Unfortunately, South Florida has the right conditions for mold to flourish. It is warm most of the year and coastal areas, especially, tend to be humid. Major storms and flooding also affect the area, and these disasters can easily lead to mold.

How Bed Bugs Lead to Florida Injury Claims

Published on: September 28, 2022 | By Flaxman Law Group

Bed bugs are small, brown insects that feed on human blood. They often hide in bedding, clothing, and other soft surfaces, coming out at night to feed. They can cause painful bites and emotional distress. In some cases, bites can cause allergic reactions. Bed bugs also move with humans, so if someone is affected by bed bugs in a hotel, bed bugs may follow them home. Bed bugs breed quickly and a serious infestation can happen fast.

Dorm and College Safety

Published on: August 26, 2022 | By Flaxman Law Group

College is a time for growth and freedom, and students are often excited about being on their own. Unfortunately, each year college students are seriously injured and even killed on campus. Sports injuries, slip and fall injuries, and traffic injuries tend to be most common. However, violence caused by hazing and assault also contributes to injuries on campus. In fact, 26.4% of women and 6.8% of men experience sexual violence as undergraduate students.

There are other forms of injury, too. Dorms are often older buildings and may have unsafe flooring, showers, stairways, and other building components. Head injuries, falls, fractures, burns, and other injuries can occur because of these problems. Even bedding provided by colleges has been called into question, after a study found that about 8,200 emergency room visits between 2006 and 2015 were linked to school bunk bed use.
