Car Accidents | Hollywood, Florida Auto Injury Lawyers Flaxman Law Group

If you have an injury from a car accident, it is important to know your rights.

Unfortunately, car accidents are a fact of life, and although enhanced safety features on late-model cars help to reduce the risk of injury, they can still cause much more than just automobile damage. In 2009, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported 2558 fatal crashes on Florida roads; however, even a non-fatal car accident can result in an injury that can be just as devastating to an individual or to a family—particularly if they involve an injury for which full recovery can take weeks or even months, or where the injury causes a permanent disability such as a brain injury or spinal cord injury. In addition, a car accident injury can result in expensive emergency care and a lengthy hospital stay. An accident can also have additional or long-term financial impacts, such as hindering your ability to perform your job, requiring costly home-care from a professional care-giver, or creating a need for medical devices or recuperative therapy. Speaking with a Hollywood car accident attorney after your crash is essential to protect your rights.

Why an Attorney is Important After Your Car Collision in South Florida

If you’ve been in a car accident and suffered an injury, it is critical that you be able to assess your rights, responsibilities, and remedies, in order to make sure that you are obtaining what you need to fully recover, both medically and financially. This is especially important because you may not be able to carefully and immediately assess how the car accident occurred, to gather information, to speak to and identify witnesses and other drivers involved, or to talk to emergency personnel at the scene.

This is where a car accident attorney at the Miami, Homestead, or Hollywood offices of the Flaxman Law Group can help. If you have suffered an injury in a car accident in South Florida, our attorneys are prepared to handle all your concerns, including evaluating and investigating issues such as who was involved and who is at fault, the amount of coverage afforded by the insurance policies of the party or parties involved, and calculating your out-of-pocket expenses from property damage and immediate medical care. But perhaps more importantly, our professionals can help you to assess more complicated consequences that may result from your car accident injury, such as your actual and potential loss due to pain and suffering or mental anguish, your actual and potential lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and loss of consortium.
