Bay Harbor Islands is one of Miami-Dade County’s most unique and picturesque communities. With its peaceful residential streets, vibrant Kane Concourse business corridor, waterfront condominiums, and easy access to nearby Bal Harbour and Surfside, it’s an area where people walk, shop, commute, and enjoy the outdoors every day. But even in this serene environment, accidents can happen in an instant. Whether you were struck by a vehicle near 96th Street, injured in a fall while visiting a local business, hurt while biking near the Broad Causeway, or involved in an accident at a waterfront property, the consequences can be life-changing.
When someone else’s negligence causes you harm, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. You may be facing mounting medical bills, lost time from work, ongoing pain, and insurance companies who pressure you into accepting a quick settlement that doesn’t reflect the true cost of your injuries. At The Injury Claim Law Firm, we stand with injury victims throughout Bay Harbor Islands and Miami-Dade County, helping them protect their rights, understand their legal options, and pursue full and fair compensation. Our team is committed to providing compassionate guidance and aggressive advocacy from start to finish.

Local Insight and Practical Understanding

Types of Personal Injury Cases
The Injury Claim Law Firm assists clients across a wide range of injury situations in Bay Harbor Islands and throughout Miami-Dade County. Here are the most common types of cases we handle.
Car Accidents
While Bay Harbor Islands is small, several roads see significant traffic from commuters, residents, and visitors. Car accidents commonly occur along:
- Kane Concourse (96th Street)
- West and East Bay Harbor Islands intersections
- Broad Causeway entrances
- Collins Avenue and Harding Avenue nearby
Accidents may involve rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, sideswipes, distracted driving, speeding, or careless lane changes. We handle every step of your claim, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurers.
Pedestrian Accidents
Bay Harbor Islands is extremely walkable, with residents frequently traveling by foot between homes, businesses, and shops along Kane Concourse. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents can result in devastating injuries due to the lack of physical protection. These incidents may occur when drivers fail to yield at crosswalks, speed through intersections, or become distracted.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists enjoy the scenic routes along Bay Harbor Islands and the surrounding areas, but close proximity to vehicle traffic can be dangerous. Bicycle collisions often result from inattentive drivers, unsafe passing, opening doors without checking, or improper right-hand turns near bike lanes. We advocate for cyclists injured in these preventable crashes.
Slip and Fall / Trip and Fall Accidents
Businesses, property managers, and homeowners have a duty to keep their premises safe. Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can occur in:
- Retail stores
- Restaurants
- Office buildings
- Parking lots
- Multi-story residential buildings
- Waterfront walkways
Hazards may include wet floors, broken tiles, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or loose handrails. We work to hold negligent property owners accountable.
Condominium and Apartment Injuries
Bay Harbor Islands features numerous mid-rise and high-rise condominium buildings. Injuries may occur due to:
- Faulty elevators
- Unsafe stairways
- Poor maintenance in common areas
- Defective flooring or loose carpeting
- Negligent security incidents
We investigate building policies, maintenance history, and property management behavior to determine responsibility.
Boating and Waterfront Accidents
With its scenic waterways and residential docks, Bay Harbor Islands sees boating activity year-round. Accidents may involve:
- Boat collisions
- Jet ski accidents
- Marina slip and falls
- Dock or seawall injuries
- Negligent vessel operation
Water-related injury claims often involve multiple insurance policies and specialized rules, which our firm is fully equipped to navigate.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists traveling through the Bay Harbor Islands area face risks from inattentive drivers, blind spots, and sudden lane shifts. We represent injured riders and fight against insurance biases that seek to minimize their claims.
Dog Bites
Pet-friendly buildings and private homes make dog bites a possibility. Florida law often holds dog owners responsible when their animal injures someone. These incidents can lead to serious injuries, scarring, or emotional trauma.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one is lost due to someone else’s negligence, families deserve justice and financial support. We handle wrongful death cases with sensitivity, respect, and unwavering dedication.
What Compensation Can You Recover
Personal injury compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the evidence available. Our goal is to pursue the full amount you are legally entitled to.
You may be able to recover damages for:
- Emergency medical care
- Hospitalization and surgeries
- Specialist visits
- Physical therapy
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability or impairment
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
For families pursuing wrongful death claims, compensation may include funeral expenses, loss of support, and loss of companionship.
The Legal Process
Knowing what to expect during a personal injury case can ease anxiety and help you feel in control. Here’s an overview of how our process works.
1. Free Consultation
We discuss your accident, injuries, and concerns. We explain your rights and outline the best strategy for your situation.
2. Investigation and Evidence Collection
We gather everything needed to build a strong claim, including:
- Accident reports
- Photos and videos
- Witness statements
- Surveillance footage (common near shops on Kane Concourse)
- Medical records
- Property or vehicle damage documentation
We may also work with expert witnesses when necessary.
3. Medical Documentation
Your injury-related treatment forms the backbone of your case. We ensure your medical care is fully documented and that any future treatment needs are properly evaluated.
4. Negotiation With Insurance Companies
Insurers often attempt to minimize payouts by disputing injuries, denying responsibility, or offering low settlements. We handle all communication and negotiations to protect your interests.
5. Filing a Lawsuit When Necessary
If the insurance company does not offer fair compensation, we are prepared to take your case to court in Miami-Dade County.
6. Settlement or Trial
Most cases resolve through settlement or mediation, but we are fully prepared for trial if needed. Our priority is always to secure the best possible outcome.
We Handle the Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To
Insurance companies often use aggressive tactics—pressuring victims, questioning their injuries, or delaying the claim. When you’re recovering from an accident, these tactics can feel overwhelming.
We take over every part of the insurance process, including:
- All phone calls
- All documentation requests
- All settlement negotiations
- All filings and legal deadlines
- All litigation steps
You focus on healing. We handle everything else.
