Miami Personal Injury & Accidents - What You Need to Know

Florida’s rapid legal transitions require localized, highly active representation. Lead-brokers are digital middlemen who sell your case details to the highest bidder without ever stepping foot in a Florida court. Karns & Karns manages your Miami claim directly using our own dedicated local trial infrastructure.

Florida’s transition from a PIP No-Fault system to a mandatory At-Fault Bodily Injury system means we target the negligent driver’s policy directly. High-volume billboard mills built for quick PIP filings are unequipped for this aggressive litigation model. Our trial-tested posture ensures you secure the maximum available recovery pool.

Florida drivers have a statutory duty to maintain safe operating speeds and functional tires for local weather conditions. “Rain” is not a legal excuse. We use forensic vehicle inspections to check the at-fault car’s tire tread and prove they were driving recklessly for the wet conditions.

Florida’s modified comparative negligence statute bars you from recovering anything if you are found 51% or more at fault. Insurance adjusters eagerly use brake-slamming narratives to push blame onto you. We use digital forensics and traffic camera feeds to keep the fault entirely on the driver who hit you.

Florida law requires injury victims to receive formal medical treatment within exactly 14 days of a crash. If you miss this rigid two-week window, you legally forfeit your primary insurance benefits, allowing adjusters to completely devalue your entire liability claim.

Recent corporate tort reform cut the deadline to file an injury lawsuit in half. You now have just two short years from the date of the crash to take legal action. This tighter window makes hiring a trial firm immediately essential to preserve your rights.

Commercial transit lines carry high-limit policies but deploy aggressive legal teams. We map the entire corporate liability chain immediately, bypassing low-level driver policies to target the deep-pocket parent corporations and cargo brokers.

Yes. We use private investigators and local surveillance to track down the fleeing driver. If they aren’t found, we can often secure a payout through your own uninsured motorist policy.

Report it to the police and seek medical help immediately. We hold rideshare platforms accountable for “negligent hiring” and failing to protect passengers from predatory drivers.

Florida’s “14-Day Rule” is strict. If you don’t see a doctor within two weeks of your crash, you lose your right to your insurance benefits entirely.

Under the new modified comparative negligence law, if you are 51% at fault, you get zero. This makes it vital to hire a trial attorney who can prove the other driver was the primary cause.

Yes. The shift toward mandatory $25,000 Bodily Injury (BI) coverage provides significantly more insurance money for victims compared to the old PIP-only limits.
