Personal Injury Lawyer in Miami, FL

If someone else's carelessness caused your injury, you may have a case. The legal standard is negligence: did the other party have a responsibility to act safely, did they fail to meet it, and did that failure directly cause your harm? The best way to find out is a free consultation with an attorney. Goldberg & Rosen will give you an honest answer at no cost.

For most personal injury claims, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the injury under Florida Statute Section 95.11. There are exceptions, including shorter windows when a government entity or a cruise line is involved. Waiting too long can result in lost evidence and your ability to access the court system. Don't sit on your claim.

Four things: the other party had a duty to act with reasonable care, they breached that duty, their breach caused your injury, and you suffered real harm as a result. Every element has to be proven. That's why evidence, witnesses, and expert testimony matter so much. The strength of your case is built long before you ever get to a courtroom.

A settlement is an agreement reached between the parties before a judge or jury decides the outcome. Trials put the decision in the jury's hands. Settlements are faster and certain; trials carry more risk but can result in larger awards. Goldberg & Rosen pursues every case with trial preparation from day one, which consistently produces better settlement offers. But if the other side won't pay what the case is worth, the firm goes to trial.

Florida's modified comparative negligence law means you can still recover as long as you're not more than 50% responsible. Your award gets reduced by whatever percentage of fault is assigned to you. But insurance companies and defense attorneys work aggressively to push that number up. Having a trial-tested firm in your corner is how you keep it honest.

Technically, yes. In practice, injured people who negotiate directly with insurance companies almost always recover less than those represented by counsel. Insurers have experienced adjusters and defense attorneys whose job is to minimize payouts. Goldberg & Rosen levels that playing field. There are no upfront costs, so there's no financial reason to go it alone.

Nothing upfront. The firm works on contingency, meaning there are no fees unless they recover for you. Their interests and yours are aligned from the first phone call.

Some cases settle in months. Others, especially those involving catastrophic injuries or insurance companies fighting every step of the way, can take years. Goldberg & Rosen doesn't drag cases out, but they won't rush into a bad settlement either. Every case is prepared for trial, which tends to be the fastest path to a fair resolution.

Most cases settle before trial. But Goldberg & Rosen's reputation in the courtroom is one of the reasons insurers take their cases seriously. When the other side knows the firm will actually try the case, the settlement offers tend to look very different. If court is necessary, the firm is ready.
