There’s no question that rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have transformed transportation throughout Florida. Rideshares give consumers a convenient alternative to get around town or to earn extra cash. But if an accident happens and someone is injured in a rideshare crash, the insurance rules for compensation can be confusing for everyone involved. In…
When something goes wrong and our health declines, we turn to medical professionals. Men and women who have spent countless years of their lives pursuing the knowledge to treat what ails us. We trust our lives, and the lives of our loved ones, in their care when things get tough. That makes the topic of…
Who doesn’t love a good walk? With our Florida weather, we can go outside to enjoy the warm weather for most of the year. Outside of our unpredictable rain, we live in a perfect place for walking in our communities. Or so it seems. A recent study calls into question that belief when it comes…
A couple of weeks ago, I looked at the shocking new study that had come out from the AAA Foundation that discussed the record high in deaths caused by running red lights. We’re back with a bit of a follow-up on that original blog article. Taking the information from the study and looking at Tampa…

After decades of statistics and public service announcements, we all know the danger of driving while intoxicated. We know that thousands of people die every single year because of it. We have taxis, public transportation and even…
Well, Floridians, we narrowly escaped the potential destruction of Hurricane Dorian. The pictures and videos showing the devastation it caused in the Bahamas are terrifying to say the least. While we missed this storm, we are still securely in hurricane season for the Atlantic. If you’ve been following the news lately, you’re probably aware that…
If there is one thing that we’ve continued to preach throughout our blogs, it’s that nothing is more important than arriving alive. I know how tempting it can be to press the gas a little bit harder or to drive a bit more recklessly when you’re running late. In our line of work, we see…
Sometimes it feels like people will never be safe, respectful drivers. You can create 100 PSAs and spend millions educating people and yet you’ll never fix everyone. We’ve spent years highlighting the importance of defensive driving for our communities in Tampa and Winter Haven as personal injury attorneys. Every day we come face to face…
