CAR ACCIDENTS
Vehicle accidents are the most common type of personal injury and wrongful death cases in Florida. They are usually caused by someone being negligent or reckless behind the wheel. Common allegations we see are improper lane changes, careless driving, reckless driving, failing to keep a proper lookout, driving too fast for conditions, failing to perceive hazards, disobeying traffic signals and laws and driving under the influence.
CRUISE SHIP INJURIES
Cruise lines, such as Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Celebrity Cruise Lines, Carnival Corporation and Norwegian Cruise Lines are headquartered in Miami, Florida. Most passengers do not realize that the cruise ticket they buy from those big companies is a contract for carriage. The fine print in ticket contract governs where the passenger can bring a lawsuit, called a venue provision. Most lawsuits against the Cruise lines are required to be brought in Federal District Court.
CRUISE SHIP RAPE & ASSAULT

SLIPS, TRIPS & FALLS
Slip and falls, and trip and falls, on someone else’s property that result in serious injury are called premises liability cases. A property owner or person or entity in control of the property may be held financially responsible for those injuries occurring on the property that are due to a dangerous condition. The key issue that a Miami slip and fall lawyer is looking to prove is that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.
