The front and rear end of a vehicle have bumpers and crumple zones. Unfortunately, the sides do not. If you are in a sideswipe or broadside collision, this lack of crumple zones and bumpers can mean that you are at risk for serious injury. In fact, only head-on collisions have more fatalities than broadside collisions. The lack of protection on the sides of the vehicle mean that passengers are extremely vulnerable in a sideswipe car or truck accident in Hallandale Beach and other communities.
The attorneys at Flaxman Law Group have found that many broadside collisions are preventable and are caused by drunk driving, driver distraction, and other forms of negligence. In these cases, it is possible for survivors to seek fair compensation for their injuries through a legal claim or through negotiation with insurance carriers. To find out how much your case may be worth and to find out whether you have a case, you can always contact Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626 to arrange for a free, confidential case consultation about your situation.
