Experienced Lawyers Pursue Maximum Compensation on Behalf of Accident Victims Across South Florida

It’s often said that “accidents happen.” However, the truth is that most “accidents” are avoidable if everyone was a little more careful. If you’ve been injured due to another’s actions or inactions, you can bring Florida personal injury claim to recover for your accident-related expenses. At Friedman Rodman Frank & Estrada, we have assembled a dedicated team of Miami personal injury lawyers who help injury victims recover money damages for what they’ve been through. We have over 100 years of combined experience representing clients in a wide range of personal injury claims and have the skill, knowledge, and resources necessary to pursue claims against even the largest businesses and insurance companies.

Do I Have a Florida Personal Injury Case?

Florida law allows anyone injured in an accident to bring a claim against the negligent party responsible for causing the accident. While every type of case is different, most personal injury claims require you to prove four elements. First, you must show that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care. For example, all motorists owe people on the road a duty, businesses and other property owners owe a duty to their guests, and doctors owe their patient’s a duty of care.

Next, you will prove that the other party violated, or breached, the duty they owed to you. In some cases, this is common sense; however, that won’t always be the case. For example, a drunk driver who runs a red light and causes a DUI car accident is a pretty clear breach. On the other hand, a business that failed to repair a defective handrail that it didn’t know was defective may be a more challenging case to bring.

Once you prove the other party breached a duty, the next step is to show that their breach is what caused your injuries. Causation is a complex legal topic, but it can be boiled down to the following question: Did the other party’s actions cause or contribute to your injuries?

Finally, you need to prove that you suffered damages as a result of the other party’s negligence. Often, the real question in personal injury cases is not whether you suffered damages, but what is the extent of your damages? For example, did you incur medical bills or miss work due to the accident? Were you forced to miss out on family vacations or on coaching your child’s little league team? Do you suffer lingering pain, depression or anxiety because of the toll the accident took on your life?

If you can establish each of these elements, you may be able to recover financial compensation for your accident-related injuries.

Carolyn Frank and her firm represented me on a workers compensation injury case, under the defense base act. She did a excellent job from the moment I contacted her until 3 years later the case was settled. Every benefit I was entitled too, Carolyn fought hard to secure. E-mails and phone calls were always returned promptly. Definitely 5 star rating. Daniel

I can't express how grateful I am for Elizabeth Estrada, attorney, and Elizabeth Cantin, secretary, for all the hard work in order to defend me in my time of need. My lawyer and secretary spent time explaining each step and what was to be expected. Because of this I felt a part of the whole process and understood what was going on. Thank you so much for all your hard work!  Nicole D.

Attorney Elizabeth Estrada did an amazing job representing one of my family members. She is knowledgeable, genuine, trustworthy, and one of the most hard working attorneys that I know. She was readily available to assist my family member throughout the entire process. I felt confident my family was in great hands. Krystine C.
