Construction Accidents
Construction sites can be complicated messy places likewise construction accidents can be equally complicated there are many companies that may be involved in causing your injuries from a roofing contractor to a plumbing contractor air conditioning etc you need an attorney who can sift through this mess take depositions investigate and find out who is responsible.
I represent a young man who was working on a construction site installing an air-conditioning unit on the roof of the building as he was walking over to the area he fell through a large hole and fell feet to the concrete floor below he fractured both his legs and fractured his pelvis and could never work again we proved that the roofing company did not cover the whole securely with wood or a plank and we proved that they were aware that the hole was there because we took sworn statements of witnesses indicating that they told the roofing company that the whole should be covered up but the roofing company ignored those warnings as a result my client was devastatingly injured could never work construction again we were able to collect damages for him for the rest of his life for medical bills physical therapy and lost wages.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a construction accident I can help I have over thirty two years experience handling these types of cases give me a call you.
Defective Products
We expect the products we pay for to be safe, but each year residents of Hollywood, Miami, and other Florida and U.S. cities are seriously injured or even killed by dangerous toys, electronics, medicine, medical devices, food, home products, and other consumer goods that make their way to store shelves or online shops. The legal team at Flaxman Law Group hears from injured consumers every month, and these individuals are often seeking a defective products attorney because of the significant bills they face due to their injuries.
Faulty products can be dangerously designed or manufactured, so that an entire product line or type of specific product can be dangerous. Dangerous products can also be contaminated during the manufacturing process or can be temporarily produced in a faulty way, so only one batch or a portion of the product made is dangerous. In other situations, the instructions or labelling of the product may be faulty, so customers may not have the information they need to stay safe when using the product.
In all these situations, a customer can be seriously injured when correctly using the product. If that's the case, they may have a legal claim.
Understanding Defective Products Injury Claims
In South Florida, defective products claims are a type of personal injury or products liability claim. These claims hold manufacturers and in some cases retailers or other parties liable for the injuries unsafe products cause.
If you've been injured by an unsafe product, you may be eligible for a legal claim if your injuries were caused by negligence. For example, if a manufacturer failed to test a medication correctly and you suffered serious adverse effects that required medical treatment and time away from work, you may have a claim. In this situation, you may be able to seek compensation for lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, medical costs, and any other current and future expected costs related to your injury.
Why You Need an Experienced Products Liability Attorney
If you've been injured by an unsafe product, you may want to contact an experienced defective product claims attorney. My name is Charles Flaxman, and I am the founding partner of Flaxman Law Group. Having worked with clients on thousands of claims, I know how important legal counsel is if you have been injured by an unsafe product. Manufacturers and other liable parties are not just going to pay you the compensation you deserve without a legal claim.
And believe me: these drug companies, these department stores, and these supermarkets are going to fight to the death because they don't want their product to be known as defective. They'll spend millions of dollars to prevent you from collecting the damages that you deserve.
I represented a gentleman who was in a parking lot minding his own business when nearby a weed eater with a solid blade was being tested. The solid blade fell off the machine, flew through the air like a frisbee, and cut my client's leg off at the knee. We were able to prove that the nut that secured the blade to the weed eater was put on backwards and as the blade turned, the nut loosened instead of tightened. We proved our case and were able to get damages for my client. We were able to collect for all his medical bills, all of his lost wages, and money for the loss of enjoyment of his life because he could no longer enjoy or play tennis or run after his little girl.
You may think you have no hope going up against these big companies that produce these products. After all, they have all the money, they have all the lawyers, and they have all the time. But you can win. I have won cases against the biggest, most powerful companies in the country.
If you've been injured by an unsafe product and are wondering what to do, my team and I have made it easy to get information. Just call Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626 or email me directly at cflaxman@flaxmanlaw.com. We can schedule a free, no obligation case consultation so you can find out whether you have a claim and what your next steps might look like.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice cases are very complicated and it's not always immediately clear whether a doctor or a hospital did something wrong.
It's very important to hire an attorney who in turn will hire experts to review medical records look at the nurses notes and figure out if this was something that could have been prevented doctors hospitals and the insurance companies that represent them are committed to not paying these claims the doctors never want to admit fault and many other doctors in the community don't want to testify against their own well we hire experts that are willing to testify that are willing to call the doctor out of the hospital out on something that should have been done or that was done that was done improperly.
if you or a loved one have been the victim of medical malpractice call me I have years experience as a trial lawyer and we can help you.
Motorcycle Accidents
You've been in a motorcycle accident your bikes destroyed you have broken bones you're laid up in the hospital you worried about losing your job now you have to contact an attorney to help you with these things and you've never hired a lawyer before you say to yourself what am I going to do well the best thing to do is to call Flaxman Law Group and speak to me personally.
I can put you at ease I can make sure everything is done for you so that you can focus on getting better my job as a lawyer is to protect you from the insurance company and to make sure that everything that needs to be accomplished is accomplished and involve you as little as possible in the legal matters so that you can get back to work get back to your family and get back to a normal life you.
