Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
We represent individuals and the families of individuals who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others. We understand how insurance companies and lawyers on the other side think. Insurance companies are interested in minimizing their economic exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred. They hire investigators and attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of the victim's claim. We know their tactics. We take each case on as if it will proceed to trial and we are not afraid to take a case all the way to jury verdict if we think a trial is necessary to produce the best possible result. Our experience in this area runs the gamut from slip and fall injuries to exposure to harmful chemicals.

Cruise Ship Injuries and Liability
We are experienced in maritime law and can provide you with the legal representation you need to recover damages for the negligence of cruise ship lines, and for boating injuries or other accidents that occur in the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Almost all cruise ship lines designate Miami as the venue for an injured plaintiff to bring a claim for injuries that occur onboard their vessels. An injured plaintiff has only one year from the date of injury to file a claim in Miami. This is true even though an injured victim may still be receiving treatment more than a year after the accident. If you have been injured on a cruise ship, don't delay: contact us immediately. Our firm will move quickly to protect your interests.

Premises liability encompasses such matters as unsafe building conditions, design or structural flaws, environmental hazards, or other problems on property that result in injuries. In many cases, a lack of - or substandard - security on premises can result in liability of property owners or landlords. Crime statistics, event history, community standards, and specific risk considerations can play a part in determining whether an injurious event was foreseeable. We have the expertise to help you recover damages for your injury.

Medical negligence or "malpractice" occurs when a physician or healthcare provider either fails to do something that should have been done or does something that should not have been done with a resulting injury or death. Doctors and other health care providers must follow certain standards when caring for patients. With our experience, we can help clients determine whether or not malpractice has occurred where someone is injured as a result of negligence or misconduct of physicians, surgeons, chiropractors, or other health professionals. Our firm aggressively investigates and pursues claims for catastrophic injuries and death arising out of malpractice committed by doctors and other healthcare providers.

Serious car and other motor vehicle accidents require the guidance of an experienced attorney. Our firm has years of practice and an impressive track record representing people who have suffered significant injuries in motor vehicle accidents (commercial and personal). We work with physicians and other health care providers to assess and review all the short and long-term medical aspects of your case. Our detailed understanding of Florida's automobile, insurance, and liability laws means we understand the different sources of recovery available to car accident victims and their families as well as the various theories of liability that enable those victims to collect damages from the parties who caused them harm.

Insurance Bad Faith
When an insurance company violates principles or regulations governing insurance law, it may constitute bad faith. Some actions which may constitute bad faith include: unreasonably denying a claim, stalling in making a decision on a claim, or requiring unreasonable actions or documentation by an insured to prove a claim. In addition to the value of the claim itself, an insurance company acting in bad faith may also be liable for additional damages for causing emotional distress to the plaintiff. And the insurance company may be liable for punitive damages if the conduct, or the pattern of conduct, is outrageous. Call (305) 531-9844 if you believe your insurance company is acting in bad faith.
