What to Do After An Accident?

If you’ve been hurt in Miami, stay calm and follow the steps below.

1. Get medical care today
   Even if you feel “okay,” get checked. Tell the provider every body part that hurts. Keep discharge papers and follow doctor’s orders.
2. Photograph everything
   Take wide and close-up photos of injuries, vehicles, scene hazards, weather/lighting, and any visible cameras. Save videos and dashcam/phone footage.
3. Save documents & receipts
   Collect medical bills, prescriptions, copays, rides/parking, repair estimates, pay stubs, time-off notes, and anything that proves costs or lost wages.
4. Don’t talk to insurers (yet)
   Decline recorded statements and settlement offers until you have counsel. A polite “I’m seeking representation” protects your claim.
5. Call or text the experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible 
   An attorney can help to secure evidence, handle the insurer, help with doctors and transportation, and protect deadlines. 

Types of Personal Injury Cases

In 2024 alone, Miami-Dade County recorded 19,626 injury crashes, leading to a staggering 29,350 reported injuries. At Steinger, Greene & Feiner, our legal team has ample experience navigating various types of personal injury cases in Miami such as:

Auto Accidents

Heavy rain, flooding, and congested corridors like I-95/US-1 lead to pileups and rear-ends. We document fault, coordinate care, and pursue damages for medical bills, lost wages, and your vehicle.

Truck Accidents

Freight traffic around ports, warehouses, and expressways means multi-party claims (driver, carrier, broker, manufacturer). We secure logs, black-box data, and policies to build leverage fast.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents often involve collisions with motor vehicles or unsafe road conditions. In Miami, where cycling is popular but often contested with heavy traffic, victims may suffer significant injuries and may be entitled to compensation for their damages.

Motorcycle Accidents

Causeways, blind merges, and distracted drivers put riders at risk. We move quickly on roadway evidence, helmet/gear issues, and liability to seek full compensation for serious injuries.

Pedestrian Accidents

Busy intersections, turning vehicles, and poor visibility put walkers at risk. We move quickly to preserve camera footage, witness statements, and signal/phasing data and pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Boating or Maritime Cases

PortMiami is the world’s cruise hub. Short notice deadlines and forum clauses apply. We handle shipboard, excursion, and gangway claims under maritime rules and contract limits.

Social Security Disability

If you suffer from a disabling condition that prevents you from working, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. These claims involve complex interactions with federal regulations and require careful preparation and documentation.

Property Damage

Wind, flood, and water claims can stall. We document the loss, handle carrier pushback, and pursue payment for repairs, ALE, and code-upgrade costs.

Slip-and-Falls

High-tourism zones—South Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, malls, hotels—see spills, poor lighting, and uneven surfaces. We preserve surveillance, inspection records, and notices to prove property negligence.

People often assume that slip-and-fall lawsuits are relatively straightforward, yet that’s not always the case. Sometimes accident victims experience the symptoms of their injuries days or weeks after the incident, which can complicate the case.

Workers’ Compensation

Quite often, workers get workplace injuries. In Miami, the common areas for these accidents are in construction, hospitality, and healthcare. We help with benefits, treatment approvals, and third-party claims when another company shares fault.

Defective Products

From auto parts to household devices, we trace design/manufacturing defects and go after all responsible parties to protect consumers. 

Medical Malpractice

Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and birth injuries require deep medical review. We manage experts, records, and Florida’s pre-suit steps while you focus on recovery.

At Steinger, Greene & Feiner, we are committed to providing expert legal representation across these diverse personal injury cases, ensuring that our clients receive the compensation they deserve.

Personal Injury Law in Florida

Personal injury claims seek compensation when another party’s negligence causes harm such as physical injuries, property losses, or other damages. Two core Florida rules shape these cases: comparative negligence (how fault is split) and the statute of limitations (your deadline to file).

Statute of Limitations for Filing Claims as of 2024

As of 2024, in Florida, the statute of limitations for injury claims is two years from the date of the injury or the date when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered (Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a)). For medical malpractice cases, Florida Statute mandates a pre-suit investigation and requires a notice of intent to file a claim. The statute of limitations is also two years from the date of the incident or discovery, with a maximum of four years from the incident date.