Negligent Security
Unfortunately, many people who have a claim never contact a Florida negligent security attorney and never get the compensation they deserve. At Flaxman Law Group, my legal team sees it often: people who have been injured don’t always know their rights and think they can call the police but nothing more than that.
If you or someone you love has been injured due to a rape a robbery a burglary and assault or a battery you may think that these things are just crimes and nothing can be done, other than seeing that the criminal goes to jail. But there may be more that you can do. This could be a case of inadequate security.
If you have been injured in any way, I invite you call me and my team at Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626. We staff our phone lines 24/7 so you can always reach a live person. We can set up a free, no obligation consultation with an attorney. With no risk, you can get answers and find out more about how you can seek compensation for your injuries. You can also contact us online at any time.
What Is Inadequate Security?
An inadequate security claim may be possible when a property owner fails to provide protection for the patrons and guests. A property owner, for example, could be hiring a security guard or off-duty policeman, setting up surveillance cameras, or posting signs saying the place is under surveillance. There are many things that a property owner should do, particularly if the area is in a high crime area where there have been other crimes before.
Why File a Claim?
You can call the police when you are targeted in a crime. However, it can be worthwhile to explore all your options by speaking with an inadequate security attorney in Hollywood or your South Florida community. The reality is that your injuries may end up costing you more than you think. You may need surgery or medical care. You may want to seek therapy to deal with the trauma or you may be unable to work while you heal. All of this costs money. Without compensation, you may end up paying these costs out of pocket. By filing a claim, though, you can seek justice and also the compensation you need to rebuild your life after an attack.
Why Contact a Hollywood Inadequate Security Attorney?
Inadequate security claims are complex, and you can be sure the insurance company and property owner will do everything they can to avoid paying. An attorney knows the law and the tactics insurance companies use. An experienced attorney also knows how to prove the extent of your injuries and how to pursue compensation for you.
Here’s an example from my case files: I represented a policeman who was visiting from New Jersey on vacation with his mother. He was walking in a parking lot when an assailant came up, pulled a gun and asked for money. Being a police officer, my client immediately grabbed the assailant and pushed his arm down. Unfortunately, the gun went off and shot a large hole through my client’s foot. We were able to prove that there were numerous crimes at that apartment complex before this particular incident. We were able to collect money for his pain and suffering, his medical bills, and money for the rest of his life because he could no longer be an active-duty police officer due to the fact that his foot was so severely injured. We have extensive experience handling this area of the law.
I have years as a trial lawyer, and I'll be happy to help you if you think you've been the victim of inadequate security.
Have you been injured in an assault or an attack? Reach out to me at Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626 or contact us online. You can even email me directly at cflaxman@flaxmanlaw.com. My team and I would be happy to set up a free accident consultation to discuss your possible case.
Pedestrian Accidents
My Experience with Pedestrian Accident Claims
I've handled thousands of pedestrian accidents and my experience has taught me that the insurance companies almost always do not want to pay the claims. They argue that the pedestrian was in the wrong place or the pedestrian shouldn't have been where they were. I've been successful in proving that pedestrians had the right-of-way and have been able to recover damages for their injuries and their lost wages.
I represented a man that was crossing the street when he was struck by a speeding car. He wound up breaking both of his legs and being in the hospital for over two weeks. His life was devastated. His family lost their breadwinner and he was worried about paying the bills. He hired my firm and I was able to prove that the vehicle was at fault in the accident. Even though the insurance company fought and fought and fought and didn't want to pay, I was able to convince them that they had the legal obligation to pay and they did so.
What Else Do You Need to Know About Pedestrian Accidents in Florida?
Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere where pedestrian and car traffic share the road. These collisions happen in crosswalks, parking lots, and on roads. While they’re called accidents, pedestrian collisions are often preventable. They can be caused by distracted driving or by motorists not checking their blind spots.
One unfortunate thing about pedestrian traffic crashes is that it is often the pedestrian who is seriously injured and who is blamed. While the driver will walk away in most cases without any injury, pedestrians can suffer life-changing injuries, including head trauma. To make matters worse, drivers and their insurance companies will often try to blame the pedestrian.
Because of the high costs associated with pedestrian accidents and the likelihood of motorists trying to pass the blame, I always recommend that injured pedestrians consult with an attorney. You have nothing to lose by finding out how much your case may be worth and by getting an experienced lawyer’s opinion about the situation.
An attorney can make a difference in your case. Before you make any decision about what to do next in your situation, a lawyer can help you understand your options so you make choices from a position of strength.
If you've been injured in a pedestrian accident, call me. My team at Flaxman Law Group has more than 60 years of combined experience and we have a track record of securing court wins and settlements for injured plaintiffs. I may be able to help if you’ve been injured and the consultation is absolutely free. Your consultation also comes with no obligation, so it is risk-free. I'm available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can always reach someone by calling my law firm at 866-352-9626 or by contacting us online. If you wish to contact me directly, I invite you to email me at cflaxman@flaxmanlaw.com.
