En la Florida, los conductores de automóviles y vehículos motorizados están exigidos por ley a contratar PIP (Personal Injury Protection) y PD (Property Damage) para cubrir lesiones y daños en caso de un accidente de tránsito. Sin embargo, estos dos seguros muy a menudo no alcanzan para cubrir la totalidad de los gastos médicos o daños a la propiedad de aquellos que son victimas de accidentes. Cuando un automovilista es encontrado culpable por lesiones o daños, es el seguro PIP y PD que se hará cargo por hasta $10,000 pesos. Sin embargo, los accidentes pueden superara este monto muy fácilmente, teniendo en cuenta que una lesión como un brazo roto, puede llegar a costar $20,000 en gastos médicos. Por esta razón, la Firma de Abogados Perazzo Law le informa a los conductores de la comunidad Hispana, sobre los seguro de automotores que existen en la Florida, y como pueden ayudar a cubrir los costos involucrados o como consecuencia de un accidente de transito de lo cual pueden o no estar culpables.

Con el creciente número de estadounidenses usando aplicaciones para compartir viajes, saber cómo mantenerse a salvo durante un viaje en Uber o Lyft es muy importante. Si usted es uno de los 36% de los adultos de EE. UU. Que usan un servicio de transporte compartido, probablemente se haya preguntado qué sucedería si tuviera un accidente mientras estaba en un Uber o Lyft. Después de todo, es una pregunta racional con muchas implicaciones potenciales.

The Undervalued Importance of Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Though PIP (Personal Injury Protection) and PD (Property Damage) insurance are mandatory in Florida, uninsured (UM) and under-insured motorist (UIM) coverage tend to fly under the radar when it comes to the value they add when an accident occurs; especially when accident victims suffer severe personal injuries, damages, lost wages or wrongful death. According to the Perazzo Law Firm’s professional and experienced staff of car accident attorneys, uninsured motorist insurance (UM) is perhaps the most important insurance coverage a vehicle owner can carry. Why? Because the number of uninsured or under-insured motorists on Florida roadways and city avenues and streets is overwhelming. In fact, Florida ranks 5th nationwide when it comes to uninsured drivers. Another reason why UM is so highly recommended by the Perazzo Law Firm, is that UM is relatively cheap compared to the medical expenses that personal injuries may entail following an accident. Though PIP will cover your personal injuries for as much as $10,000, not all of it will go to cover your medical expenses (see PIP), which will undoubtedly surpass said amount for even a minor injury such as a broken nose. Furthermore, PIP fails to contemplate the victim’s suffering, lost wages, or damages to the accident victim’s vehicle.  Thus, the accident victim will need to pay out-of-pocket to cover the costs brought on for another motorist’s negligence. To safeguard your finances in the event of an accident involving an under-insured or uninsured motorist, in Miami, the Perazzo Law Firm, highly recommends contacting your insurance provider and ask about UM. In most cases, insurance companies do not offer UM because it is relatively cheap and they will have to pay-out in the event of injuries and losses that the policy holder has to face. Furthermore, it’s no secret that insurance companies are in the business of making money not spending it; hence, their reluctance to raise the policy holder’s awareness to the overall importance of carrying UM. Though UM offers great value in the event of an accident with a motorists that only carries PIP and PD, it is of enormous value when the driver at fault has no insurance. Motorists that have no insurance usually have limited assets, thus, they would not be able to cover any of the accident victim or victims’ losses. It is important to point out that purchasing UM is only possible when the vehicle owner carries Bodily Injury Coverage (BI), which covers the policy holder’s assets if found at fault for an accident that leads to personal injury, losses, or wrongful death. Also, there are two types of UM available: Stacked and Unstacked.

FLYING CARS IN MIAMI?

The top of the Miami Paramount Worldcenter Complex is set to become the site for the first parking lot for flying cars. Keeping in line with the high speed of technological progress that seems to be putting the future behind us, flying cars are just around the corner.  The developer of the sky port, Dan Kodsi, seems to have a firm futuristic grip on this imminent commuting revolution, which from atop the sixty-floor skyscraper located in downtown Miami, he envisions flying cars landing and taking-off. According to news reports, the ride-share service company, Uber, seems highly intent on winning the race to the sky. Uber plans to have several manufactures design and test prototypes of VTOLs (vertical takeoff and landing vehicles). If feasible, Uber may become the first transportation service company to fly passengers from a city street to a parking lot 1000 feet in the air. Though still under construction, the Paramount isn’t expected to serve as a flying car parking lot until 2020. In the meantime, the high-rise condo’s residents will be able to visit the glass-covered rooftop for breathtaking views of the Miami metropolitan area as they await the arrival of the first flying car.
