Aventura Personal Injury Lawyer

Our Aventura Personal Injury Law Firm Accepts Many Types of Cases

Rosenberg & Rosenberg understands that personal injuries can and do happen in many different ways in Aventura. We are available to help the people of Miami-Dade County 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 29,816 traffic accident injuries in 2023. This number includes injuries from car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bike accidents, pedestrian accidents, and truck accidents.

Many crashes occur due to driver errors, such as drowsy driving, speeding, or failing to yield the right of way. They may happen anywhere in the city, including:

• On a quiet side street close to home
• On a major roadway, like Biscayne Boulevard or the William Lehman Causeway
• On or near property belonging to one of Aventura’s busy shopping centers

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

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 Slip and Fall Accidents

Whether you tripped or slipped and fell at a mall, a restaurant, or 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 identify which property or business owner, manager, renter, or lessee is responsible for your accident and hold them accountable.

Aventura Dog Bite Injuries

Under the Aventura Code of Ordinances Section 10-1(d), “all canines, when not on the premises of the owner or the person in control thereof, must be on a leash under control of a competent person.” This law protects both the dog (who might otherwise get lost or hit by a car) and the public (which has the right to move freely around the city without fearing an animal attack).

If you were the victim of an unprovoked dog bite, Rosenberg & Rosenberg is eager to help. One of our Aventura dog bite lawyers can seek compensation from the dog’s owner or caretaker.

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.

The Aventura workers’ compensation lawyers from our firm can guide you towards the right course of action. Unlike many other law firms, we handle both workers’ compensation claims and personal injury claims, so Rosenberg & Rosenberg is ready for whatever your case brings.

Steps Our Attorneys Follow When Fighting an Aventura Personal Injury Case

Your right to financial compensation depends on your ability to follow the proper rules and procedures for filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit. This can be difficult to do when you are still recovering from a traumatic accident. Our Aventura personal injury lawyers are here to help by:

• Giving you the chance to tell us your story and learn about your case’s merits through a free, no-risk phone call
• Collecting evidence that establishes the liable party’s identity and connects their negligence with your injuries
• Filing all necessary paperwork to start your case and keep it moving smoothly through the legal system
• Negotiating with the insurance company for a settlement that meets your past, present, and future needs
• Preparing to take your case to trial if necessary—but we maintain communications with the insurer as we attempt to reach a fair settlement
• Representing you in the courtroom and working hard to convince the jury to award you just compensation

In the past, our efforts have led to case results like these:

• $4.65 million for a client who suffered permanent brain damage in a pedestrian accident
• $1 million for a workers’ compensation client who was permanently paralyzed due to a work injury
• $1 million for a client who needed surgery after slipping and falling in a restaurant

You can trust our legal representatives to fight for the outcome that is right for you.

Do You Have to Take a Personal Injury Case to Trial?

In most cases, our legal team is able to resolve personal injury cases out of court by securing a pretrial settlement from the liable party’s insurer. We will review the entire settlement agreement with you so that you are comfortable with it before you sign.

A few cases do end up in court if, for example, the insurance company refuses to negotiate in good faith. When that happens, Rosenberg & Rosenberg will tell you which of Miami-Dade’s civil courts your case will be heard in and do all of the talking during the trial.

What Damages Can Personal Injury Survivors in Aventura Recover?

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
• If you are more than 50 percent at fault, you cannot collect compensation

This law makes it very important that you build a strong case before seeking compensation. Our Aventura 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. In most cases involving negligence-related accidents, 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 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 accident 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 unreasonable or reckless behaviors 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 Our Personal Injury Attorneys in Aventura Can Collect

Your legal team 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., accident scene photos or repair bills), Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s Aventura personal injury lawyers can build a strong case file on your behalf. This allows you to recuperate in peace, knowing that we are taking care of everything.

What Should You Do After Your Accident in Aventura, Florida?

The actions you take—and the ones you do not—following your personal injury can make a big difference in how your legal case goes and how much compensation you end up recovering. For example:

• Getting proper medical care can ensure your safety. It also creates a medical record that our lawyers in Aventura can use to prove to the insurance company that you are taking your injuries seriously.

• Reporting your accident to the proper authorities shows that the accident really happened when and where you claim. Who you report to depends on what kind of accident you were in: many accident victims should call the Aventura Police Department, while slip and fall victims should speak to the property owner or manager.

• Hiring a personal injury lawyer allows you to learn about and protect your rights.

• Saying nothing to the insurance companies before you consult with us prevents insurance adjusters from undermining your case or paying you less than you deserve.

Rosenberg & Rosenberg employs staff who speak Spanish and Creole so we can more easily assist the people in our community.
