Quick Answer: Injured in Miami?
If you've been hurt in an accident in Miami, get medical care first, then report the incident (call 911 for a crash or the Miami-Dade Police for other injuries) and keep everything — photos, the report number, witness contacts, and your medical records. Don't give a recorded statement to an insurer before speaking with an attorney.
Most Miami injury lawsuits are filed in the 11th Judicial Circuit at the Miami-Dade County Courthouse. Florida generally gives you two years to file a personal injury claim, so it's worth acting promptly.

Miami Personal Injury Cases We Handle
We focus on serious injury and wrongful-death cases across Miami-Dade County:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
We represent people hurt in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, and Uber and Lyft rideshare collisions, as well as bus, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes on Miami roads like I-95, US-1, and the Palmetto.
Premises Liability & Negligent Security
We hold property owners accountable when unsafe conditions cause harm — slip and fall injuries, and negligent security cases where an assault happens because a business, apartment complex, or parking area failed to provide reasonable safety. Negligent security is a core area for our firm, and our results include a $5 million recovery.
Catastrophic & Serious Injuries
We handle life-altering injuries including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other catastrophic injuries that require long-term care and change the course of a person's life.
Wrongful Death
When a family loses a loved one to someone else's negligence, our wrongful death attorneys help them pursue accountability and compensation for their loss.
We also handle cruise ship injury claims out of the Port of Miami. If you're not sure whether we handle your type of case, just ask — the call is free.
How a Miami Personal Injury Attorney Helps
When you hire our firm, we investigate the incident, gather and preserve evidence, and consult medical and other experts to document the full extent of your injuries. We handle the insurance companies directly — and if a fair settlement isn't offered, we file suit and take the case to trial in Miami-Dade County. Throughout, you work with the attorneys handling your case, not an intake desk.
Compensation You Can Recover in a Miami Injury Case
Under Florida law, an injured person may be able to recover:
Economic Damages
- Medical expenses — hospital care, surgery, rehabilitation, and future treatment
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Property damage, such as vehicle repair or replacement
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering, and mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life when injuries limit normal activities
- Emotional distress, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression
- Permanent disability, scarring, and disfigurement
Punitive Damages
In cases involving gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, Florida law may also allow punitive damages. Every case is different, and we evaluate yours honestly rather than promise a figure.
Understanding Florida Personal Injury Law
Florida's Statute of Limitations
Florida generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (as amended by HB 837 in 2023). Some claims — and claims against government entities — follow different timelines, so it's important to confirm your deadline early. Miss the applicable deadline and you can lose the right to recover.
Modified Comparative Negligence
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 50% bar. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. If you're partially at fault but 50% or less, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault. Insurers push fault onto injured people to cut payouts, and defending against that is part of what we do.
Miami Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Miami?
Florida generally allows two years from the date of the accident for most personal injury claims (HB 837, 2023). Some claim types and claims against government entities have different deadlines, so contact a lawyer promptly to confirm yours.
What should I do after an accident in Miami?
Call 911 and get medical attention, even for injuries that seem minor. Photograph the scene, gather witness contact information, and request the report number. Then speak with a Miami personal injury attorney before giving any recorded statement to an insurer.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Miami?
We work on a contingency-fee basis. There are no upfront costs, and we're paid only if we recover for you — typically a percentage in the 33.3%–40% range depending on the stage of the case. The initial consultation is free.
What is my Miami personal injury case worth?
It depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost income, and the long-term impact on your life. We evaluate your case thoroughly and give you an honest assessment — we don't quote a number before we understand the facts.
What types of cases does Kaiser Romanello handle in Miami?
Car, truck, motorcycle, and rideshare crashes; pedestrian and bicycle injuries; slip and falls and negligent security; catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries; and wrongful death. If you're unsure whether we handle your situation, ask us.
Will my Miami personal injury case go to trial?
Most cases settle through negotiation. But if an insurer won't offer fair value, our trial lawyers are prepared to take the case to court in the 11th Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident in Miami?
Under Florida's modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover if you are 50% or less at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share. If you're found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. We work to counter inflated fault allegations.
Can I recover if the at-fault driver in Miami was uninsured?
Possibly. If you carry Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, it may apply. We review every available source of recovery, including your own policy and any third parties who share responsibility.
