Coral Gables Distracted Driving

Distracted driving involves any activity that can take your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, or your mind off of driving. Much has been written in recent years about distracted driving caused by cell phones and mobile devices, but any sort of distraction can lead to a serious accident. Speaking with other passengers, looking at scenery or a construction site, daydreaming, or changing the music can all lead to a traffic accident in Coral Gables if it the activities take your mind off of driving for even a few seconds.

If you have been injured due to a driver’s negligence or recklessness, do not delay. Contact Flaxman Law Group today for a free, no obligation case evaluation.

How Much Does Insurance Protect You After an Accident?

If you have been injured in a car accident in Coral Gables or anywhere in South Florida, you may assume that you are covered because you have car insurance. However, how can you be sure that the amount being offered by your insurance carrier is fair? The reality is that it can be very difficult to tell, which is why it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney in order to get legal advice before you make any final decisions in your case. Keep in mind that once you accept an insurance offer it may be very difficult to get more compensation down the line – even if you realize that the amount of money being offered by your insurance company does not fully compensate you for your lost income, medical bills, and other expenses.

If a driver has injured you because they were driving distracted, you may have the basis for a legitimate legal claim. To find out whether you have a claim and to find out what your claim may be worth, contact Flaxman Law Group today for a free, no obligation case evaluation.
