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).
More research is needed to uncover the link between medical conditions such as ADHD and the risk of car accident. The more research is available, the more we can support drivers in staying safe and support injured plaintiffs in getting the financial recovery they need. The team at Flaxman Law Group has put together this guide to help you understand the latest research. If you find yourself injured in a car accident and need more help, contact our Miami, Hollywood, and Homestead offices for a free accident consultation with a Florida car accident attorney.
As the holiday season approaches, there’s a surge in holiday shopping.

Florida is home to more than 4000 species of animals and over 520 native bird species, making it one of the most bio-diverse states in the country. While all this wildlife adds to the natural beauty of the area, wildlife and cars are a bad mix. Each year, people are injured or killed because of crashes involving animals.
If you find yourself injured after a car collision involving an alligator, bear, deer, or any other wildlife, give Flaxman Law Group a call at 866-352-9626. Our compassionate, family-based legal team has already recovered over $100 million for our clients and we’d be pleased to offer you a free accident consultation so you can talk to a Hollywood car accident claims lawyer about your crash and about any options you might have for compensation.
At this time of year, many homes and public spaces across Hollywood are looking beautiful and festive with holiday decorations.

We’ve put together this guide to keep you safe all season long.
If you are injured by holiday decorations in Hollywood or anywhere in Southern Florida, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free, no-risk consultation with a Hollywood car accident claims attorney.

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.
The legal team at Flaxman Law Group has worked with many car accident survivors who have been injured because of flooding and water-related car crashes. Our team has recovered over $100 million for these and other survivors and if you’re injured we invite you to contact our Miami, Hollywood, or Homestead offices for a free accident consultation. We can talk about ways you can seek fair compensation for your injuries.
In Florida, good weather allows road work and construction projects to be completed year-round, but this can cause delays and even crashes on the streets of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and other communities.

Our offices in Hollywood, Homestead, and Miami are conveniently located to serve you and our family-founded law firm brings compassion and years of trial and negotiation experience to every case.
Despite a name that could be ominous to non-Florida residents, Alligator Alley is a popular 80-mile stretch of road for both tourists and residents traveling to Miami Beach and driving between Fort Lauderdale and Naples. Built in 1968, Alligator Alley is a toll road that runs through the everglades and is part of I-75.
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:
