How does Florida’s 50% comparative negligence rule affect my case?

Florida's modified comparative negligence law prohibits an injured individual from recovering financial compensation if a court determines that person holds more than 50% of the fault for the collision.

Our civil trial team represents crash victims across Kendall, Doral, and Pinecrest. Before this statutory change, Florida followed a pure comparative fault standard. Claimants could recover a portion of their damages regardless of their level of fault.

Under the current legal standard, proving that the opposing negligent party holds primary liability is essential. Gathering physical evidence, witness statements, and accident reconstruction reports helps ensure the responsible party retains majority fault.

Can an injured person make a claim directly against ride-sharing companies like Uber, Lyft, or Uber Eats in Florida?

No, individuals generally cannot file a claim directly against the ride-sharing companies because Florida statutes grant specific corporate immunity to these entities.

Florida law requires rideshare drivers to carry up to $1,000,000 in liability insurance coverage under specific conditions.

Available coverage limits depend on the driver's status at the time of the crash. Insurance requirements vary based on whether the application was active, whether the driver was en route to pick up a passenger, or whether a rider was inside the vehicle.

Determining liability requires a detailed investigation into the facts surrounding the collision. An individual needs legal representation capable of analyzing digital application data and policy terms to seek financial recovery.

How will the recent United States Supreme Court decision impact ongoing defective product claims?

The United States Supreme Court decided in a 7-to-2 ruling that federal law preempts state-law claims seeking cancer warnings on product labels when federal regulators approved labeling without those warnings. While this ruling limits specific failure-to-warn lawsuits, it does not stop claims based on defective design or negligent testing.

Our dedicated trial attorneys closely monitor changing federal standards to protect injured individuals. Read our latest blog post to understand how this precedent affects product liability claims.

What happens after I hire a personal injury lawyer in Miami?

After hiring an attorney, the legal firm immediately schedules an initial strategy conference in person or via video link to discuss the claim.

The legal team begins gathering vital documentation following this initial meeting. Paralegals and investigators collect police accident reports, medical records, billing statements, and witness accounts.

Completing this preparation enables the legal team to draft and file a lawsuit built on verified evidence. Proper case preparation ensures the firm can litigate the claim effectively to pursue appropriate financial recoveries.

¿Es responsable un complejo de apartamentos en Miami por actos delictivos ocurridos en su propiedad?

Sí, un complejo de apartamentos puede responder civilmente por los daños generados por actos criminales en su propiedad si la administración no implementa medidas de seguridad razonables.

Los propietarios de inmuebles deben mantener condiciones razonablemente seguras para los residentes y visitantes. Según las características del lugar, las medidas preventivas pueden incluir iluminación adecuada, cámaras de vigilancia o personal de seguridad.

Para establecer la responsabilidad civil del establecimiento, una persona lesionada debe probar la existencia de una condición peligrosa. Además, la víctima debe demostrar que la empresa propietaria sabía o debía saber sobre el riesgo de dichas acciones criminales y omitió medidas preventivas.
