When drivers get a license in Florida, they need to pass a vision test and prove they have at least 20/70 vision. Drivers who do not meet this minimum standard have restriction code A on their licenses, meaning they must wear corrective lenses whenever they’re driving. Drives who cannot meet the minimum standard for vision (for example, individuals who need glasses with telescopic lenses or individuals who cannot meet the minimum vision requirements with corrective lenses) may not get their license.

The problem is that vision can decline over time, often gradually, and some drivers with vision problems may not wear corrective lenses or take other precautions. If this kind of driver causes an accident that results in your injury, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation with a Hollywood car accident injury lawyer. You may have a claim.

Snowbirds come to Miami and Southern Florida for the wonderful weather every winter. Some even have permanent addresses in the area so they can escape the snow in the Northern States, Canada, and even Europe.

If you’re a snowbird and get into a car accident in Miami, however, your case may cross borders. There may be additional complexities. And if you’re a local resident involved in a traffic accident with a Snowbird, you may wonder how someone with a car insurance policy from another state (or another country!) will affect your claim. In both cases, you can always contact Flaxman Law Group for a consultation with a Miami accident claims attorney to get answers.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), about 1,109 of the nation’s car accident fatalities in 2021 were caused by drivers running red lights. Florida law makes it clear that continuing to drive when you have a red light is a criminal offence. If you’re injured by a driver running a red light, you also have the right to file a legal claim and seek compensation for your injuries.

More fatal car accidents happen at night than at any other time of the day, even though there are far fewer cars on the road during the night. Nighttime car collisions bring extra risks and can make it harder for you to make a claim. If you’ve been in this kind of crash, don’t hesitate: contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation with a Hollywood car accident claims lawyer. Let’s discuss your potential case and what it may be worth.

It’s not uncommon for car accidents in Hollywood to happen because a driver pressed the accelerator instead of the brake by accident. While this seems like an unlikely mistake—the pedals are in different positions—it does commonly happen and it causes serious injuries when it does.

If you’ve been injured because another driver negligently sped up instead of stopping at an intersection or anywhere else on the road, you may have a claim. Florida law may allow you to seek compensation to cover your lost wages, car repair bills, hospital and medical treatment costs, and more. However, you may not get the full amount you’re entitled to just by filing an insurance claim. To find out more, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation with a Hollywood car accident claims lawyer.

A recent study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health established a link between adults with ADHD and car crashes. The study concluded that older adults with ADHD were 74% more likely to be in a collision and 102% more likely to get traffic tickets than non-neurodivergent drivers of the same age (65 to 79).

I had a lawyer on another case and I never spoke to the lawyer and I hated that I never knew what was going on in my case. Mr. Flaxman was in constant communication with me, explained everything to me, and his staff was really great too. My phone calls were always returned immediately. It was refreshing to be able to speak to my attorney personally. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Flaxman as an attorney to anyone who has been in an accident. Gloria
