The latest car recall

Add GM to the list of car manufacturers issuing a large recall for some of their automobiles this year. Doesn’t sound quite as bad as the problems at Toyota but it’s only day one. I have only briefly glimpsed at the available related stories – the funniest of which is that GM is blaming it’s woes on a part supplier owned by Toyota.

Come on General Motors – stand up and take it like a big boy. They were quick to lease their monthly sales reports this morning. Was that because they were good sales or to try and throw up some smoke for cover?

I’ll let you be the judge. Please take a look at the GM press release to find out if your vehicle is being recalled for some potential power steering problems.

Gas prices got you down

I keep on hoping that gas prices will go back down towards two dollars but I am thinking those days are well behind us. At least I am not paying five dollars per gallon for diesel in my truck anymore. It would get really aggravating when the pump would shut off it cost too much to fill up. One time I had to reactivate the pump three times with my credit card just to fill it up.

One of our Jacksonville injury lawyers, Greg Schlax, sent me a link to a Department of Energy website that gives some fuel saving tips and other useful information. Check it out!

Big Toyota recall

Do you own one of these cars or trucks? Add the 2010 Toyota Prius to the list for bad brakes

• 2009-2010 Matrix
• 2005-2010 Avalon
• 2007-2010 Camry

Full coverage auto insurance

I can’t count the number of times a potential client has called and told me they had full coverage for car insurance only to find out they had the bare bones State of Florida required coverage PIP & PD or as most people say PIP and liability. They just have no idea what that means in reality and are shocked when they learn what it does or doesn’t do.

Sadly, most people don’t learn anything about their auto insurance until AFTER they have been injured in a car accident and they call an attorney.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to learn what you have or worse yet – DON’T have on your auto insurance policy. Call Harrell and Harrell for your free consultation or submit your questions through our website at www.harrellandharrell.com

We would be glad to explain what your insurance company or agent has never taken the time to explain or you have just never bothered listening to the details. Some insurance quotes are cheaper for a reason – less valuable coverage!

Don’t settle for less than you deserve!

Big traffic accident

Two semi trucks collided while travelling south on Interstate 95 this morning leaving one of the drivers dead. The truck accident happened just south of the St John’s County / Flagler County line.  Traffic is a mess on 95 and on US 1 near 95.  Only reason I know about the traffic is that my wife is stuck in it trying to get down to Orlando.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the truck driver and his/her family. Just a reminder of how quickly our lives can change. Please be careful on the roads as everyone starts to travel to family and friends for the holidays.
