Injured University of Miami student hires Alex Perkins to be his Miami Car Accident Lawyer.
A seriously injured University of Miami student was glad he hired Miami car accident lawyer Alex Perkins who settled his claim in just a few short months. This past summer, University of Miami theatre student, Josh, was walking to the Coral Gables campus from his house, when he was suddenly struck by a car while legally crossing the street in the marked pedestrian crosswalk. Josh was hit from his left side by the vehicle which was being driven by a woman without a driver’s license and who was careless and not paying attention. The violent impact caused Josh him to be thrown onto the hood and windshield and then propelled into the air and into a tree ten feet away. He was rendered unconscious, suffered a concussion, multiple broken bones, a collapsed lung, renal contusion, and lacerations in his head requiring staples. The force of the impact was so great that his body made a dent in A-frame pillar, fender and side view mirror. His hair was left in the broken windshield. Miraculously, Josh survived and did not require any major surgery. But he and his family quickly realized they needed to call a Miami car accident lawyer.
The insurance companies defending the woman who hit Josh denied liability because the woman claimed Josh was not in the crosswalk and had headphones on. The police officer wrote up the police report that way because Josh was unable to speak at the accident scene. The police report diagram showed Josh’s body outside of the cross walk. Upset by what happened, Josh and his parents back in California, began their search for a Miami car accident lawyer.

It was wide open four way intersection with painted crosswalks and even yellow warning signs. Miami car accident lawyer Alex Perkins quickly realized that the police report and the defendants version of events did not add up.
