Living in a beautiful neighborhood in Coral Springs can be relaxing and comforting. Unfortunately, there are occasions where accidents occur and people get substantially hurt. When this happens, victims and their loved ones are overwhelmed with the rising stress of coping with the injuries and associated costs. However, understanding what constitutes a personal injury and what you can do in the event of an accident, may allow you to control your situation and surrounding circumstances better.
Personal Injuries are Caused by NegligenceAccidents involving cars, motorcycles, medical malpractice, dog bites, boats, and cruise ships are often caused by the negligence of another. A person is found to be negligent when they have a duty towards you, fails to perform that duty and such failure is the ultimate cause of your injury.
For instance, if you are shopping at the grocery store and slip and fall from a banana peel that the store clerk saw but failed to pick up, then the grocery store is responsible for paying for your injury. If you have stopped working because of this injury, then the grocery store will need to pay for those costs as well. Any costs that you now face because of this injury is the responsibility of the person or company that owns the grocery store and you have a legal right to financial compensation.

About Coral SpringsCoral Springs, a city in Broward County, Florida, has a population of 121,096 according to the 2010 United States Census Bureau report. Chartered on July 10, 1963, the city was primarily developed by WCI Communities. Since the company was formerly known as Coral Ridge Properties, it was the inspiration of the city’s name. The company was the only reason for the name, as the city does not have any springs within its boundaries. Coral Springs is known as “the City in the Country” with parks, schools, athletic programs, and beautiful aesthetic neighborhoods.

The City Commissions wants to “develop innovative ways to make participation in local government activities possible for all residents… by effectively communicating a common identity … aligning City services with customer expectations and continuing to strive for excellence.” The Commission is also focused on financial health, economic development, improving educational resources, and providing a safe neighborhood and environment for residents and visitors alike.
