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. What about when those things don’t pan out, though? 

For instance, a person could get a car that’s supposed to be a top-of-the-line model, only to discover that it has one or more issues. Speaking of problems, that’s why we are here today, to tell you about a problem with a…

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,…

Getting into a car wreck can be emotionally, physically, and financially devastating. Your car may be wrecked beyond repair, you may have serious injuries that need expensive medical care, and your whole life is upended. Fortunately, under Florida state law, accident injury victims are protected. When another driver causes your accident, they and their insurance company are responsible for paying for your injuries. However, sometimes the other driver neither has insurance nor has a good enough policy to cover the full costs of the damages from the accident. This is where underinsured (UM) and uninsured (UIM) coverages can help? What…

For most people living in Florida’s Suncoast, slipping and falling is an embarrassment with a little bit of physical discomfort. However, for some, a slip and a fall can be extremely painful and, in the worst cases, permanently crippling or even lethal. It’s one thing, for example, to slip and fall in the kitchen due to a misplaced toy. It’s another for that same toy to be on a stairway as an elderly relative is coming down. Slipping and falling can happen just about anywhere, but these are the most common causes for why it happens. Uneven Surfaces This is…

For some in Southwest Florida, especially men who’ve never experienced it personally, sexual harassment is viewed as an extreme, even criminal act. In other words, sexual harassment only “counts” in their eyes if a woman is forcibly cornered, fights and screams, and is raped. To some, anything less than that is not sexual harassment and is considered legal. However, the reality is sexual harassment does not start at a sexual assault attempt; that is the most dramatic end of the spectrum. That is why this type of harassment has gone underreported for decades. 81% of working women reporting verbal sexual…
