Personal Injury

If you were hurt because of someone else’s negligence, we help you understand your options and pursue the recovery the law allows.

We represent injured people throughout Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Weston, Sunrise, Boca Raton and the Palm Beaches. Injuries — physical and emotional — bring medical bills, lost wages and stress that an innocent person should not have to carry alone.

Responsibility does not always stop with one careless driver or property owner. Depending on the facts, a vehicle owner, manufacturer, rental or leasing company, repair shop, employer or municipality may share liability. We investigate to identify every responsible party.

Important: Florida changed its negligence laws in 2023. For most negligence claims arising after March 24, 2023, the deadline to file suit is generally two years, and an injured person found more than 50% at fault may be barred from recovering. Talk to a lawyer promptly about the deadlines that apply to you.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

For most negligence claims arising after March 24, 2023, Florida’s statute of limitations is generally two years. Other deadlines can be shorter (for example, claims against government entities have notice requirements). Contact us promptly so a lawyer can evaluate your specific deadline.

What should I do after a hurricane or property damage loss?

Document all damage with photos and video, locate your insurance policy, notify your insurance carrier, and do not sign anything an adjuster offers until you understand it. Then call us to review your claim.
