Can a Bar Be Held Responsible After Serving the Driver Who Hit You?
When a drunk driver causes a serious crash, it is natural to wonder whether the bar or restaurant that served them any alcohol bears some responsibility.

What Happens to Your Claim When Your Uber or Lyft Driver Causes a Crash
Rideshare travel has become part of daily life across Florida.

Fort Lauderdale’s canals, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the open water beyond Port Everglades draw boaters year-round, and with that much traffic, collisions are inevitable.

A pedestrian accident after dark often produces an immediate argument from the driver or insurance company: the pedestrian was difficult to see. That explanation can sound persuasive until the scene is examined closely.

When Recreational Boats and Commercial Vessels Share San Juan Bay
San Juan Bay brings recreational boating into the same working harbor used by dramatically larger, far less maneuverable commercial vessels.

A cargo vessel, cruise ship, tug-assisted vessel, or other large commercial ship may need substantially more distance and time to slow,… Read More »
Port of San Juan Container Truck Accidents and Liability From Terminal to Highway
A container truck leaving the Port of San Juan may already be carrying the conditions that lead to a serious accident. The driver might lose control miles from the terminal, but the underlying problem may have begun when cargo was loaded into the container, when a chassis was released for use, or when the… Read More »
Flooded Roadway Car Accidents in San Juan: Who Is Responsible When Standing Water Contributes to a Crash?
Heavy rain can change driving conditions in San Juan within minutes. Water collects across a lane, visibility drops, and a vehicle that was moving normally can suddenly lose traction.
