My Car is Wrecked. Should I Take Pictures?

Chances are, in an accident where your car is totaled or, at the very least, significantly damaged, you will be shaken. Those kinds of accidents take a toll on both drivers and passengers.

An accident just happened, what should I do?

In Central Florida, with so much traffic, unpredictable weather, and heavy construction, there’s a good chance that you, or someone you know, or someone you love will be involved in an accident at one time or another, be it serious or minor.

What Does Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney Actually Mean?

What is Medical Negligence?

To understand medical negligence, we have to first understand the concept of negligence on its own. Simply put, negligence is another way of describing the party at fault in an accident, whether intentional or otherwise.

When you or someone you love has been injured, whether minorly or catastrophically, it can be difficult to determine right away just how many factors are at work in determining the value of your case.

Active Shooter Insurance

Even in the shadow of Columbine, no one could have imagined, ten or twenty or thirty years ago, that school districts would have the option of acquiring Active Shooter Insurance. But after the Parkland tragedy last month, at least seven districts in South Florida have done just that. This is not in any way related to the ongoing debates over school security, but rather, has everything to do with the costs of aiding individuals and families of anyone who happens to get injured or killed during an unexpected incident.
