We don't know about you, but if we were in a car with a driver who was four times more likely than the average to get into a car crash, we wouldn't be riding with them.

To make self-driving cars worthwhile, they need to be better than human drivers, otherwise what is the point?

What's happened in the Swiss ski town on New Years' Eve/day is a tragedy and it's looking like the cause is similar to a fire that occurred in the United States over 20 years ago involving the band Great White and a massive amount of loss of life.

While safety codes vary from state to state and country to country, it's a safe bet that the fire here, if caused by acoustic foam catching fire from sparklers on revelers' champagne bottles, probably occurred because someone didn't follow sensible safety protocols.

We hope you're not, but if you are hurt, reach out to us at www.fllegalgroup.com.

We all make mistakes. Sometimes, those mistakes mean that we cause a car crash, but that's why we buy insurance. Details on Bucs player Jordan Whitehead's crash show that both he was injured and he was cited for the crash, and another occupant of another vehicle was hurt as well. After a crash is not the time to find out, especially if you're a professional athlete being paid multiple millions, whether you've got sufficient insurance to protect your assets.
If you've had changes to your life, be it from getting new jobs/raises to new investments, check your insurance policies to make sure that the first mistake you make is not having enough insurance and the second one is getting into a crash.

The details surrounding Bucs safety Jordan Whitehead’s car accident and the injury he sustained have been hard to come by since Saturday’s wreck, which caused to be placed on the team’s Non-Football Injury List.

There are cars that claim to be self driving. What do you think?

How's that computer-vision-only approach working out for you, Tesla?

We hope everyone is doing as well as possible after Milton made his presence known in so many parts of Florida. Because of the widespread areas where damage has occurred, we are closed today for the safety of our staff and the governmental requests to stay home if possible.

There are many of you with questions about the process with claims for the loss and damage to your homes or vehicles. We will certainly be available in the coming days and weeks.

For all of our friends in the area after the last week, this development is not what we wanted to see. As of right now, this is not projected to be a storm the same way as Helene, but we also know a lot can change in a few days.

For those of us who were lucky with Helene and didn't suffer much in the way of damage, riding around the area the past few days has probably demonstrated that you need to be prepared ahead of time for what's coming. For everyone, get your insurance policies together. Document the state of your property/cars etc now so you have "before" pictures in case you need them. Not many people will have new insurance policies from last week to this week, but being able to show what changes have taken place is important.

We're here to help if you've got an insurance dispute or question.

Consumer dispute? Don't be surprised if a big corporation claims you agreed to waive your rights to a trial. The question of whether the agreement is valid or not is another matter altogether.

You know, because that worked out so well for Disney when they tried it.

So many of us are cleaning up from Helene. It’s unfortunate to see that people who were damaged by Ian (2 YEARS AGO) are still fighting to get claims paid.

Adjusters in Florida say insurance companies altered Hurricane Ian damage reports to underpay homeowners. Whistleblowers detail what they found.

Lots of people out in our area today are cleaning up from Helene. Know that your insurance companies, for all their claims of being a good neighbor, goofy Flo, or a rock solid piece of security on your side are looking for ways to devalue or get rid of any claim you need to make.

And that's not even talking about flood insurance, which is a federally mandated program that insurance companies run.

The key is reporting and documentation...don't give your insurer any wiggle room to deny or delay processing your claim. Call it in, even if you've got to stay on hold for a long time. DOCUMENT- take pictures/videos of EVERYTHING damaged- water in your home, lines where the water stopped, everything.

Our staff is working remotely today to stay safe from hurricane Helene, but while we can work, we are open for your legal needs!

Here's a bit of free legal advice: if you're accused of a crime, don't show up to court doing the crime. For instance, don't show up on a drug charge doing drugs. Don't come to court visibly impaired on alcohol or drugs while facing a charge for disorderly conduct. And, as this gentleman learned, don't appear for court by zoom (and yes, you are appearing in court on a video call) for a charge of driving on a suspended license while allegedly driving on a suspended license.

A Michigan man with a suspended driver's license joined a digital court hearing about his case from behind the wheel of a vehicle he was driving.

Insurance in Florida is higher than ever. But what if someone crashes into your car and it gets totaled? Well, you can get their insurance to pay, if they have any. But Florida only requires $10,000 of property damage coverage. What if your car is worth $12,500? What if you owe $15,000 on your car? Doesn't matter, the carrier only has to pay what the fair market value of your car is up to the policy limits, meaning it could pay $10,000 and leave you holding the bag for the rest.

High repair costs, high depreciation, and expensive tech are conspiring to write off cars
