Building Collapse Injuries: The June 2021 collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida is a tragic reminder of how dangerous a building collapse can be. Too many lives are destroyed when companies and organizations fail to take proper care to maintain a building. Our South Florida building collapse attorneys help victims and their families fight for justice, accountability, and compensation for their damages.
Medical malpractice: When the birth of a child turns into a nightmare because of the mistake of a health care professional, when a surgeon performs an improper procedure, when a doctor misdiagnoses a serious illness, when a nurse administers the wrong drug or dosage, or in any other instance of doctor error, hospital negligence, or medical mistake, we can help.
Car accidents: It only takes one second to permanently change someone’s life. In a split second, a distracted driver, drunk driver, reckless driver, or driver who violates a traffic law can cause serious or even fatal injuries. At Freidin Brown, P.A., we can help you fight for the compensation you need and deserve if you have been injured in a serious car accident.
Trucking accidents: Unsecured cargo, overloaded trucks, and fatigued and poorly trained truck drivers make Florida roadways dangerous for everyone else. Pursuing a truck accident claim requires a lawyer who is experienced in handling claims against insurance companies, trucking companies, and federal regulators. After a truck accident, you need our firm.
Defective products: Product designers, manufacturers, and sellers have a duty to deliver products that are safe for consumers to use. When they fail to do so, our lawyers can help hold them accountable through a product liability lawsuit. Whether you were injured by a dangerous drug, a defective auto part, or a hazardous household appliance, we can help.
Premises liability: In Florida, property owners are responsible for providing a reasonably safe environment for their visitors. If they fail to keep their premises safe, and someone is injured as a result, they can be held accountable through a premises liability lawsuit. Whether you were injured in a slip and fall accident or a dog attack, our firm can help you seek justice.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Case in Florida?

To file a personal injury lawsuit, a plaintiff must act before the statutory deadline. In Florida, most personal injury claims are governed by a four year statute of limitations—meaning any lawsuit must be filed within four years of the accident. However, there are exceptions: Medical malpractice claims, wrongful death cases, and certain types of product liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations.

Personal Injury Tip: Be proactive. You do not want to wait until the statute of limitations is approaching to get started with your case. Defendants and insurers typically get started building their side of the case right away. Call an experienced Miami, FL personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident.

What to Know About Personal Injury Liability in Florida

In Florida, most personal injury claims are based on negligence cases. Though, there are a few limited exceptions. For example, some relatively minor car accident claims may fall under the state’s no-fault insurance regulations.

Negligence is the failure to take due care. A party is negligent when their unreasonably careless or reckless conduct causes an accident that results in harm to another person. As Florida is a comparative negligence state, each party to an accident can be held legally responsible for their “share” of the blame.

If you were involved in a major accident in Miami, it is essential that you seek professional representation. Your accident should be comprehensively investigated by an experienced Miami, FL personal injury lawyer. An attorney will be able gather the evidence that you need to bring a claim.

You Deserve Full and Fair Financial Compensation for Your Injuries

Following a serious accident, you need money to pay bills and support yourself and your family members. In Florida, injured victims can hold the at-fault party liable for the complete value of their damages—meaning you can pursue compensation for out-of-pocket expenses and intangible losses. Unfortunately, getting personal injury compensation is rarely easy. Large corporations and insurance companies are primarily interested in protecting their profits. They will try to resolve your personal injury case for as little as possible. At Freidin Brown, P.A., our Miami personal injury attorneys are aggressive, results-driven advocates for victims and their families.

Florida Personal Injury Video FAQs

How long do I have to bring a lawsuit against those who are legally responsible for my personal injuries?

Every case is subject to a statute of limitations. In the work we do, personal injury cases, most of the statute of limitations are four years. Medical malpractice statutes of limitations are two years with an ability to expand the time. Products liability are four years with an ability to expand the time. When I say that, use that phrase I talk about, an ability to extend the time because you did not discover the injury or it took a while to develop. Two years and four years are the primary time periods, and we’d much rather see a case earlier than later and then have to deal with that problem.

How long will it take for my Florida personal injury case to get to trial?

There’s no definitive answer on how long it’ll take to resolve your case. At Freidin Brown, we work aggressively to advocate on your behalf to try to bring a resolution. Whether it’s a settlement, through a mediated settlement, or a trial, arbitration if necessary, as quickly as possible. But the reality is, that most litigated cases take a minimum of a year, and complex medical malpractice cases can take several years.

How much will it cost to hire an attorney for my Florida personal injury case?

At Freidin Brown, we charge our clients on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if we win for you. So if we don’t make any recovery for you, you don’t owe us a dime.

How quickly should I contact an attorney after I was injured by another person?

If you were injured by another person, you should contact an attorney right away. The sooner that they are able to come into the case and represent you, they’ll be helping you navigate the process and make life a lot easier for you, but also represent your interests all the way through.

What can I recover if I win my Florida personal injury case?

The damages that are recoverable in these cases, assuming there’s collectability, are for pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of capacity to enjoy life, disability, disfigurement, for medical bills, for lost earnings, lost earning capacity, and any other incidental losses that you can prove are related to the injury.

What constitutes a personal injury case?

Personal injury cases when one wrongdoer injures another person, an innocent victim if you will, and that involves a gamut of things, including auto cases, premises liability, negligent security, medical malpractice. All sorts of things when someone injures someone, including intentional towards … or products liability cases where a product fails to be safe and damages someone. There’s just a wide range of types of personal injury cases.

What if a person dies before bringing a personal injury lawsuit?

That raises two scenarios. One is if the person dies as a result of the negligent act in question. Say for example medical malpractice and they die later on, it becomes a wrongful death case and it’s brought by the family through a personal representative. The second scenario is that person dies from a cause completely different than what was the initial injury and that becomes what’s called a survival action and again the personal representative of the state will bring it on behalf of the person who died and that money would go to their estate.

What is my personal injury case worth?

We get that question in all our cases. What is the case worth?

In the beginning, we don’t know what it’s worth, because we don’t know all the facts. But when we learn the facts, we’re looking for, how clear is the case against the other party? We’re looking at, how serious is the damage? We’re looking at how closely we can connect the damage to the wrongful act. In other words, if it’s tenuous or very clear. And then, finally, we’re looking for, how are we going to collect it?

It’s impossible to answer those questions early on until you have that information. In our firm, once we start collecting that information, we give the clients a very full and frank discussion of what we think the case is worth. But we rarely tell them what we think it’s worth in the very beginning because we don’t have enough information.

What kinds of fees are associated with personal injury lawsuits?

Our cases are all contingency fees, meaning we take a percentage of the recovery if and when we win, and we do not charge anything if there is no recovery.

Why is it important to hire a Board Certified trial lawyer?

The main reason is, if you’re going to litigate and you’re going to go to court, you want an attorney with you that has experience. And in order to be a Board Certified civil trial lawyer, one of the requirements is that you have a large number of civil jury trials before you can be admitted, and there is no substitution for experience when you’re in court.

Who should I talk to after an accident?
How should I document an accident or incident that has resulted in serious personal injury to myself or a loved one?