Florida’s Comparative Negligence Rule

Florida now uses modified comparative negligence in most negligence cases: if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. (This change came with HB 837 and is codified in §768.81, Fla. Stat.; note that medical malpractice is treated separately.)

Additional Laws and Regulations in Miami

• No-Fault Insurance: Florida’s no-fault insurance law (Florida Statute § 627.736) requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance to cover their injuries regardless of fault. This law impacts the filing of claims for vehicle accidents but allows for personal injury lawsuits if serious injuries are involved.
• Punitive Damages: Florida Statute limits punitive damages in personal injury accidents. The cap on punitive damages is set at $500,000 or three times the amount of compensatory damages, whichever is greater, for cases involving gross negligence.
• Wrongful Death Claims: Governed by Florida Statute, wrongful death claims allow the deceased’s estate to seek damages for lost support, companionship, and other impacts of the death. The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is two years from the date of death.

Deadlines and fault rules can decide a case before it starts. We step in early to protect evidence, track your exact filing window, and position your claim under the current 2-year clock and the 51% bar. If you were hurt in Miami, call or text us 24/7, and we’ll confirm your timeline and next steps today.

The Personal Injury Claim Process

We at Steinger, Greene & Feiner understand that the personal injury claims process can be complex and confusing for many people. The general steps include:

1. The Gathering of Evidence: Immediately following an accident, you should collect as much evidence as possible to support your future claim. Evidence can include witness statements, photographs, and medical reports of your injuries.
2. Consultation with a Personal Injury Attorney: You should contact an injury attorney after collecting evidence and seeking medical attention (if necessary). The legal professional will review your case details and help you explore your legal options. 
3. Determination of Liability: Your attorney will collect additional evidence through investigation to determine who is responsible for your damage as well as the extent of their liability. 
4. Calculation of Damages: Your lawyer will review your damages, including everything from property damage and medical bills to other relevant documentation. They’ll calculate the total damage and pursue that figure as compensation from the negligent party.
5. The Pursuit of a Settlement: Personal injury lawyers will seek a settlement from negligent parties and insurance companies. They’ll negotiate fair compensation on your behalf while ensuring your rights stay protected. 
6. The Filing of a Lawsuit: If neither party can agree on a favorable settlement, your trial attorney will file a lawsuit to take your dispute to trial.

There’s no way to know how long your personal injury case will take to settle or reach a court verdict. Most cases take 12 to 18 months or longer to conclude, from filing to settlement or verdict. Various factors contribute to the time it takes for a claim to be over, such as the extent and severity of your injuries and the willingness of the negligent party to reach a favorable settlement.

But it is crucial to be aware of the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury dispute in Florida, which is generally two years from the date of the injury. 

Throughout the entire claims process, your personal injury lawyer from Steinger, Greene & Feiner will be by your side, ensuring that you meet this deadline while fighting hard to protect your best interests and recover your damages. With our extensive experience in handling investigations, negotiating settlements, and navigating appellate proceedings, we are committed to guiding you every step of the way.

• Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery and potential future earnings if your injury impacts your long-term ability to work.
• Property Loss: Reimbursement for damage or destruction of personal property, such as vehicles, which is particularly relevant in Miami given the area’s susceptibility to weather-related incidents.
• Mental Anguish: Addresses emotional distress, anxiety, and psychological impact caused by the injury, supported by medical or psychological evaluations.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and discomfort, both immediate and ongoing, that affects your quality of life.
• Loss of Consortium: Covers the loss of companionship and support from a partner or spouse due to the injury.
• Future Earnings and Career Impact: Compensation for the impact on your future earning potential and career opportunities if the injury results in long-term disability.
• Disability Benefits: Includes potential compensation for Social Security Disability benefits if your injury qualifies you for these.
• Legal Fees and Costs: Reimbursement for expenses related to pursuing your claim, ensuring you are not financially burdened by legal costs.

The specific compensation awarded will depend on factors such as the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life. Our team at Steinger, Greene & Feiner is dedicated to thoroughly evaluating your case to secure the compensation you deserve. Call us today at for a free consultation.
