The most common accidents that people suffer during festive occasions such as the 4th of July weekend can include any of the following:

• Bike Accidents: Bike riding has become extremely dangerous in Miami due to the growing dependence on cell phone use while peddling, driving, and even walking.
• Car Accidents: Florida is the most dangerous state in the country for driving and has the highest number of car accidents per capita. Careless driving includes failure to yield to oncoming traffic and improper lane changes, two of the leading causes for car accidents in Miami. The car accident lawyers at the Perazzo Law Firm believe that negligent cell phone use by motorists is one of the primary factors for which Florida leads the country in terms of car accidents and injuries to motorists, passengers, and other individuals.
• Motorcycle Accidents: motorcycle riders are constantly at risk of suffering a motorcycle accident due to the negligent acts of those with whom they share roadways. As stated above, improper lane changes often lead to motorcycle riders suffering an accident which most often will result in severe personal injuries to them. Again, there are a great number of motorists driving while using their cell phone and this is causing an alarming rise in the number of car accidents in Miami.
• Pedestrian Accidents: the only place a person is safe as a pedestrian seems to be a barren beach or empty park. bike riders, rollerbladers, motorists, and negligent business owners all place pedestrians at risk of suffering an accident. Ironically, most pedestrian accidents take place at crosswalks and intersections. this is because, both pedestrians and those in motion fail to watch where they’re going. A negligent business owner may fail to take the necessary measures to prevent a pedestrian from suffering an accident. This can include failure to warn of a possible obstacle or situation which may cause a pedestrian to fall and suffer injuries.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: slip and fall accidents usually occur when a business owner or proprietor is negligent in making sure that walking surfaces are safe for those that visit their establishment or home. soiled walking surfaces, poor lighting, improper signaling, lack of maintenance can lead to slip and fall accidents. in Miami, the lawyers at the Perazzo Law Firm, remind accident victims that supermarkets, amusement parks, hotels, bars, and restaurants are where most slip and fall accidents occur.
• Uber and rideshare services accidents: hiring a rideshare service is sometimes your best bet to prevent being involved in a car accident after festive occasions that include alcohol or other substances that may affect your driving skills especially in Miami where driving represents a danger to anyone sharing a roadway with another vehicle. The best advice that the car accident lawyers at the Perazzo Law Firm can give anyone that had a little too much to drink is to take and Uber, taxi, or other rideshare service to get where they want to go. It’s important to remember that if an Uber or other rideshare services vehicle is involved in a car accident, the injured party is covered for as much as $1,000,000 to compensate medical expenses and losses as a result of injuries from the Uber or rideshare car accident incident. This insurance coverage also applies to Uber or rideshare drivers.
