This is the busiest time of year for retailers, and that hectic pace can mean more spills on store floors, which can lead to serious slip and fall injuries. While some people are fortunate enough to just have their egos bruised when they fall, slip and fall injuries can lead to serious and even fatal injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord trauma, broken hips, and other serious injuries.
If you’ve suffered an injury in a store that leads to high medical bills or lost wages because you need to stay home from work, contact Flaxman Law Group as soon as you can to set up a free accident consultation with a Hollywood slip and fall attorney. Our family-based law firm has more than 60 years of combined experience and we’re happy to explain whether you might have a claim.
The holidays are a time of wonder for children of all ages, but unfortunately this time of year also creates some new hazards for kids. The father-son attorney team at Flaxman Law Group has worked with many families who have been facing a child’s injury and we’ve put together this guide to help you reduce the risk of child injuries in your home and during your holidays.
At this time of year, many workplaces have holiday parties for their employees. While meant to be a fun way to bond and relax, these festivities can and do lead to injuries, even if your event doesn’t descend into a wild party.
If you’ve been injured at a holiday party instead of in the course of work duties, it may be more challenging to get workers’ compensation, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have options for getting fair financial compensation. To find out more, contact Flaxman Law Group after your injury for a free accident consultation with a member of our family-based legal team. We’ll talk about the specifics of your situation and help you understand whether you could have a claim.
Noone goes to a grocery store or restaurant expecting a life-changing illness, but each year 128,000 Americans need hospital care and another 3,000 die from a foodborne illness.
In too many cases, people who have been injured by unsafe food in Hollywood and across Florida don’t even know they may have a right to seek compensation. They often mistakenly believe that they need to pay for the many costs of their illness—including time lost at work and high medical bills—themselves.
This isn’t always the case.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2020, the latest year for which data is available, 37,060 American workers in private industry were injured and another 392 died due to workplace violence.
Noone thinks they’re unsafe at work, but in reality disgruntled coworkers, colleagues, and even strangers entering your workplace can all pose a threat. If you’ve been injured, you should be focusing on your health and not on the ins and outs of your Hollywood workers’ compensation claim. That’s why we recommend you contact us at Flaxman Law Group for a consultation with a Hollywood workers’ compensation attorney. Let us take on some of the burden of the legal claim so you can focus on yourself.
You’ve likely seen utility trucks around your Florida neighborhood. These vehicles deliver essential services, including fuel, communications services, and waste management services to your community. However, these trucks also cause serious accidents.
If you find yourself injured in a truck accident involving a utility truck, you should know that your claim is different than what you might expect from a car accident or other truck accident case (more on that below). Many drivers simply aren’t prepared for the complexity of a utility truck crash claim, which is why we invite you to contact Flaxman Law Group if you’re injured. Our father-son attorney team can explain the laws that could affect your claim and can discuss any potential ways to maximize financial recovery in your situation.
It’s an unimaginable nightmare: a loved one goes to work as usual and never comes home. No one expects this to happen, yet a worker is killed by work-related injury every 101 minutes, on average, in this country.
Nothing can take away the grief and pain of losing a loved one, but talking to a Hollywood workers’ compensation attorney is important to make sure you can take care of yourself and your household. You can always contact the compassionate, family-based team at Flaxman Law Group for a consultation to learn more about your specific situation.
The workers’ compensation attorneys at Flaxman Law Group often hear from injured workers who have questions about what is and isn’t covered by workers’ compensation in Florida. In general, if your illness or injury happened because of your work or in the course of your work duties, you should be covered. There are exceptions, of course, which we cover below.
If you’re wondering whether or not your injury or illness is covered, one simple way to find out is to schedule a consultation with a workers’ compensation lawyer at Flaxman Law Group. We can talk about your specific situation so you get the facts you need.
Most workers in Florida are covered by workers’ compensation, a type of no-fault insurance most employers are required to pay. In case of a workplace illness, accident, or injury, this insurance pays important benefits that can help a worker get back on their feet.
While the process of applying for workers’ compensation is intended to be straightforward, the Hollywood workers’ compensation attorneys at Flaxman Law Group regularly hear from injured workers who are facing challenges. One of the most common situations we hear about is an employee with a legitimate claim who has been denied his or her rightful benefits. We’re here for you as well if your claim is denied. Contact us today for a consultation to discuss what you may be able to do to.
