Miami Car Accident Lawyer shares insight into Lamborghini Accidents and Collisions
Being involved in an accident while driving a Lamborghini, or any other "super car", can mean serious losses and even wrongful death to drivers and third parties, given the characteristics of the vehicle and the speeds at which they are capable of reaching. With high speeds, the chances of losing control of the vehicle are high, as well as the probability of suffering or causing serious injuries and damages, especially when a Lamborghini can reach speeds of up to 220 mph, depending on the model.
With a price tag for a used Lamborghini set at roughly $200,000 and as much as $500,000 for a new Lamborghini, which varies according to model, condition, and year, suffering collision damage after an accident can easily put a serious dent into the Lamborghini owner’s budget. Fortunately, there are insurance policies especially designed for high profile sports vehicles with hefty price tags. Collision Coverage is the most common policy, which will cover the replacement of any damaged parts. Umbrella Coverage insurance is also quite common for safeguarding the cost of repairs and replacing any parts of a Lamborghini that suffers damages in an accident. The cost of insurance for a Lamborghini can range from $5000 to 8,000 per year, depending mainly on the model of Lamborghini and the vehicle owner’s driving record.
A Lamborghini is classified as an Exotic car and as we all know, everything considered exotic falls short of being labelled cheap or affordable. Thus, when a Lamborghini is damaged in an accident, repairs and replacements of parts can be devastating to the Lamborghini owner. That’s why it is important that Lamborghini owners, or the owner of any exotic vehicle, carry the right insurance policy to help cover the cost of repairs or replacement.
Lamborghini aims to ensure that all models of Lamborghinis feature the utmost safety standards which include sturdiness and the quality of its manufacturing and materials. The features that standout the most are its Electronic Stability Control and Roll Stability Control, which aim to make it safe for operating a high speed. However, not all pertaining to damages to Lamborghinis necessarily comprise driving accidents. Since most Lamborghinis are stored in garages, and though they are relatively safe from the elements of bad weather, vandalism, or theft, they can however suffer damage while in a public garage, given that parking lot accidents occur quite regularly.
After a collision involving a Lamborghini, the extent of the repair costs varies according to the extent of the damage. But basically, it can cost anywhere from $3000 to over 450,000 to repair a crashed Lamborghini. Drivers of conventional vehicles may not be aware of just how powerful a Lamborghini, or any other super car, is. A person driving a Lamborghini may be involved in an accident at anytime. Why? Because a Lamborghini can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, turning the vehicle into a sort of rocket, with the ability to almost take off the ground and go airborne. At this rate of acceleration, an inexperienced driver can easily spin out of and crash into any of the many object found on a typical city street. Only the Bugatti Chiron and the McLaren P1 are faster than the Lamborghini in the 0 - 60 stretch.
The type of insurance coverage that the Lamborghini owner carries is fundamental following an accident or collision that leaves the car in bad shape. According to Florida law, every registered vehicle owner must carry PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage, which covers up to $10,000 in compensation for medical expenses incurred as a result of the accident. Sadly, $10,000 will barely cover basic medical care such as a visit to a doctor, a few x-rays, and perhaps an MRI. If the accident victim suffers injuries, PIP coverage will not be enough to cover the cost of physical treatment or rehab. Thus, Comprehensive Coverage, together with an Umbrella policy is what a Lamborghini owner should carry to safeguard his/her assets in the event of an accident.
ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS
Rollover accidents occur when a car or truck crashes into and flips over an obstacle or object such as a curb, guardrail, divider, pothole, or other object in which the impact causes the vehicle to flip in the air and land upside down. Another way for a car or truck to flip over is when the driver maneuvers the vehicle violently in one direction by turning the wheel too abruptly at a high speed. High speeds are usually one of the main reasons why a vehicle flips over. Rollover accidents, in normal cars, usually require that the occupants of the vehicle be removed with the help of chainsaws and other machinery such as the "jaws of life," a hydraulic tool used to cut through metal and release people from confined spaces usually made of metal and bent out of shape. In a rollover accident, the jaws of life are regularly used and the cost of implementing this instrument may cost some $500. Not a bad price for saving a person's life when trapped inside a smashed vehicle after an accident.
CAR SHOW LIABILITY
Can the organizer of a car show be held liable for an accident involving Super Cars such as a Lamborghini?
Yes. A car show organizer can be held legally liable for accidents involving a Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, McLaren, or any other Super Car. How? Through the expertise of an experienced Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer, fault and negligence may be determined, especially if the car show organizer failed to properly warn or instruct the drivers of these vehicles of the possible dangers involved in driving at high speeds or recklessly. Also, an experienced car accident lawyer, like Jonathan Perazzo, founder and car accident lawyer at the Perazzo Law Firm, understands that car show organizers may play an important role in inciting driving at high speeds. With monthly gatherings of car enthusiasts, which take place at several venues such as Pembroke Gardens in Pembroke Pines, Florida, Lamborghini drivers are eager to let their engines roar to and from the car shows. Most of these supercar events are presented by Lamborghini, Bugatti Broward, Koenigsegg Florida, and Exotics in Las Olas. These events are free and open to the public and gather some of the most luxurious sportscars. Sadly, to and from these events, the drivers of these sportscars don't hesitate to literary race their vehicles along the highways, streets, and avenues they take.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that every ten seconds, someone in the United States boards an automobile, either as a driver or passenger. At the Perazzo Law Firm, any individual injured in a car accident is recommended to seek the professional legal advice of a dedicated and experienced personal injury lawyer specializing in motor vehicle accidents. Why? Because the legal system following a car accident is very complex, and without the help of a professional car accident lawyer, the accident victim may lose out on obtaining compensation to cover injuries or losses. Furthermore, insurance providers will almost always try to take advantage of accident victims by offering very low settlements or no settlement at all to cover the victim’s losses. These losses can include:
