Pensacola is getting a major new trampoline park up on North Davis Highway in the old Dirt Cheap location with a 30,000+ square-foot indoor venue featuring trampolines, arcade games, bowling, and more.  On its face, it sounds like exactly what families want: a fun, all-in-one place where kids ca...

In recent months, lawsuits against social media giants like Facebook (and its parent company, Meta), TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and Google have moved from theory to reality—and the results are getting attention. Courts and juries are beginning to weigh in on a question many families have quietl...

At Taylor, Warren, Weidner, Hancock & Barnes, P.A., we often hear people downplay slip-and-fall incidents as “just accidents.” But a recent Florida appellate decision serves as a powerful reminder: dangerous conditions in commercial establishments are often preventable—and when they're ignored, s...

If you watched or read the recent New York Times piece on car safety and crash test dummies, one takeaway should stop you in your tracks: For decades, cars have largely been designed and tested using male bodies—not female ones. That's not just a technical oversight. It has real-world consequen...

When families visit a trampoline park, they expect fun—not a trip to the emergency room. At Taylor, Warren, Weidner, Hancock & Barnes, P.A., we regularly hear a version of the same story: “A staff member warned the kids to be careful.”“They blew a whistle.”“They told them to stop double-bouncing...

When a child is injured at a trampoline park, parents often blame themselves. “I was right there.” “I was watching the whole time.” “Someone was supervising.” Because of that, many families never explore whether they may have a valid injury claim. That hesitation is understandable—but in many cas...

Trampoline parks are marketed as fun, high-energy spaces for kids to burn off steam. But when a child is seriously injured at one of these facilities, parents are often told the same thing: your child broke the rules, so the park isn't responsible. That message can feel definitive—and discouragin...

Trampoline parks have exploded in popularity across Florida and the Gulf Coast. Birthday parties, rainy-day play, and after-school fun often lead families straight to these high-energy facilities. But when fun turns into a serious injury, many parents are told the same thing: “You signed a waive...

A recent decision from Florida's Fifth District Court of Appeal delivers an important reminder for policyholders and businesses across the state: insurance agents and brokers owe real, enforceable legal duties to their clients—and they can be held accountable when those duties are breached. In B...

Often, in a slip-and-fall accident, the case can be dismissed if the property owner successfully argues “The hazard was open and obvious.” Business and homeowners and their insurance companies routinely argue that if a condition could be seen, they should not be held responsible for injuries it c...

Trampoline accidents account for tens of thousands of injuries every year in the United States. The majority of these injuries occur in younger users, especially kids between about 5 and 14 years old, and a large share happen when multiple people are on the trampoline at the same time. Fractures ...

As e-bikes and e-moto scooters have proliferated along Florida roads—especially in urban areas—accidents have increased dramatically. For many victims, one of the hardest and most stressful aspects isn't only recovery from injury but figuring out who is responsible (meaning, “liable”). For a serv...

In recent years, many Floridians have turned to electric-powered scooters, bicycles, and more frequently, electric motorcross-style bikes known as “e-moto bikes.” These bikes and scooters are often marketed as “fun,” “eco-friendly,” or “convenient” alternatives to cars or traditional bicycles. Bu...

Trucking regulations don't just make the roads safer—they can make a victim's legal claim stronger.  Just ask TWWHB partner, Keith Weidner, who talks about the complexities of trucking accidents in this Legal Minute Video.  After a serious truck crash, knowing which rules were broken often determ...

After a trucking accident, one of the first questions injured victims ask is: “Who's responsible?” The answer often lies in the hundreds of federal safety regulations that govern commercial trucking. These rules aren't just bureaucratic red tape—they're lifesaving standards meant to prevent the v...

When it comes to trucking accidents, we have explained before federal and state regulations don't just set the rules of the road—they often determine who's responsible when something goes wrong. These laws exist to protect everyone who shares the highway with massive commercial trucks. When a dri...

In 2023, Florida lawmakers promised relief for homeowners by passing sweeping changes to the state's insurance laws. The goal was clear: reduce lawsuits, lower premiums, and stabilize Florida's struggling insurance market. But new data shows that instead of protecting homeowners, the reforms may ...

Sidewalks and pedestrian walkways exist for one purpose: safe foot traffic. But with the rise of electric bikes, e-moto scooters, and similar devices, Florida's pedestrians are increasingly sharing their space with fast-moving, motorized vehicles that simply do not belong there. As a small plaint...

Electric-powered “e-moto bikes” are flooding Florida streets—and for many consumers, the main selling point is simple: speed. These devices are marketed as convenient, fun, and eco-friendly, but few riders—teens, in particular, as we have reported before—truly understand the risks involved when a...

Collisions between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles are rarely “minor.” The size and weight of a fully loaded truck can turn even a low-speed crash into a catastrophic event. This makes trucking accidents a far different animal than your standard car accident.  For trucking accident victi...

When a car accident happens, it is usually a matter of one driver's insurance versus the other's. But in trucking accident cases, the situation is rarely that simple. These cases can involve multiple companies—each with its own insurance carrier, numerous attorneys, and corporate priorities—all w...

Trucking cases are far different than your typical car accident case, which means they require an attorney with more experience handling complex personal injury cases.  When a commercial truck is involved in a crash, the legal challenges are on a different scale because they operate within a uniq...

At Taylor, Warren, Weidner, Hancock & Barnes, we believe patients deserve answers—and justice—when medical professionals fail to provide the standard of care they have sworn to uphold. A recent decision out of Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeals reminds us just how crucial it is to hold ne...

In a win for Florida policyholders, the recent appellate decision in Brito v. Citizens Prop. Ins. Corp. shines a spotlight on a tactic we've seen far too often: insurance companies wrongfully denying coverage, then using policy fine print to argue they do not have to pay for full repair costs unt...
