Types of Personal Injury Cases
South Miami, with its mix of residential neighborhoods, busy commuter roads, and high pedestrian activity, presents many opportunities for accidents. Our firm represents victims across Miami-Dade County in a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
Car Accidents
Collisions are common along US-1, Red Road, Sunset Drive, and Ludlam Road. We regularly assist clients injured in:
- Rear-end collisions
- Intersection accidents
- Hit-and-run crashes
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving crashes
- Distracted driving collisions
- T-bone and side-impact accidents
Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents
South Miami’s walkability is one of its greatest features, but also a frequent cause of accidents. Near Sunset Place, residential areas, and school zones, pedestrians and cyclists face risks from speeding drivers, distracted motorists, and unsafe intersections.
Motorcycle Accidents
With warm year-round weather and scenic routes through Coral Gables and Pinecrest, the region is popular among motorcyclists. Unfortunately, motorcycle riders are vulnerable to severe injuries from negligent drivers who fail to yield or properly check blind spots.
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Large commercial trucks and delivery vehicles frequently travel through South Miami’s major corridors. Collisions involving trucks often produce significant injuries, and these cases demand aggressive investigation to determine corporate liability, vehicle maintenance issues, and violations of federal trucking regulations.
Slip and Fall Accidents / Premises Liability
We represent individuals injured due to unsafe property conditions in:
- Retail stores
- Grocery stores
- Restaurants and cafés
- Apartment complexes
- Condominiums
- Parking lots and garages
- Private residences
Common hazards include wet floors, poorly lit walkways, broken steps, uneven surfaces, and negligent security.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft)
South Miami residents and students frequently use rideshare services. When an accident occurs, determining which insurance policy applies—Uber’s, Lyft’s, or the driver’s personal coverage—can be complex. We handle these cases from start to finish.
Medical Malpractice
With facilities such as South Miami Hospital in the area, errors in treatment, diagnosis, or procedures can occur. We evaluate potential medical malpractice claims with meticulous attention to detail.
Nursing Home Neglect
Injuries related to elder abuse, neglect, or unsafe living conditions require swift legal action. We protect vulnerable seniors and hold facilities accountable.
Wrongful Death
When a life is lost due to negligence, we stand beside families to demand justice, compensation, and accountability.
No matter the type of injury, our firm provides a personalized, thorough, and compassionate legal strategy designed to protect your future.
What Compensation Can You Recover
Personal injury compensation in Florida is designed to restore as much stability as possible after an accident. While no amount of money can erase physical pain or emotional trauma, fair compensation can help you rebuild and heal.

The Legal Process
Many South Miami injury victims feel overwhelmed by medical bills, paperwork, and insurance phone calls. Our firm handles the entire legal process so you can focus on healing.
Step 1: Free Consultation
We learn about your accident, injuries, and concerns. You pay nothing for this discussion.
Step 2: Investigation
We gather vital evidence, such as:
- Police reports
- Medical documentation
- Accident scene photos
- Witness statements
- Surveillance footage
- Expert testimony
- Vehicle data (when applicable)
Step 3: Determining Liability
We identify every responsible party—drivers, property owners, businesses, or manufacturers—and analyze applicable insurance policies.
Step 4: Building Your Claim
We compile a comprehensive demand package that includes medical analysis, financial losses, and long-term recovery needs.
Step 5: Negotiations
We negotiate directly with insurance companies to pursue the best possible settlement.
Step 6: Litigation (If Necessary)
If insurers refuse fair compensation, we file a lawsuit and prepare your case for trial. While many cases settle before trial, we prepare every case as if it will go to court.
Throughout the entire process, we maintain open, frequent communication, ensuring you feel informed, supported, and empowered.
We Handle the Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To
Insurance companies are trained to protect their own financial interests—not yours. Adjusters may attempt to minimize your injuries, dispute medical treatments, or pressure you into accepting a low settlement. Some may even blame you for the accident.
We intervene on your behalf to:
- Stop all insurance calls
- Prevent unfair or misleading tactics
- Organize medical bills and wage documentation
- Negotiate aggressively for full compensation
- Shield you from recorded statements
- Advocate for long-term medical and financial needs
With our firm handling the insurance companies, you can focus on what matters most—your recovery.
