Workplace Injuries claims in Miami

Hotel housekeeping on Miami Beach, kitchen lines in Little Havana, warehouse floors in Doral and Allapattah. The work that keeps this county running is hard on backs, shoulders, and hands. Workers' compensation is usually the first path after an injury on the job, and it generally pays without anyone proving fault, which is the trade, because it also limits what you can bring against the company that signs your checks. A third party is sometimes in the middle of it. A delivery driver, a subcontractor, the outfit that serviced the machine. Report it the day it happens. Say it in the language you think in.

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.
