Miami Car Accident Lawyer News: The condition of roads is important – you have to drive on them, after all. There are many hazards on the roadways that can cause accidents, potentially leading to damage and injuries. Some hazards are seasonal and really can't be avoided or blamed on someone else. Ice, snow, rain, and high winds can't be controlled. Such events can leave the roads littered with debris, which can lead to accidents. Other road hazards are more directly controllable.

Should You Carry Uninsured Motorist Coverage - Miami Car Accident Lawyer

Miami Car Accident Lawyer News: Florida doesn’t require all that much in the way of automobile insurance.  When you register your car, you need only prove that you have the minimum coverage required by law, which is $10,000 in personal injury protection and $10,000 in property damage liability coverage. Even with those minimal requirements, about one in five South Florida drivers, including the Miami area, does not carry any auto insurance.  If you are in an accident where the other driver is at fault but has no auto insurance, you stand a good chance of winning a court judgment for...

Miami Car Accident Lawyer News: When people injured in a traffic accident talk to a lawyer about recovering damages for their injuries, they are presented with options.

Pedestrian Deaths Are Near All-Time Highs - Miami Personal Injury Attorney

This increase came when traffic fatalities for occupants of vehicles were down 14 percent over the same time period. Given that juxtaposition, it should be no surprise that pedestrian fatalities posted a sharp increase during that period...

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (see chart) reports year-over-year employment of construction workers has increased nearly 20 percent in Miami, far outpacing the national average of 4 percent growth.

South Florida Real Estate News reports a fatal construction fall occurred before Christmas at the site of a 294-room motel under construction in Miami Beach.
