Many people in Florida and Colorado keep horses, and whether they have a farm or take part in dressage or other events, that means there are times they need to take their horse on the road in a trailer.

E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular in South Florida, and after a number of serious accidents and even fatalities, cities like Key Biscayne even briefly banned e-bikes to try to figure out how to keep pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers safe.
If you’re an e-bike rider injured in a car accident or a driver injured in an accident caused by an e-bike, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free consultation with a Hollywood accident injury attorney. Since this is an area of the law where local laws and rules are still developing, you may want an experienced attorney to help you seek fair compensation for your injuries.
It’s not uncommon for car accidents in Hollywood to happen because a driver pressed the accelerator instead of the brake by accident. While this seems like an unlikely mistake—the pedals are in different positions—it does commonly happen and it causes serious injuries when it does.
If you’ve been injured because another driver negligently sped up instead of stopping at an intersection or anywhere else on the road, you may have a claim. Florida law may allow you to seek compensation to cover your lost wages, car repair bills, hospital and medical treatment costs, and more. However, you may not get the full amount you’re entitled to just by filing an insurance claim. To find out more, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation with a Hollywood car accident claims lawyer.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been in the news often in the past year, as ChatGPT and other large language model-based chatbots and generators have captured our collective imagination. In the auto world, AI and automation have already been part of the conversation, as car manufacturers have been working on self-driving vehicles.
The problem is that the adoption of fully automated cars hasn’t happened as quickly as many people thought. In fact, some experts are now claiming that self-driving technology can pose a risk, with a number of legal claims and lawsuits involving injuries and fatalities caused by the technology.
While human error accounts for many traffic accidents in Florida, mechanical defects are also a common—and often hidden—cause of crashes. From faulty brakes to malfunctioning airbags, these silent culprits can turn a routine drive into a serious collision.
