What does a dedicated Personal Injury Attorney and Law Firm do for their clients? 
The Perazzo Law Firm – Dedicated to putting their clients interests first…Always!
Personal injury accidents that require legal assistance and representation go beyond knowing the law (Tort Law), especially when dealing with insurance companies for compensation from personal injury accidents that lead to medical attention and economic losses. Personal injury accidents stemming from vehicle collisions, slip and fall incidents, dog attacks, premises liability claims, defective products or services, and wrongful death, will most often cast victims and loved-ones into a whirlwind of complications that stem beyond their concerns for physical, mental, and economic recovery. Many times, insurance companies will place obstacles down the road to recovery and resort to the common practice of offering accident victims unfair compensation settlements. Basically, and in layman’s terms, insurance companies like to make money not spend it, especially if the accident victim and/or family requires a large sum of money to compensate for losses incurred. However, it’s not all about money when a dedicated personal injury lawyer is involved. Though Jonathan Perazzo focuses on maximizing the accident victim’s recovery, he and his entire legal staff strive jointly to achieve their client’s 100% satisfaction. How? – By attending to every aspect of their claim throughout the entire legal process and until their case is resolved. When a client is 100% satisfied, Perazzo Law is too!

MOTORCYCLE MAYHEM IN MIAMI: Recreational motorcycling along the Florida coast remains an absolutely breathtaking experience. However, riding through the Miami metropolitan area has become a routine survival mission for those depending on motorcycles to commute and work. Motorcycle riders that are involved in accidents that include cars or trucks usually suffer personal injury, property damage, or losses. Sadly, with the scores of pedestrians, joggers, bikers, scooters, cars, and trucks that make-up part of the daily urban landscape, it’s just a matter of time before a motorcycle accident happens. Though the factors behind motorcycles accidents vary, Perazzo Law understands reckless driving and overall negligence are perhaps the leading causes. In other words, safe drivers are less likely to get injured or killed while riding their motorcycle through Miami-Dade or Broward County cities. When motorcycle accidents occur, Perazzo Law’s professional representation may be required for handling the legal complexities that compensation claims involve.
Whether riding to work in the city or delivering a pizza in the suburbs, a motorcycle accident can occur as a result of individual fault or third party negligence. Most motorcycle accidents that involve other motor vehicles may end in bruises, fractures, or even death. But who’s going to pay for property damage, medical bills, or funeral expenses?
FLORIDA: Chartering a boat and taking to an ocean journey for a festive gathering can make for a memorable Miami moment. However, hiring a boat is different than hiring an Uber or renting a car, and when people fail to tell the difference, a boat ride can end tragically or simply go bust. Such was the case in Biscayne Bay this past Sunday when a 45-foot yacht called “Sea You Twerk’ was pulled over by the U.S. Coast Guard and held for violation of boating safety regulations. Unfortunately for the boat operators and the 14 passengers on board, the trip was cut short after the Coast Guard verified no licensed captain on board and no certificate of vessel inspection. This latest incident is just one in a string of cases where unsuspecting people charter boats that may not meet with safety operating standards. 
The best way to steer clear of serious injury from a boating accident is to be familiar with the rules and regulations pertinent to boat owners and operators. There are specific rules governing the command or usage of boats and water vessels according to the location and even the time of year. There are also laws regulating the type and amount of safety equipment that must be on board, such as long range communications equipment and life vests. In addition, there are laws limiting the amount of alcohol a boat operator may consume without running the risk of being charged with boating under the influence. Florida law requires that individuals under the age of 21 must take an approved boating safety course and be awarded a boating safety ID card to operate a boat with 10 horsepower or more. They must also carry the ID card and a photo ID issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

THE BAHAMAS: Fire swept through the Princess Cays Resort this past Monday night and struck panic among hotel staff and local residents. With an average of five Princess and Carnival cruise ships docking every week at the south port of Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas, yellow and red flames lit-up the night sky alongside beach chairs and umbrellas. Luckily, local firefighters and local staff were able to get the fire under control in just over an over. Princess Cruises reported no injuries and thanks to no passenger ships docking that day, there were no guests at the resort. Unfortunately, the flames were enough to damage several buildings across the 40 acres of land owned by the Princess Cruises Company, which last year renovated the Princess Cays Resort and added a marina. The cruise ship Carnival Pride, along with its 2500+ passengers, was scheduled to arrive but had to set a new course for Half Moon Cay because of the damage the fire left behind at Princess Cays. It is still uncertain what led the blaze at the Bahamas resort.

Miami-Dade, Florida: A child aboard an ATV crashed into a automobile Sunday afternoon and had to be taken to the hospital in a helicopter. The accident occurred during the annual “Bikes Up, Guns Down” rally at the intersection of NW 16th and NW 5th Court in Florida City. Aerial footage showed reckless riding by the demonstrators, many of whom performed stunts on I95 and could be seen weaving in-and-out of traffic throughout Miami-Dade County. Though ATV’s are fun to ride, especially round Miami Beach, some 400 ATV-related fatalities happen every year across the United States, with kids under 16 accounting for 1/3 of all all fatal accidents worldwide. From 2014-16, there were 60 reported ATV related deaths in Florida, which ranks 6th in the USA. Though purely recreational for about 80% of riders, Florida law dictates that ATVs are prohibited on public streets, avenues, or highways. Furthermore, kids under 16 must wear a helmet regardless of whether they are riders or passengers. Non compliance could lead to fines as well as serious head injury in the event of an accident. Perazzo Law advises ATV operators to refrain from operating an ATV on public roads in order to avoid legal issues in the event of an accident or run-ins with the law.
Despite the misconception that ATV’s don’t require a license to be operated in public, the DMV and Florida law dictate that a valid license is required to operate an ATV. Operating an ATV, as detailed in s.
