Beware Of Drinking And Driving During The Holiday Season!

According to published statistics, someone in the United States is hurt every two minutes – and someone dies every half hour – as a result of an alcohol-related accident. With plenty of parties taking place during this Holiday Season, the odds for accidents resulting from drinking and driving increase exponentially. One of the most common excuses we all hear is that anyone can handle a couple of drinks without problems, but this is simply not true. A research study conducted by the University of California San Diego revealed that people driving even with blood alcohol levels as small as 0.01% in their system face a higher risk of being involved in accidents that cause injuries much more severe than in those accidents where alcohol is not a factor, leading the researchers to conclude that there is no level of alcohol that can be considered safe for driving. Do yourself, your loved ones and everyone else around you a major favor this Holiday Season – if you drink, don’t get behind the wheel. It’s really that simple. And that concept, by the way, is important not…Read More

Texting While Walking Is Just As Dangerous As Texting While Driving!

We’ve done our best to constantly remind you of the dangers of texting while driving. According to a University of Buffalo study, however, the number of injuries suffered by people texting while walking was much higher than for those texting while driving. The study reported three types of distractions that take place when a person is texting while walking – manual, visual and cognitive – leading to injuries caused by walking into moving traffic, slip and falls, and bumping into walls and other objects, among many reported types of mishaps.

Slip and fall accidents, believed to be the second-leading cause of injuries in the United States, impact the U.S. economy heavily, with millions of dollars spent in hospitalization and medical expenses, and time missed from the workplace. The laws covering slip and fall accidents are complex, requiring many issues to be analyzed before fault can be assigned and negligence (and liability) can be determined. While the majority of these accidents result from improper property design or poor property maintenance, other factors – such as ongoing construction or adverse weather conditions – may come into play. Under the law, property owners are required to take reasonable care in the maintenance of their premises, so that they can avoid the risk of exposing others to the harm of a slip and fall accident – but this isn’t always the case. For instance, if you were not advised with appropriate signs of possible hazards, the establishment where you suffered your slip and fall may be held liable for your injuries. However, it is not merely enough for the property owner to post warning signs; such signs must be…Read More

Effects Of Serious Injuries Can Last Long After The Injury Has Healed?

What Does “Wrongful Death” Mean?

When someone has died not as a result of natural causes, but due to another person’s or entity’s gross negligence or misconduct, the individual’s passing is legally considered a “wrongful death.” Numerous and different circumstances may be involved to encompass such negligence or misconduct, including medical malpractice or bad drugs; automobile, motorcycle or boating accidents; workplace accidents; product malfunction; unsafe conditions; or even outright malice. While no amount of reparations can replace the death of a loved one, you should always demand justice, holding the responsible party or parties accountable for their actions, and obtaining proper compensation for the financial and emotional loss suffered by you and your family – including medical costs, loss of future earnings, and non-monetary damages such as loss of companionship and emotional anguish. If you have lost a loved one due to wrongful death in South Florida, you should seek the help of an experienced law firm. The Wrongful Death attorneys at Fenstersheib Law Group, P.A., are ready to assist you in this difficult time of your life, with the full knowledge and expertise acquired over more than three decades of legal…Read More

Have You Been Involved In An Accident Related To Highway Construction In Florida?

Lately, it seems as though almost every road we travel in South Florida is undergoing some type of construction work. While improving our roadways is both good and necessary, and road maintenance and construction are vital components to the ongoing growth of our State, these activities can also lead to the creation of road hazards, which may result in accidents and injuries to drivers, passersby and the construction workers themselves. You should be aware that, in the majority of cases, independent contractors are hired by State authorities to perform the construction and maintenance work on our highways. While construction companies and contractors have an obligation to ensure public safety, they might not be totally familiar with all State safety laws regarding highway construction projects, such as the proper placement of the necessary road signs, unmarked road hazards, and scattered debris resulting from the construction process. Fortunately, these contractors are required to have liability insurance to protect the public in the event of an accident. If you have been involved in an accident related to highway construction work in South Florida, you may be entitled to monetary damages.…Read More

Is A Head Injury Always Immediately Apparent After A Car Crash?

When head injuries are suspected after a car crash, immediate medical treatment is of utmost importance. Although signs of head trauma can be readily apparent immediately after a car accident, mild head injuries may not result in any major symptoms and may even be confused with symptoms of other types of medical conditions. But symptoms may indeed show up well after the fact that could indeed be a delayed result of the accident. These may include blurred vision, confusion and disorientation, loss of memory and lack of concentration, headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. If you or a loved one have been involved in an automobile accident, and the extent of the injuries was not fully apparent at the time of the accident, please be aware that you still have legal recourses available, and the skilled and experienced attorneys at the Fenstersheib Law Group, P.A. have been helping automobile accident victims for more than three decades.

How Safe Are You On An Airplane?

The answer is: Flying is an extremely safe proposition. While your odds of being involved in a fatal aviation accident are along the lines of 1 in 10 million, your odds of being involved in a road accident, by way of comparison, are only 1 in 100. And flying with the top airlines almost literally doubles your odds for a safe flight. However, aviation accidents do happen, with much more extreme results than road accidents. Aviation accidents are most commonly linked to three primary sources: Pilot error, aircraft mechanical errors, and inclement weather – including lightning strikes, heavy winds, hazardous storms, and fog. Other potential causes of aviation accidents exist, such as air traffic control mistakes, cabin or cargo hold fires, bird strikes, and even sabotage. If you or a loved one has been injured in an aviation accident, you might be entitled to legal compensation for your pain and suffering. The Professional Aviation Accident Attorneys at the Fenstersheib Law Group, P.A. have the necessary experience and expertise regarding all the relevant aviation laws in Florida, which is absolutely vital for the success of any…Read More

Has A Skilled Nursing Facility Provided Inadequate Care?

According to a study conducted by Medicare’s Inspector General, the rate of medical errors resulting in injuries and death in skilled nursing facilities was much higher than that reported for hospitals. Skilled nursing facilities, which include certified nursing homes, typically provide follow-up treatment for patients after they have been discharged from acute care at a hospital, but medical errors at these establishments are not as widely reported as those that take place at hospitals. Errors that occurred during patient treatment at these facilities – including everything from dispensation of the wrong medications to infections – resulted in damages both temporary and permanent, and more than half of the patients who were harmed had to be hospitalized at additional expense. The study also revealed that a majority of these errors were actually preventable. If you or a loved one has been victimized by nursing home errors, please be aware that you have legal recourses available. At the Fenstersheib Law Group, P.A., we are your advocates; we feel your pain and, along with our legal expertise, offer understanding and compassion. We have been helping victims in South…Read More
