Hialeah Personal Injury Lawyer

Few people think about the amount of trust that’s placed in busing companies that bring loads of children to and from school every day.  The fact is that school buses face the same risks as any other vehicle, and when something goes wrong it can lead to devastation.  While a crash involving a school bus on the way to Hialeah High School today did not lead to any injuries to passengers on the bus, it did lead to the death of the driver of the vehicle who slammed into it.

While most of us understand that every time we get behind the wheel, we take risks, many would wrongfully assume that police officers are all but immune to traffic accidents with other vehicles.  Unfortunately, that is not the case, as those in police cruisers or on police motorcycles are just as vulnerable to mistakes - both their own and those of others - as anyone else.  One police officer was an unfortunate example of this reality in Hialeah this morning.

Pedestrians have just as much right to access to roadways as those in any other type of vehicle.  They must follow the same traffic laws as everyone else, but when something goes wrong those on foot are at a clear and obvious disadvantage when faced with a collision with a moving vehicle.  Sadly, a woman and two children were hit by a car on Tuesday afternoon as they crossed a road in Hialeah.

Generally, when an auto accident occurs, it’s a relatively simple analysis that leads to allegations of liability. There is usually one party at fault and one or more victims of negligence or recklessness. However, there are certain situations that give rise to little-known and potentially complicated legal questions, and those involve the intrusion of an unforeseeable, superseding event. Unfortunately, a shooting death or something equally morbid are generally the fact scenarios that give rise to these situations. (more…)

Driving in the early morning hours can be quite dangerous, even though traffic is generally light compared to rush hour. The danger is particularly acute when someone needs to pull off to the shoulder of the road, as one driver hauling a boat had to do at approximately 4 a.m. this morning. Tragically, another vehicle crashed into the car, the boat and two people parked on the shoulder and two people were killed as a result. (more…)

Children with special needs generally obtain their education in facilities designed to meet the challenges present with these types of students. These designs also include teachers who are specifically trained to work with special needs children, and one of the obvious qualities that needs to be present in any teacher is an abundance of patience. Unfortunately, a teacher in the Hialeah area did not display such a characteristic recently, and it got her arrested and convicted. (more…)

When people drive at 4:30 a.m., they usually enjoy relatively light traffic and few obstacles on the road. However, that could also increase the risk in some ways given the types of drivers who tend to share those roads at that early hour. While no details have yet been released other than the fact that charges are pending on one driver, a Hialeah man was tragically killed this morning on the Palmetto Expressway when he was rear-ended.

When people look to have dental work done, they often search for clinics via referral, online or through their insurance company. Therefore, when a clinic comes up in results, most people will basically assume that there is nothing to worry about in terms of the legitimacy of the professional who sees them. While it’s somewhat rare, simply making that assumption can be a mistake, and that point was reinforced with the arrest of a ‘dentist’ in Hialeah who was charged with practicing without a license.

Pit bulls are notorious for attacking people and other animals, and when it occurs, the owner of the dog is often held responsible for the injuries that the dog causes. However, some cases involve multiple actors and multiple factors that could lead to an assignment of liability. It appears that one such case could develop based on a troubling incident in Hialeah earlier today. (more…)

Everyone who is at all familiar with South Florida understands how integral a part of life boats are for many people. Boats are a source of recreation and transportation, especially in the Florida Keys. However, given the high traffic volume of boaters, accidents are bound to happen, and that’s apparently what occurred Friday east of Dinner Key. As a result, a Hialeah man and another boater are dead and another person was injured. (more…)