Remember: the insurance companies have attorneys and so should you.
Slip and Falls
Slip and fall accidents can happen in stores, restaurants, parking lots, and other public places when property owners do not take due care to keep their premises clean. These accidents can happen due to unaddressed leaks, spills, dangerously slippery floor surfaces, and for other reasons, and the results can be devastating. Each year, the team at Flaxman Law Group works with slip and fall injury survivors who turn to our legal team and slip and fall attorneys for fair compensation for their injuries.
Each year, people in Hollywood, Homestead, Miami, and across the country suffer broken bones, back injuries, traumatic brain injuries, other injuries, and even fatalities as a result of slip and fall accidents. In fact, over 8 million emergency room visits each year happen due to slip and fall injuries.
Do You Have a Slip and Fall Claim?
If you have fallen in any public place, you will want to alert the manager or property owner and you'll want to take photos of the surrounding area. If you are injured and your injuries were caused by someone's negligence – such as a property manager failing to clean a spill promptly – you may have a premises liability claim and may be able to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and other losses. Contact a personal injury attorney to find out whether you may have a claim.
Work With an Experienced Slip and Fall Injury Claims Attorney
My name is Charles Flaxman and I founded Flaxman Law Group to help people who have been injured by slip and fall accidents and other types of injuries. In the decades I have practiced law, I have seen up close how devastating and common slip and fall incidents really are.
Slip and fall accidents have become the butt of some humor in our society because people are embarrassed when they fall, and sometimes these cases have developed a reputation that's undeserved. Many people that have fallen, in my experience, have suffered some of the most devastating injuries -- and I've seen many of them in my years as a trial lawyer. So don't dismiss these claims.
I represented a woman that was injured in a supermarket when she was removing ice cream from the freezer case. Behind her was a cart that was used by the stock boy to unload groceries. He left it in the aisle even after he had finished using it. She wasn't aware of it and backed up to leave the store and fell down, fracturing her hip. The store argued she should have seen the cart; the lighting was good and she's responsible for her injuries, the store claimed. I argued that the stock boy should have removed the cart when it was empty. After all, people are looking at the shelves for products that stores want to sell. That's their job, and then they blame people when they're looking at the products that they want to buy. Ridiculous! We got my client the money she deserved.
If you've been injured in a slip-and-fall accident or a trip and fall accident, call me at 866-352-9626. I have years of experience as a trial lawyer and I can help you with your case. In a free, no obligation case consultation we can go over the details of your injury and we can review whether you may have a claim.

Truck Accidents
Truck accident attorneys see the devastating impacts of truck crashes all the time. Many people call the law offices of Flaxman Law Group, seeking to speak with a truck accident attorney. These people have often suffered serious injury and don't know where to turn to pay for medical bills.
In 2020 alone, across the country 107,000 truck accidents led to injuries and 4,842 of these collisions involved fatalities. In communities like Homestead, Hollywood, and other South Florida communities, people's lives are permanently changed by truck accidents.
Since trucks are many times the size of passenger cars, when they're involved in collisions they can cause devastating outcomes. Trucking crashes can lead to crushing injuries, fatalities, chain reaction accidents, rollovers, and more. When trucks are carrying hazardous cargo, they can cause chemical exposure, pollution, fires and explosions, and devastating that can affect an entire community.
While we call them trucking accidents, in many cases these crashes are preventable. While there are many state and federal rules to help drivers of heavy trucks, such as big rigs, tankers, and tractor trailers stay safe on the roads, in some cases truck carriers and drivers take big risks – and it's often other users of the road who end up paying a big price. If you have been injured by a truck driver's or company's negligence, you may have the right to seek compensation for your injuries. By pursuing a legal claim, if you qualify, you can seek compensation so you don't have to pay for medical bills, lost wages, car damages, and other costs out of pocket.
Have You Been Injured in a Trucking Accident in South Florida?
My name is Charles Flaxman and I founded Flaxman Law Group after seeing for myself the support and help injury victims need. Some of the most devastating injuries I have seen have been from commercial trucking accidents.
For example, I once represented a woman who was traveling by car when a trailer truck moved over into her lane and pushed into the median. The woman's car flipped over. The accident was not her fault; we found witnesses to prove that. The truck in fact did change lanes. We also found out that the truck driver hadn't slept the required number of hours, so we were able to prove her case and get her compensated properly.
There are many things to know in a truck accident: Did the truck driver sleep properly the night before? Did he or she drink alcohol the night before? Were his or her tires properly inflated? Was the truck properly maintained? There are many things that truck drivers must do and many times do not do, so it's important that you contact me so I can advise you of your rights. Members of my team are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week when you call 866-352-9626, so you can always reach a live person. Your first consultation with Flaxman Law Group is always free and you risk nothing because there is no obligation with this consultation to discuss the details of your situation.
Remember: the trucking companies have attorneys and you should, too. If you have been injured in a truck collision anywhere in South Florida, you can reach our law offices in Homestead, Miami, and Hollywood by calling 866-352-9626 or you can contact us online.
