Injured in Miami, Miami Beach, Aventura or anywhere in Miami-Dade? Fenstersheib Law Group’s office is just across the county line in Hallandale Beach, and we’ve fought for injured South Floridians for more than 40 years.
Miami-Dade is Florida’s most populous county, and its roads show it. I-95, the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), US-1 and Florida’s Turnpike carry some of the heaviest traffic in the state, while tourists, rideshare drivers, pedestrians and cyclists share the same crowded streets.
Whether you were rear-ended on Biscayne Boulevard, hurt in a fall at a shopping center or struck while walking in Miami Beach, we can explain your rights under Florida law and deal with the insurance companies for you.
In-depth guides to the places and roads where Miami-Dade injuries happen most.
Every type of accident raises different questions about fault, insurance and evidence.
Rear-end, intersection and hit-and-run crashes, including PIP and uninsured-motorist claims.
Crosswalk and sidewalk injuries caused by drivers who failed to yield.
Uber and Lyft crashes, where available coverage depends on the driver’s app status.
Florida changed several key injury rules in 2023. Here’s what they mean for you.
Most Florida negligence claims must be filed within two years of the injury for accidents on or after March 24, 2023. Wrongful death claims also have a two-year limit. Waiting too long can end your case before it starts.
Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you can’t recover damages; otherwise your award is reduced by your share of fault. Insurers use this rule to shift blame, so evidence matters.
After a car crash, your own Personal Injury Protection covers up to $10,000 in medical bills and lost wages. To claim pain and suffering from the at-fault driver, you generally need a serious or permanent injury.
This is general information, not legal advice.
Yes. Our office is in Hallandale Beach, just across the Miami-Dade line, and we represent injured people throughout Miami-Dade County, including Miami, Miami Beach, Aventura, North Miami Beach and Doral. If you can’t come to us, we can meet you at home or in the hospital.
For most negligence claims from accidents on or after March 24, 2023, Florida allows two years to file a lawsuit. Claims against government agencies have special notice requirements, so it’s best to call as soon as possible.
You can still recover in Florida as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, which is why gathering evidence early matters.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so we’re paid only if we recover money for you, and the first consultation is free.
Tell us what happened. We’ll explain your options in plain English — free, with no obligation, and no fee unless we win.
