QUÉ HACER DESPUÉS DE QUE SU CASA SEA DAÑADA POR UNA TORMENTA
En Miami, los daños causados por huracanes y tormentas pueden perjudicarlo financiera y emocionalmente. Los daños causados por huracanes, como inundaciones y cortes de electricidad, también pueden poner en peligro la vida de las personas que viven en la casa y ser devastadores para cualquier familia. Durante la temporada de huracanes, los abogados del Perazzo Law Firm en Miami recomiendan que los propietarios conozcan sus derechos cuando un huracán o tormentas causan daños a su propiedad o lesiones a los miembros del hogar. Sufrir cualquier daño en el hogar puede ser difícil cuando se rechaza su reclamo de seguro, aunque de lo contrario debería ser una pérdida cubierta. La mejor solución para prevenir daños a la propiedad es la preparación antes de una depresión tropical severa o un huracán. En previsión de cualquier daño a su hogar, recomendamos planificar con anticipación dejando de lado su póliza, la información de contacto de su compañía de seguros y el ajustador, un especialista calificado en reparaciones para cualquier tipo de daño que pueda ocurrir (es decir, plomero, techador).
The Third District Court of Appeal in Miami has ruled that a subcontractor was at fault for a fire that started within a condo during its renovation. According to the court facts, painters hired by the Brother’s Painting and Pressure Cleaning Corp, acted negligently when they failed to properly dispose of a stain-soaked rag, which was placed inside a plastic trashcan. Somehow the rag caught fire and led to damages to the condominium’s interior. Meanwhile, the court has ruled that the general contractor is a passive actor in the case and worthy of indemnification on the grounds that the subcontractor was hired to carry out the painting work without causing property damage or injury to its dwellers. However, the subcontractors disagree on the basis that the general contractor was indeed negligent, and no indemnification is owed for damages to the condo. The final ruling is awaiting confirmation by the Circuit Court for Monroe County.
Miami: Uber fraud involving fare adjustments to clean-up bodily fluid stains left behind by passengers is on the rise in Miami.

In other words, an Uber passenger will get dropped-off just fine, then notice an added fee tacked-on to their bill, holding the passenger responsible for soiling the Uber driver’s vehicle. The fee ranges from $80 – $150 depending on the Uber driver’s personal scam level. Sadly, there is not much the passenger can do but to contact the Uber helpline and receive a reply that does nothing to revert the clean-up fee, as it’s basically the Uber driver’s word against the passengers. In Uber’s defense, there exist rides in which passengers do indeed get sick during a ride for reasons which may go from motion sickness, to passengers boarding with an excess of food, alcohol, or narcotics in them. Whatever the case, Uber vomit fraud indeed exists in Miami. But what to do to prevent Uber vomit fraud? Firstly, report the case to Uber via the help button on the Uber website. Unfortunately, this may prove useless as the fraudulent Uber driver may have already submitted bogus photos of his/her soiled vehicle seat. Vomit is not alone when it comes to fraudulent clean-up claims by Uber drivers on unsuspecting Uber passengers. Liquids such as beer, wine, whiskey, blood, and even urine are on the clean-up list. As well as muddy footwear or soiled clothing leaving stains or odors. An Uber spokesperson has stated that they are looking into possible fraud cases to safeguard passenger satisfaction. However, it’s hard to prove whether or not a passenger does indeed dirty an Uber driver’s vehicle. The spokesperson added;
