The wrongdoer in an injury claim may be an individual, a corporation, a small business, or a professional. Our personal injury attorneys have assisted numerous clients by thoroughly investigating the causes of their accidents and injuries, identifying all responsible parties, and seeking compensation from all wrongdoers and their insurers. Any person, corporation, or combination of parties can be negligent if they breach their duty of care to others.
Negligence does not require culpable intent. The conduct that caused the harm only must fall below the level of care a reasonable person would use under like circumstances. The nature and extent of the duty owed depends on the facts and circumstances our personal injury lawyers will analyze in every case.

Motorcycles are ingrained in American culture and are here to stay. Most riders are safety conscious and careful. Unfortunately too many motorists don't respect the motorcyclist's equal rights to use the roads and highways. Others simply don't keep a lookout for cycles, bikes, and pedestrians. Our Miami personal injury attorneys understand the laws that apply to motorcycles and have experience enforcing them when riders are injured because of someone else's negligence.
Catastrophic injury cases are very different from other cases. Finding enough financial responsibility to compensate injured parties for the lifelong consequences are always a challenge. Some law firms only look at initial insurance policy information to determine whether there is adequate insurance coverage. In car, auto, motorcycle accidents where there are serious to catastrophic injuries we always conduct a thorough investigation of the case facts to identify and pursue all potential parties. Our Miami injury attorneys explore all potential parties and investigate all viable legal theories before a final determination is made.
