Over the last several decades accidents have been on the decline. However, in the last few years, they have began to increase again. This is particularly dangerous when a semi-truck is involved in the accident.

Accidents involving large trucks, like tractor trailers, are usually more devastating to the other vehicles, due the the size differences and number of occupants of the smaller cars involved. It is likely that more of these accidents will occur in the next month as more products are being delivered for the holiday season.

The most dangerous time to share the road with large trucks is during the early afternoon. Nearly 20% of accidents occur between noon and 3 p.m. And weekends also account for almost 20% of these types of accidents.

If you were involved in an accident with a large truck, then contact us today. We will review the facts of your case and let you know what your options are. ... See more

The only place 156PMH could be considered a safe speed is on a race track in a car being driven by a professional. Even then, as any professional driver will tell you, it depends on the conditions of the road and the other drivers around you.

Excessive speed is a contributing factor for 9% of accident-related fatalities in the state of Florida. Nearly one person per day dies on Florida roads because a driver going faster than the posted speed limit or to conditions allowed.

Speed limits are posted for two reasons. The first is to ensure drivers are mindful of the road itself. The second is to keep the flow of traffic consistent.

Speed limits are based on several factors including the materials used to construct the road, how many lanes it has, and where the road goes. Limits are intended to establish a standard that allows normal drivers the time to react safely if there is a problem on the roadway.

Staying at the speed limit keeps you, and the other drivers around you, safe. We all run late from time to time, but it's better to get there in one piece than not at all.

Using your phone while driving is dangerous. There are laws against texting and driving. Distracted driving is the likely cause behind almost 1 million accidents per year.

Even common sense will tell you to put the phone down and pay attention to the road, yet it happens every day.

The text can wait. That call can be ignored. And if you're just trying to find where you're going, it's better to pull over before opening your maps app. After all, you might be pointed in the wrong direction.

While accidents will still happen, if you're the one who is distracted, then you're more likely to be found liable. Not only will that lead to higher insurance premiums, but you could end up being responsible for injuring another driver (or worse.)

If you're the victim of a distracted driving accident, then you need to make sure you seek medical attention as soon as possible. You also need to have a team to help you recover from other losses that occurred.

By contacting us today, we can make sure we recover all the documentation around your accident and show how the other party should be held responsible for their actions and their distractions. The sooner we know about the accident, the sooner we can help you get back on your feet. ... See more
