Cars usually get the worst end of the bargain when involved in a crash with a truck. A loaded large truck takes up to 20-50% more road space to stop when compared to cars, and this percentage is even higher on wet or slippery roads. And if the brakes of the truck are poorly maintained, things get even worse. Available statistics show that trucks, 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers and similar large vehicles cause auto accidents resulting in a very large number of wrongful deaths and severe injury cases. While the bigger vehicle offers more protection to its driver, an automobile driver has a much bigger chance of being severely injured or even killed in such an accident. If you or a loved one has sustained injuries in a truck accident, you might be eligible to recover your damages. An experienced truck accident attorney will sort out the exact nature of the crash, and who the responsible parties are. With over three decades of experience, the Truck Accidents Lawyers at the Fenstersheib Law Group, P.A. have successfully helped many people get the compensation they deserved.

Your teenager just got a brand new driver’s license, and there’s a lot of trepidation mixed in with your pride. It’s normal to be worried, but please know that there are things you can and should do to increase the chances that your teen will be safe on the South Florida roads. The first thing you can do is to lead by example. Drive the way you want your teen to drive – if you speed, tailgate, and drive aggressively, your teen probably will follow your lead when he or she gets behind the wheel. Make sure your teen realizes that driving demands full attention and fully understands the dangers associated with it – for the person behind the wheel, for the passengers, and for the other drivers and pedestrians with whom the road is shared. Establish a firm, clear set of rules – stressing that any unsafe behavior or failure to obey the rules means that the keys will be taken away. These rules must include that the driver and all passengers wear seat belts every time they get in the car, that texting…Read More

Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product malfunctions cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is the federal government agency charged with protecting consumers and families from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of any of the thousands of types of consumer products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard – including baby products such as toys and cribs, furniture, power tools, cigarette lighters, and common household chemicals. The CPSC’s work has contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years. Clicking on the “Recalls” link on the CPSC.gov website allows consumers not only to learn recent product recalls, but also to submit their own complaints. Any manufacturer identified is given the opportunity to comment on the complaints, and completed reports about potentially dangerous consumer products, along with the manufacturers’ responses, are published on the CPSC website so consumers can become aware of the potential hazards related to use of the products. If you or a loved one has suffered…Read More
When accidents happen as a result of someone’s negligent behavior, legal assistance may be required to obtain proper and adequate redress. While there are thousands of personal injury attorneys in South Florida, not all of them have the adequate staff and long-term experience to deal with personal injury issues, so it is extremely important to choose the right firm to successfully handle your case. The average personal injury case can cost thousands of dollars in research and litigation, and smaller legal firms may not have the resources necessary to successfully deal with such expenses. Choosing a lawyer with limited resources may result in settling your case too early and not getting the fair compensation you deserve. Larger legal firms can bring more resources to bear regarding experienced personnel and support staff, and this increases the likelihood of a successful verdict in your favor. The most respected personal injury attorneys and firms offer both free consultation services and a contingency arrangement – simply stated, if your chosen attorneys don’t win the case or successfully force a settlement, they don’t get paid. The experienced and dedicated Accident…Read More
When someone has suffered personal injuries as a result of the negligence of others, the amount of compensation awarded is largely determined by the nature and extent of the injuries suffered. While the majority of accidents yield only minor bumps and bruises, severe accidents can result in catastrophic consequences for the victims and their loved ones. Regardless of the actual extent of the injuries, the amount of pain or physical discomfort that the injured party experiences is the most compelling factor in determining the amount of damages to be awarded. It’s important to note that similar types of injuries do not affect everyone in the same manner, and while a particular injury can result in minor surgery and prompt recovery in one individual, the same sort of injury can cause permanent disabilities in another. When severe injuries are incurred, the medical costs will be exponentially higher, and higher amounts of lost income will result due to more extensive time missed from work. Therefore, larger economic damages are likely to be awarded for severe injuries. Severe injuries are typically defined by various criteria, including the specific…Read More
Motorcycles can be a lot of fun. Not only do they offer a freeing and exhilarating experience on the South Florida roads, they are also much easier to maintain than the larger cars or trucks, and also provide great gas mileage. However, since motorcycles do not have many of the safety features inherent to cars and trucks – such as seat belts and air bags – accidents are much more dangerous and can result in far more serious, long-lasting consequences for motorcycle riders. Around 90,000 motorcyclists get injured yearly in the United States, and motorcycle drivers are 35 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than car drivers. If you enjoy riding your motorcycle, make sure to reduce the risk of serious injuries by avoiding high-risk behavior, obeying all traffic laws, and always wearing all necessary protective gear, including a helmet, a good pair of gloves, high-quality jacket and boots, and a sturdy neck collar. But no matter how careful you are, or how safe your gear, motorcycle accidents can happen, many times due to the negligence of car and truck drivers.…Read More
People who have suffered a serious personal injury may continue experiencing psychological after-effects well after they have completed successful medical rehabilitation. While it may be normal to experience feelings such as general confusion, irritability, anxiety, sadness, helplessness and even insomnia after an injury has physically healed, it is just as important to understand that if the stress remains constant, continuing to affect your work and social life, psychological counseling may be needed to regain your normal lifestyle. If you or a loved one have been injured in South Florida due to the negligence of others, you may be entitled to compensation not only for the physical damages suffered, but also for the pain and suffering associated with those damages. The skilled and experienced attorneys at the Fenstersheib Law Group, P.A. have been helping personal injury victims in South Florida for more than three decades. Let us put that experience to work for you. Call us today, toll-free, at 1-800-TellRobert, for a free initial consultation to determine your legal rights.

By and large, highway construction and maintenance work in our roads is typically carried out by independent contractors, hired by the State. These contractors have an obligation to ensure public safety, but in some cases some of the applicable State safety laws – such as ensuring the correct placement of necessary road signs and the proper disposal of scattered debris resulting from the work process – are not necessarily followed to the letter of the law, which can lead to the creation of potential road hazards that may result in accidents and injuries to drivers, passersby and the construction workers themselves. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident resulting from road construction or maintenance work in South Florida, you may be entitled to monetary damages. The attorneys at the Fenstersheib Law Group, P.A. have many years of experience representing clients who have been injured in such cases. We know the safety laws and can easily identify and examine any regulatory violations that have been committed, and we will evaluate your options free of charge and advise you of the necessary…Read More
