Fourth of July festivities are just around the corner, and we at Flaxman Law Group want to wish everyone a terrific long weekend. Before we start celebrating, however, fire stations, police and emergency departments are all preparing for a busy weekend. Each Fourth of July weekend, people are seriously injured.
Summer is an excellent time for grilling outdoors, but there are dangers with any cookout. Whether you are preparing meals outside for your family, planning a Fourth of July or other holidays, you may be at risk. Each year at cookouts, people suffer burn injuries, food-borne illness, falls, and other injuries.
Your home is likely one of your biggest assets, but it is vulnerable to many kinds of damage, from pests to natural disaster and more. You likely pay premiums on homeowners insurance so that you’re covered in case anything goes wrong, but after serious damage you may have questions about your insurance policy, may wonder if there are other ways to get damaged covered, or may run into problems dealing with your insurance provider. These are just a few reasons why Miami-Dade County homeowners contact Flaxman Law Group after serious property damage.
In Aventura, Coral Gables, and other South Florida communities, serious storms and winds routinely blow in, causing serious damage, especially if properties are not built and renovated to code.
Common damages to homes can include fallen trees, broken windows, damaged siding, collapsed roofs, and more. Trailers and smaller buildings can be completely demolished. In addition to the personal injury which can occur with some damage, the aftermath can put properties at risk of mold, looting, and other problems and repairs are often lengthy and expensive. In some cases, the interior and personal belongings in your home can also be damaged. While homeowners’ insurance is meant to help property owners with repairs, it’s not always easy to get the money you deserve—and there may be other options available to you.
Mold is a general word used to describe many types of fungi. If you’ve seen black, damp patches or pink spots on the walls, ceilings, tiles, or windowsills of your home, you may have mold. You may also have mold if you notice peeling wallpaper, musty odors, and dampness in your home.
Mold can be a serious problem. It can cause illness and medical complications, including breathing difficulties, and can especially affect the elderly, children, and those with compromised immune systems. Mold can also cause property damage and can be costly to fix.
Southern Florida has a strong rental market, with condos, single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments are available for rent. Mostly, tenants and landlords in Hollywood, Miami, and other communities work hard to have good working relationships. They may sign lease agreements to make sure everyone understands their obligations, for example.
Despite this, disputes between landlords and tenants can and do occur.
Many people know they may have a claim if they slip and fall in a Pembroke Pines store or are injured in a public space or a commercial property. However, many people assume they don’t have a claim if they are injured in their own home. This is not always the case, and you may want to investigate whether you have a claim, since the costs of an injury can be significant. Seeking financial recovery can help you defray some of these costs.

If you’re on vacation in the Parkland area, you may be looking forward to airboat rides, trips to the everglades, a trip to one of the nearby theme parks, delicious dinners, and everything else that makes a trip a memorable one.

Whether you have suffered a fall, broken bone, burns, head trauma, or any serious injury, your life may be affected for weeks or months. In some cases, your life may never be the same.

However, it is not always obvious whether your injury might qualify for a legal claim.
