Our Aventura Law Firm Accepts Many Personal Injury Case Types

Rosenberg & Rosenberg understands that personal injuries can and do happen in many different ways in Aventura. We are available to help people in Miami-Dade County and throughout South Florida with a wide variety of complex case types, including:

Aventura Motor Vehicle Accidents

Per Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), Miami-Dade County saw 28,276 traffic accident injuries in 2022. Many of these crashes occur due to driver errors, such as drowsy driving, speeding, or failing to yield the right of way. They may happen on a quiet side street close to home or on a major roadway, like Biscayne Boulevard or the William Lehman Causeway.

The Aventura car accident lawyers from our firm can find proof of the negligent driver’s liability. Alternatively, we may build a case against a car part manufacturer or even the Aventura Public Works/Transportation Department, which is responsible for maintaining traffic lights, signs, and roads.

Aventura Medical Malpractice Incidents

Every medical professional you go to—from small independent providers to large facilities like HCA Florida Aventura Hospital—has a duty to provide reasonable and competent medical care. Events like a misdiagnosis, a medication error, or even a surgical error could all entitle you to compensation.

Our Aventura medical malpractice attorneys can help you decide whether to sue an individual provider or an entire healthcare institution.

Aventura Product Liability Incidents

When you buy a product, you trust that the manufacturer used safe materials, ran quality assurance tests, and included accurate instructions and warnings on the label. If a manufacturer violated your trust by failing to take these measures, our Aventura product liability attorneys can hold even a large corporation accountable for your injuries.

Aventura Slip and Fall Accidents

Whether you tripped or slipped and fell at a store like the ones in the Aventura Mall, at a restaurant, or at one of the city’s marinas, you can seek compensation from the property owner or manager for failing to address common hazards by:

• Cleaning up spills
• Posting warning signs
• Keeping walkways clean and in good condition

Our Aventura slip and fall attorneys can help you find which property or business owner, manager, renter, or lessee is responsible for your accident and hold them accountable.

Aventura Workplace Injury Accidents

Most Florida employers are required to provide workers’ compensation insurance for employees who are injured while doing their jobs. If they do not provide such insurance or if a negligent third party was involved, you could also file a lawsuit.

No matter what your case brings, the Aventura workers’ compensation lawyers from our firm can guide you towards the right course of action.

What Damages Are Available for Personal Injury Survivors in Aventura?

The types and amounts of compensation you are eligible for depend on the following factors:

How Much Money You Lost in the Personal Injury Accident

For example, the longer you stay home from work, the more wages you will lose, and the more Rosenberg & Rosenberg can seek for lost income from the liable party.

In addition to lost wages, you could be reimbursed for:

• Loss of job benefits
• Loss of earning capacity
• Medical expenses
• Property damage or loss
• The cost of goods or services you would not have normally needed

How Serious Your Personal Injuries Are

Again, the more losses you suffered, the more compensation our personal injury lawyers in Aventura could potentially recover for you. Your losses could take the form of:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress or trauma
• Physical or intellectual disability
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of quality of life
• Scarring or disfigurement

How Much Fault You Bear for Your Injury

The state of Florida follows what is called a modified comparative negligence law. Codified at Florida Statutes § 768.81, this law stipulates that:

• You can still sue if you are partly responsible for your accident
• The amount of compensation you receive decreases as your percentage of fault increases
• You are barred from collecting compensation if you are more than 50 percent at fault

This law makes it very important that you build a strong case before seeking compensation. Our Aventura personal injury attorneys can prove you were minimally liable or not liable at all.

What Is Florida’s Personal Injury Statute of Limitations?

A statute of limitations is a law that gives injured parties a deadline to file a legal action. If you were injured in a negligence-related accident, your deadline is two years from the accident date, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11.

What the Statute of Limitations Means for Your Personal Injury Case

If you take prompt action, our personal injury law firm in Aventura can file your case within the legal deadline and fight for all of the money your family deserves. Missing this deadline or delaying the start of your claim unnecessarily can lead to:

• The court dismissing your case without granting you any compensation
• Less evidence being available to support your case
• The insurance company using the delay as proof that your injuries were not that serious

Rosenberg & Rosenberg was founded on the principle that there is nothing more important than working hard to serve our community and help others. That means holding negligent parties accountable for the harm they do. Call today to learn about your case’s merits at no cost or obligation to you.

How We Prove Negligence Played a Role in Your Accident Injury

For your case to succeed, our Aventura personal injury attorneys have to find evidence that the four elements of negligence apply to your case. These elements are as follows:

• Duty of care: This means the liable party had a legal responsibility to avoid irresponsible behavior that could put others at risk.
• Breach of duty: By behaving negligently, the liable party did not fulfill their duty of care towards you and others in the community.
• Causation: The at-fault party’s negligent behavior was the sole or primary cause of your accident. The event would not have happened if they had behaved reasonably.
• Damages and injuries: Everything you have suffered since the accident, including bodily injuries and financial losses, can be traced back to the negligence-related accident.

Evidence We Can Collect in Your Personal Injury Case

Your legal team at Rosenberg & Rosenberg can prove the elements of negligence by collecting and analyzing materials from a variety of sources, including:

• The official police report from the Aventura Police Department
• Photos or videos of the accident or its aftermath
• Statements from everyone who saw or was involved in the accident, including you, the at-fault party, and witnesses
• Expert statements that speak to the severity of your physical, professional, or financial losses
• Black box information from vehicles involved in a traffic accident, if available
• Relevant complaints or legal actions made against the at-fault party

You do not have to concern yourself with gathering all of these materials by yourself. While we do ask clients if they have any information that might help (e.g., medical or repair bills), our accident injury lawyers can build a strong casefile on your behalf. This allows you to recuperate in peace, knowing that we are taking care of everything.
