Florida recorded 46,651 commercial motor vehicle crashes and 315 fatalities in 2024, according to preliminary FLHSMV data. Truck accident claims can involve multiple potentially responsible parties, including the driver, motor carrier, cargo loaders, or vehicle manufacturers.

Federal regulations govern commercial trucking operations, including Hours of Service limits designed to address driver fatigue. Florida generally gives injured individuals two years to bring a negligence claim, making it important to preserve evidence early.

Under Florida's Wrongful Death Act, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate on behalf of eligible survivors, which may include a spouse, children, and parents. The statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of death.

In medical negligence cases, Florida law limits certain non-economic damages available to children age 25 or older and to parents of deceased adult children. These restrictions do not generally apply to wrongful death claims involving car crashes, falls, or other non-medical negligence. Efforts to repeal this exception in 2025 and 2026 did not become law.

Florida consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of motorcycle fatalities each year. Riders face unique risks from drivers who fail to see them, unsafe lane changes, road debris, and poor road conditions that are less hazardous to larger vehicles.

If you are involved in a motorcycle accident in Florida, documenting the scene, seeking immediate medical attention, and avoiding any recorded statements to the other party's insurer before speaking with an attorney are all important steps. Injuries from motorcycle crashes, including road rash, fractures, and head trauma, can have long-term consequences that are not always immediately visible.

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care that a reasonably competent provider would have met under similar circumstances, and that failure causes harm to the patient. It is the legal foundation of most medical malpractice claims.

Common examples include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, failure to obtain informed consent, and inadequate post-operative monitoring. Not every adverse medical outcome is negligence, but when a provider's failure to follow accepted standards leads to preventable harm, patients and families may have legal recourse.

Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly being used in clinical settings to transcribe physician notes, generate patient summaries, and populate medical records. When these tools work correctly, they can improve efficiency. When they introduce errors, those mistakes can follow a patient through their entire course of treatment.

An AI-generated note that misquotes a dosage, misattributes a symptom, or records the wrong patient's information can affect clinical decisions down the line. Patients and families have the right to request and review their medical records and to flag any discrepancies they find.

Traumatic brain injuries are one of the most serious and frequently underdiagnosed consequences of car accidents in Florida. Symptoms including headaches, confusion, memory problems, and mood changes may not appear immediately, and can be dismissed as minor discomfort in the hours after a crash.

A TBI diagnosis requires prompt medical evaluation and imaging. Delaying care not only affects recovery, but can also make it harder to connect the injury to the accident later. If you were in a crash and are experiencing neurological symptoms of any kind, seeking medical attention the same day is critical.

Choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility for a loved one is one of the most significant decisions a family can make.

Key questions to ask: How does the facility handle emergencies and evacuations? What is the staff-to-resident ratio on nights and weekends? How are medication changes communicated to families? Are there any recent state inspection findings or deficiency citations? What is the process for raising a concern or complaint?

Asking the right questions before placement can help identify whether a facility is meeting basic safety and care standards.

September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month. Spinal cord injuries are among the most life-altering consequences of serious accidents, including car crashes, truck accidents, falls, and diving incidents. In Florida, where high-speed roads and water activities are part of everyday life, these injuries are more common than many people realize.

When a spinal cord injury results from another party's negligence, whether a distracted driver, a dangerous road condition, or an unsafe property, those responsible may be held accountable under Florida law.
