Traffic Signal Malfunction Car Accident Claim: What Florida Drivers Should Know
When a traffic signal at an intersection fails, malfunctions, or goes dark, the risk of a collision rises dramatically. In Florida, if you’re involved in a crash because of a malfunctioning traffic light, it’s crucial to understand how liability is determined—including whether the driver, the municipality, or another party may be at fault. Your claim may hinge on proving which party knew (or should have known) about the light’s defect, what warnings were provided, and how the other driver responded. Because government entities enjoy special protections under Florida law, navigating a claim involving a faulty signal requires prompt action and detailed evidence. A seasoned personal injury attorney can help you investigate the light’s maintenance history, gather footage or witness statements, and build a stronger case for compensation.

VIN Checks Can Help Prove Fault in a Car Accident
When you’re dealing with a car crash, obtaining the vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and running a VIN-history check can be a powerful tool in your claim. These reports may reveal key details such as past accidents, salvage titles, odometer discrepancies, or unrepaired damage that can help establish fault or raise questions about a vehicle’s history. While not every incident appears in a VIN report (minor crashes may go unreported), combining the VIN check with other evidence—photos, police reports, repair invoices—gives your legal team a stronger foundation. For best results, document the VIN at the scene if possible and provide the report to your attorney early.

Helmet Law for Motorcycle Riders in Florida
In Florida, riders under the age of 21 are legally required to wear a DOT-approved motorcycle helmet when operating or riding on a motorcycle. Riders aged 21 or older may ride without a helmet only if they carry a motorcycle insurance policy that provides at least $10,000 in medical benefits for injuries sustained in a crash. Eye protection (goggles, face shield, etc.) is required for all riders, regardless of age or helmet use. Even if you’re over 21 and meet the insurance exemption, choosing not to wear a helmet can still impact your insurance claim or lawsuit if you’re injured.
