Slip & Fall claims in Miami

Grocery aisles, hotel lobbies off Collins Avenue, the tile at Dadeland after a storm pushes water through the doors. A premises claim is not a crash claim, and PIP has nothing to do with it. What generally matters is whether the business knew about the hazard or should have known, which is why the incident report, the manager who wrote it, and the question of how long that spill sat there carry most of the file. Ask for a copy before you leave. Photograph the floor from where you fell, not from the doorway. Shoes too. Two years is the window, and it started the day you went down.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report after a wreck in Miami?

It depends on who worked the scene. City streets are usually Miami Police; I-95, SR-836, and the Palmetto are usually Florida Highway Patrol. Either way the report ends up with FLHSMV, and you can ask for a copy through the state's crash portal or straight from the agency that wrote it, which is usually the faster route in the first days after a crash.

Which court would handle an injury case filed in Miami?

Miami-Dade County. Civil claims are filed at the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, and the trial court there is the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Smaller claims are handled in county court and larger ones in circuit court; which side of that line your claim falls on depends on the amount, and that's a question for a lawyer, not for us. We are not a law firm.

The driver who hit me had no insurance. What happens now?

Your own PIP still pays first, $10,000 of it, regardless of fault. After that, uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy is often the next place to look, and it's worth checking, because people carry it without realizing they do. Pull your declarations page. An attorney can read the policy and tell you what's actually there.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Reduced from 4 to 2 years by HB 837 (2023). Wrongful death 2 years. Medical 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
