Many cars involve another driver, but every day some motorists crash into a railing, wall, building, tree, or other stationary object. Many people believe that if there’s no other driver, they’re at fault and they have no claim. This just isn’t true. Even if you think you may have contributed to your crash or aren’t sure you have a claim, get the facts about your rights. Contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation before you make any decisions.

Car Accidents When You Drive as Part of Your Job
For most people, car accidents are complicated enough. There are insurance companies to deal with, other drivers who may be at fault, and injuries to cope with.
For people who are in an accident at work, though, the stakes can be even higher. An employee in a car crash may be worried about losing their job or getting into trouble at work. The legal team at Flaxman Law Group also hears from injured workers who worry that they won’t qualify for workers’ compensation benefits or that their benefits won’t cover their costs.
ADHD and Florida Car Accidents
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.

How to Protect Yourself from Water-Related Crashes in Florida
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.
