Plenty of people live and work throughout Southwest Florida and Florida’s Suncoast. But while Florida is a great state to live in, it’s also nationally and globally renowned as a place to visit. Tourism is one of the biggest industries in Florida and seasonal homes for out-of-state residents who come here to enjoy the winters. As a result, Florida has a lot of people and traffic that aren’t local. This can be confusing to some, especially when it comes to legal disputes. However, there are clear-cut protocols in place so that even people who don’t live in Florida still have…

As a motorcycle rider, you have to take extra precautions when it comes to navigating traffic, and other drivers should take extra precautions to protect you. Any motorcycle enthusiast knows this isn’t always the case. Oftentimes, motorcyclists have to crash their own bikes to avoid colliding with a vehicle. A crash that occurs when a motorcyclist hits another object, or simply crashes, because another vehicle got in their way is called a no-contact motorcycle accident. They often occur when another driver is negligent or ignorant to the fact that they endangered a motorcyclist by either pulling out in front of…
Guardians usually go above and beyond to keep children safe and healthy. For example, they buy them snacks and foods that are wholesome, research toys before purchasing them to ensure they won’t cause harm, and look at vehicle reviews ahead of buying new rides to make sure they’re harmless.

Florida has plenty of amusement parks full of rides. Most of the time, visitors ride them, have fun, and that’s it. Then, they head home after long days with some impressive memories. However, not all amusement park trips are joyous occasions. Sometimes, accidents occur, and no, we aren’t talking about a child dropping their ice cream cone on the ground. 

Rather, the types of incidents we are discussing are roller coaster derailments, raft ride malfunctions, and things of that nature. Speaking of raft rides, have you heard about the Raging River ride at Adventureland Park in Iowa? We get it,…
The issue of paying for your healthcare costs after an accident can be somewhat confusing. If another driver is at-fault for your accident, injuries, and property damage, they or their car insurance company have the responsibility to pay for your medical bills and other damages. However, reaching a settlement and recovering compensation from the at-fault party in your accident can potentially take months or even years. In the meantime, you will be responsible for your medical bills. In many cases, if you have private health insurance, your health insurance covers car accidents.

Few turns in aviation are as dangerous as the “base-to-final” turn.  That’s the last turn the pilot executes to line up with the runway.
