Florida is surrounded by water, with close to 1,700 rivers and streams, over 30,000 lakes, and about 1,350 miles of coastline. All that water creates stunning sunset views and lots of opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, and more. Unfortunately, it can also pose a risk for drivers, especially with the more than 54 inches of rain falling in the state, on average.

Because the everglades stretch on both sides of Alligator Alley, the scenery is stunning. However, there are also few services along this part of the I-75 and as the name suggests, there is a significant amount of wildlife, which contributes to car accidents along this corridor. While the roadside is fenced off, car crashes still do happen. Here’s how to reduce your risk:

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
