What to do after a car accident
Negligence: This is usually listed as the number one cause of car accidents in South Florida. Someone was not paying enough attention to traffic or road conditions.
Speeding & Alcohol: These are also huge contributors to traffic accidents. In either case, the driver is usually aware of the condition but ignores it.
Product Liability: The car itself is the problem here, such as a defective tire that blows. In this case, the manufacturer may be held accountable for the accident even though there was no actual intent to cause harm.
Type of Accidents
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents. It could be a street race gone horribly wrong or a poor driver ignoring a stop sign. The results are tragic and costly. If you’ve been injured by a reckless driver, the Mager Parúas team can help you get a fair settlement and put your life back together.
Hit and Run
A hit and run accident occurs when the person causing the car accident flees the accident instead of waiting for the police to arrive and doing the right thing. Even though they are at fault, you cannot pursue a claim against them if you don’t know who they are. In these cases, you need help to file a claim with your insurance company.
Impaired Driving
Driving while impaired means operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicant like narcotics. It is defined in the United States as a blood alcohol content (BAC) greater than or equal to 0.08% (mass of alcohol per volume of blood in the body). It is extremely dangerous and one of the leading causes of fatal car accidents.
Defective Vehicle Accident
Sometimes an accident is caused by a defect in the vehicle. Perhaps it affects your ability to brake or a safety system like a seatbelt fails. In those cases, you may be able to pursue a claim against the car manufacturer and their vendors.
Commercial Truck Accident
Truck versus car. The results are devastating. Your car is probably totaled. Injuries to you and your passengers are often severe or fatal. You might need physical therapy and other medical services for the rest of your life. If you’ve been in an accident with a commercial vehicle, you need help immediately. Trucking companies have team of people to clean up accident scenes and protect their interests. Get the Mager Parúas team to protect yours. We work to protect the rights of truck wreck victims in South Florida.
Distracted Driving Accident
Distracted driving is dangerous and deadly. In 2019, distracted driving was responsible for ending 3,142 lives. What is distracted driving? It is any activity that diverts the attention of the driver from road, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, adjusting the radio or GPS. Texting is the most common and deadly distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for at least 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that’s the equivalent of driving the length of an entire football field blindfolded.
