Practice Areas

• Bicycle Accidents
  Bicycle crash claims involving drivers who fail to yield, dooring incidents and unsafe roadway conditions. Florida law grants cyclists the rights and duties of vehicle operators under Fla. Stat. § 316.2065. See the firm's bicycle accident page.
• Boating accidents
  Boating collision and passenger injury claims on Florida waters, including operator negligence, overloading and failure to carry required safety equipment. Boating claims may fall under state law or federal maritime law depending on where the incident occurred.
• Burn Injuries
  Burn injury claims arising from crashes, defective products, electrical failures and unsafe premises conditions. Severe burns involve staged reconstructive surgery over years, which makes premature settlement a significant risk.
• Car Accidents
  Car accident claims across Miami-Dade, Broward and statewide Florida. Florida's PIP statute, Fla. Stat. § 627.736, requires initial medical treatment within 14 days of a crash to access benefits. See the firm's car accident page.
• Catastrophic Injury
  Catastrophic injury claims involving traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, severe burns and amputation. These cases require life care planning and economic modeling to document future medical needs and lost earning capacity rather than past bills alone. Review recent case results.
• Construction Accidents
  Construction site injury claims involving falls from height, struck-by incidents, crane and scaffolding failures and defective equipment. Third-party liability claims against general contractors, subcontractors and equipment manufacturers proceed separately from any workers' compensation benefits. See the firm's construction accident page.
• Drunk Driving Accidents
  Drunk driving crash claims brought on behalf of injured people and surviving families. Florida's dram shop statute, Fla. Stat. § 768.125, permits claims against a vendor who knowingly served a habitually addicted person or anyone under 21, which can open a second source of recovery beyond the impaired driver's policy limits.
• Maritime
  Maritime and cruise ship injury claims arising from PortMiami and Florida waters, including passenger injuries, boating collisions and jet ski accidents. Maritime claims carry shortened contractual filing deadlines and forum selection clauses printed on the passenger ticket that differ sharply from standard Florida deadlines. See the firm's cruise ship and boating injury page.
• Motorcycle Accident
  Motorcycle crash claims across Florida. Motorcyclists are not covered by Florida's PIP framework the way drivers are, which changes how medical treatment gets paid for and makes liability coverage central from the first day. Learn more about motorcycle accident claims.
• Pedestrian Accidents
  Pedestrian injury claims involving crosswalk collisions, parking lot incidents and hit-and-run crashes. Pedestrian cases often turn on uninsured motorist coverage the injured person did not realize applied to them. See the firm's pedestrian accident page.
• Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs

  Personal injury representation for injured people and surviving families throughout Florida. Founding partner Eric J. Mausner is a former Miami-Dade County prosecutor, and the firm prepares each case for trial rather than for a quick settlement. Review the types of cases we handle.

• Premises Liability
  Premises liability claims involving dangerous property conditions, inadequate maintenance and unsafe walkways at stores, restaurants, hotels and apartment complexes throughout Florida. Surveillance footage at most Miami businesses is overwritten within 30 days, so evidence preservation cannot wait. See the firm's premises liability page.
• Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs
  Product liability claims involving defective design, manufacturing defects and inadequate warnings. These cases turn on design history, testing records and what the manufacturer knew about prior failures. Learn more about product liability claims.
• Rear-End Collision Accidents
  Rear-end collision claims across Florida. The rear driver is presumed negligent under Florida law, but that presumption can be rebutted by sudden unexpected stops, mechanical failure or a chain-reaction impact, which is why crash reconstruction matters in multi-vehicle collisions.
• Rideshare / Lyft & Uber Accidents
  Uber and Lyft accident claims involving passengers, other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Coverage depends on which phase of the ride the driver was in at the moment of the crash, which determines whether the platform's commercial policy applies. Learn more about Uber and Lyft accident claims.
• Security Negligence
  Negligent security claims against apartment complexes, bars, hotels, parking garages and event venues where inadequate lighting, broken access controls or absent security personnel created the conditions for an assault. Prior criminal activity at or near the property is often central to proving foreseeability. See the firm's negligent security page.
• Sexual Assault
  Civil sexual assault and harassment claims brought on behalf of survivors against the individuals and businesses whose negligence created the opportunity for harm, including hotels, short-term rental operators and property owners. These civil claims proceed independently of any criminal prosecution. Learn more about civil sexual assault claims.
• Slip and Fall

  Slip and fall claims against business establishments fall under Fla. Stat. § 768.0755, which requires proof the property owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the hazardous condition. Constructive knowledge is usually established through the length of time the hazard existed or a pattern of recurring conditions. Read about average slip and fall settlement amounts in Florida.

• Spinal Cord Injury
  Spinal cord injury claims involving herniation, fusion surgery, partial paralysis and permanent mobility loss. These cases require future care modeling rather than a tally of past medical bills.
• Traumatic Brain Injury
  Traumatic brain injury claims arising from crashes, falls and assaults. Mild TBI is frequently missed in emergency room records because imaging appears normal, and documenting cognitive and behavioral changes through treating providers and family witnesses is often what establishes the severity of the injury.
• Truck Accidents
  Commercial trucking claims involving 18-wheelers, delivery vehicles and Amazon contractor fleets. These cases require immediate preservation of electronic logging device data and carrier maintenance records before routine retention periods expire. See the firm's truck accident page.
• Wrongful Death
  Wrongful death claims brought under Florida's Wrongful Death Act, Fla. Stat. § 768.16 through § 768.26. Claims must be brought by the personal representative of the estate on behalf of surviving family members, which makes early probate coordination part of the case. See the firm's wrongful death page.
