem rare, but each year over 500 people are killed across the United States due to these types of accidents. This means that car-into-building crashes are responsible for more American deaths than tornadoes, lightning, and earthquakes combined.

Part of the trouble is that these accidents can cause a lot of damage not just to the car but also the building, potentially causing injuries to those inside. If you’re injured in this kind of crash, your injuries are likely to be severe and you’ll want to seek every dollar of compensation you are eligible for, so you can pay for your potentially high costs. To start discussing how much your claim may be worth, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free consultation with a South Florida car accident claims attorney. Our boutique, family-based law firm has offices in Miami, Homestead, Hollywood, and even Denver so we can make a difference for injured plaintiffs across Florida and Colorado.

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.

Parking Lot Safety and Holiday Shopping

Published on: December 16, 2015 | By Flaxman Law Group

With holiday shopping in full swing, you need to be aware that if you’re taking your car to Hollywood and South Florida retail areas, you need to use added caution. According to insurers, up to a quarter of car accidents during the holiday season are parking lot accidents.

Although parking lot accidents tend to be lower speed accidents and therefore less likely than trucking collisions to lead to permanent injuries and fatalities, they can still be serious. An unexpected parking lot accident or rear end accident in a Hollywood shopping area can lead to whiplash, head trauma, and other serious injuries. In addition, if you’re struck by a car as you’re walking to or from a store, your injuries can be life-threatening. As a pedestrian, you are simply more at risk for serious, even fatal injuries.
