Miami Personal Injury Lawyer
Miami-Dade produces a volume and a variety of injury work that no other Florida county matches, and two things about it change how a case is run: the number of drivers carrying no bodily injury coverage at all, and how often the injured person or their family is not in the United States. Our office is at 1111 Brickell Avenue, and a case arising here is filed in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit at the Miami-Dade County Courthouse. Call 844-643-7200 and speak to a lawyer about what happened. The consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we win.
Florida shortened the deadline to file most injury lawsuits from four years to two years for accidents on or after March 24, 2023 (HB 837, amending Fla. Stat. § 95.11). Accidents before that date still carry the four-year deadline.

View →Where Miami-Dade County crashes happen
The collisions concentrate on the Palmetto Expressway, I-95 through downtown, the Dolphin, and US-1 through Brickell, and the serious ones route to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial. Multi-vehicle wrecks on those roads create a fault argument among several insurers at once, each with a reason to point at somebody else, which is a very different negotiation from a two-car crash on a surface street.
The other Miami-Dade pattern is coverage. Florida does not require a driver to carry bodily injury liability at all, and in this county the practical consequence is that uninsured motorist coverage is frequently the largest policy in the case. We read the declarations page before anything else, because it often decides what the claim can realistically be worth.
The two claim types that come out of those roads most often are Miami car accident claims and Miami slip and fall claims. Everything else we handle in Miami-Dade County is listed above.
What to do in the first week
- Get evaluated, even if you felt fine at the scene. Gaps in treatment get used against you.
- Report the crash to your own insurer, but do not give the other side a recorded statement.
- Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries while they are visible.
- See a doctor within 14 days of a crash, or your own coverage pays nothing at all.

What we have recovered here
Matters this firm handled in Miami-Dade County, with the press coverage where there was any. Figures are gross recoveries, before attorney fees, costs and medical liens come out of them.
A restaurant that ignored its own posted safety procedures broke an elderly client’s arm, then argued at trial that she had taken too much medication, then not enough, and finally that she caused the spill herself from fifteen feet away.
Miami-Dade jury verdictA young client was shot during a violent crime at a Miami-Dade apartment complex.
Confidential settlementEvery verdict and settlement we publish, with the press coverage for the ones that were reported. No result predicts another case: every claim turns on its own facts, its own evidence and the insurance actually available.
Cities we cover from Miami
We hold no office in these cities and do not claim one. Each is worked from Miami, and every case still files in Miami-Dade County unless it crosses a county line.
Aventura Personal Injury Lawyer
Aventura packs a regional shopping mall, a dense condominium corridor and a causeway to the beach into three square miles, and Biscayne Boulevard absorbs all of it.
View →Coral Gables Personal Injury Lawyer
Coral Gables is a city of narrow banyan-lined streets and traffic circles wrapped around one of the busiest highways in the county, and the two do not mix well.
View →Hialeah Personal Injury Lawyer
Hialeah is a working industrial city, and the difference that makes to an injury claim is trucks: Okeechobee Road and the Palmetto carry freight through the middle of it all day.
View →Miami Beach Personal Injury Lawyer
Miami Beach runs on scooters, rented bicycles, rideshare pickups and pedestrians who do not know the streets, packed onto a barrier island with three ways off it.
View →Miami questions we get
Our family is not in the United States. Can we still bring a claim in Miami?
Yes. Florida law decides who may recover regardless of where they live, and we work with families abroad regularly. What takes longer is the practical side: appointing a personal representative where a death is involved, serving documents, and arranging translation. Starting early is what stops that administrative delay from costing the underlying case.
Where is your Miami office?
1111 Brickell Avenue, 11th Floor, Miami, FL 33131. Consultations are free, and we can come to you if you cannot travel.
Which court will my Miami-Dade County injury case be filed in?
Most Miami-Dade County personal injury suits are filed in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit at the Miami-Dade County Courthouse. Claims under $50,000 are heard in county court, and larger claims go to circuit court.
How long do I have to file an injury lawsuit in Florida?
Two years from the date of the accident, if it happened on or after March 24, 2023. Accidents before that date carry the older four-year deadline. Claims against a government entity have their own shorter notice requirements.
More of what people ask before they call is on our Florida injury claim FAQ, and the other four offices are on our locations page.
