Local knowledge

What we see in Aventura

Biscayne Boulevard through Aventura is a wide, heavily signalized road serving a mall that draws traffic from two counties. Turning movements in and out of the mall and the retail on either side generate a steady run of collisions, and the parking structures generate their own: low-speed impacts, disputed fault, and pedestrians struck in garages where nobody expected them.

The William Lehman Causeway carries the beach traffic east, and the condominium towers along Country Club Drive create a mixed environment of residents walking, cycling and running on a road built for cars. Premises claims are also a substantial share of the work here, because so much of the city is privately managed property: lobbies, garages, pool decks and the walkways between them, each with an association and usually a contractor behind it.

Claims we handle from Aventura

  • Collisions turning into and out of the Biscayne Boulevard retail corridor
  • Parking garage impacts and pedestrians struck inside structures
  • Cyclists and runners on the Country Club Drive loop
  • Condominium common-area falls and negligent security claims

Where a Aventura case is handled

Aventura is in Miami-Dade County, so a suit is filed in the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. The roads these claims come from are Biscayne Boulevard, the William Lehman Causeway, Country Club Drive and Ives Dairy Road, and where an injury needed trauma care the records generally sit with the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. We work Aventura from our Miami office at 1111 Brickell Avenue, 11th Floor, Miami, FL 33131, and we do not publish an address here because we do not have one here.

Questions

Aventura questions we get

I was hit in a private parking garage. Is that still a normal claim?

Yes, and it usually has two possible defendants rather than one. The driver is liable for the impact, and the property may be liable as well if the design, lighting or sightlines contributed. Police often do not investigate crashes on private property the way they do on a road, so the evidence tends to be the garage's own cameras. Those get overwritten quickly, which is the reason to move early.

Do you have an office in Aventura?

No, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. We serve Aventura from our Miami office at 1111 Brickell Avenue, 11th Floor, Miami, FL 33131, which is where the lawyer handling your case sits. It changes nothing about the claim: a Aventura injury is filed in the Miami-Dade County Courthouse either way, and the first conversation costs you nothing wherever you are.

Which court hears a Aventura injury case?

the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Claims up to $50,000 are heard in county court and larger claims go to circuit court. If the injury was serious enough for trauma care, the records that matter most usually sit with the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.

The questions that apply to any Florida claim, deadlines, fees and shared fault, are on our injury claim FAQ.
