Farm Equipment and Florida Car Accidents
Farm equipment shares our roads, especially during harvest time. Florida laws allow operators of farm equipment to use public roads, but this can lead to accidents.

The Six Things You Need to Know If You’re in a South Florida Car Accident (Part Two)
Last week, we started this short series by telling you three of six important things you must know if you’re in a traffic accident. This week, we tackle the remaining three things you need to know:
ATV Injuries in Key Largo
All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are a popular option in Key Largo and surrounding areas, with many trails in the region for exploring and even rental services that allow you to rent an ATV for an afternoon or weekend.

ATVs are designed with a high center of gravity, which can make them to vulnerable to rollovers, especially on uneven ground. Injuries resulting from ATV crashes can result in serious injuries, and if you find yourself injured after this type of accident, you may wish to contact Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626 to schedule a free, no obligation case consultation to find out whether you may have a claim.

Driving Safely Through Roundabouts
Roundabouts are designed to reduce traffic congestion and make our roads safer. Florida has adopted them widely, so there are about 300 roundabouts on Florida roads and 20 on highways across the state. Unlike intersections, roundabouts don’t use road signs and full stops. Instead, drivers yield right of way, improving the flow of traffic.
While studies have shown that roundabouts reduce the risk of accidents, motorists are sometimes intimidated by them and aren’t sure how to drive safely through a roundabout. We’ve created this guide to help you.
Driving Safely Around School Buses
School buses take children safely to and from school, but these large vehicles are often slower-moving and make frequent stops, which means other users of the road have to use additional caution around these vehicles.
Safety Belts Save Lives in Accidents
In Hollywood, Miami, and across Broward County and Miami-Dade County, seatbelts save lives every day. In car collisions, seat belts keep passengers from crashing through windows and windshields, reducing the risk of serious injury.
