• TRUCK ACCIDENTS:

A truck accident involving an 18-wheeler or semi-truck is not like a common car accident. A truck cannot stop as quickly or maneuver nearly as well as a car can. Truck accident cases can be complex and expensive to prosecute. If you have been in a truck accident, you should realize that various possible defendants may be liable and responsible for compensating you for your injuries and losses. Sorting out negligent defendants is a complicated process, and another reason why prompt investigation and liability analysis are crucial in truck accident cases.

It is important to know your rights when injured in a trucking accident. These rights may be governed by both state and federal law that requires an experienced attorney to evaluate.

At the Law Offices of Itzhak Bachar, P.A. we will work with the insurance companies involved to make sure your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.

•  PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS:

Walking is the oldest form of transportation. In recent years more people try to walk often to stay healthy or get fit. However, there is more prevalent data that shows that due to cellphones and electronic devices people are distracted while they are walking and therefore becoming more dangerous. In 2017 the government of Highway Safety Association released a report whereby it shows that the number of pedestrians killed in traffic increased by 11 percent (11%) to nearly 6,000.

People who are hit by a car often suffer severe and life altering injuries as a result of being hit. The more common injuries include head and neck injury, nerve damage or spinal cord paralysis, back or hip injury or broken or dislocated a bone or limb. Although sometimes the injuries may be temporary, often there are long-term effects of those injuries. The Law Offices of Itzhak Bachar, P.A. represents pedestrians who have suffered personal injuries in the South Florida area, or who may be a survivor of a pedestrian killed in a road accident as a result of the reckless or negligent conduct of another person.

Attorney Bachar’s advice to pedestrians is to use the following safety measurement:

1. Use crosswalks when crossing the street
2. Stay on sidewalks whenever possible and stay off your cellphones 
3. Avoid walking along Highways or other roadways where pedestrians are not supposed to walk

At the Law Offices of Itzhak Bachar, P.A. our team will work with the victim, their family and the insurance companies involved to make sure your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.

•  UNINSURED MOTORIST:

Even though drivers in Florida are required to have insurance, many drivers ignore that law and drive without any insurance coverage. Florida's uninsured motorist law may provide you protection. Just so you know, the Florida law requires a person making a claim under the uninsured motorist law to take certain procedural steps prior to making a claim.

How will you pay your medical bills if the other driver is uninsured? What if a passenger in your car is seriously injured? And who pays to fix the car? Don't worry, contact The Law Office of Itzhak Bachar, P.A. to discuss uninsured motorist coverage.
