Thousands of accidents occur each day due to another person’s careless or reckless behavior. Having to seek expensive medical care as a result of a negligent person, company, or establishment that failed to act reasonably can be devastating. Especially if your injuries require emergency care or ongoing therapy, the financial losses you sustain can cause extreme harm. If you are not sure how to take action against the person responsible for your injuries and suffering, turn to a Largo personal injury attorney for guidance.
At Marsalisi Law, our team can help you understand the complex process of filing a claim. Depending on your type of accident, there might be several parties responsible for your damages. Attorney Frank P. Marsalisi puts accident victims first by providing close personal attention to each personal injury case. If you are in pain, undergoing recovery, or are concerned about your financial future, our law firm can help you find peace of mind.
Thousands of car crashes take place every day in Florida, causing billions of dollars in losses. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that in 2019 there were 3,183 fatalities in Florida. Negligent actions while driving a vehicle can cause devastating crashes. The following are common negligent actions that cause car crashes:
These actions are avoidable and can be prevented with proper care. These selfish behaviors carry life-changing impacts on victims and their families.
If you own a car in Florida, you have likely heard the term “no-fault state” more than once. The law indicates that drivers are required to have $10,000 worth of personal injury protection (PIP) coverage as part of their auto insurance. Regardless of who was at fault in a car accident, this policy will pay 80% of the insured’s medical bills and 60% of lost wages until the limit is reached.
Contrary to what some Floridians may think, the “no fault” system does not mean that there is no liability for a car accident, nor does it mean that you cannot contact a lawyer and pursue compensation for your injuries. Therefore, if you have been in an accident with another driver, you can file a claim for property damage against their policy. If they have bodily injury coverage, you can also file a claim for the medical bills and lost wages that are not covered under your PIP coverage.
Accidents happen unexpectedly and can cause severe damages.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
