Coral Gables Personal Injury Attorney
Experienced Injury Attorneys Serving the City Beautiful
Coral Gables is one of Miami-Dade's most prestigious municipalities — home to the University of Miami, the Biltmore Hotel, Miracle Mile, and a concentration of corporate headquarters and medical facilities. Its tree-lined boulevards and roundabouts also create unique traffic hazards, and its luxury hotels and restaurants carry significant premises liability exposure.
Juan Cordero Lawyers has represented injured clients from Coral Gables since 1999. We handle car accident cases on US-1 and Ponce de Leon Boulevard, slip and fall claims at hotels and restaurants, negligent security cases at commercial properties, and wrongful death claims for families who have lost loved ones due to negligence.
We handle all cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win. Call or text us 24/7 at 305.525.8957.
Coral Gables Injury Risks: What We See in This Community
US-1 (South Dixie Highway) through Coral Gables is a high-speed, high-volume corridor with frequent rear-end collisions, left-turn crashes at Miracle Mile and Salzedo Street, and pedestrian accidents near the University of Miami campus. The Coral Gables roundabout system, while aesthetically pleasing, creates confusion for unfamiliar drivers and contributes to intersection crashes.
Coral Gables' luxury hospitality sector — the Biltmore, the Coral Gables Hotel, and dozens of upscale restaurants — creates significant slip and fall exposure. Marble and tile floors, pool decks, valet areas, and banquet facilities are common injury sites. These properties typically carry large commercial liability policies, and their insurers aggressively defend claims.
The concentration of medical facilities in Coral Gables — including Baptist Health South Florida and University of Miami Health System — means we regularly handle medical malpractice claims arising from care provided in this area. These cases require specialized expertise and we have it.

Frequently Asked Questions — Coral Gables Injury Claims
What are the most common injury accidents in Coral Gables?
Coral Gables injury claims most commonly arise from car accidents on US-1 (South Dixie Highway) and Miracle Mile, pedestrian knockdowns near the University of Miami campus and Merrick Park, slip and falls at luxury hotels (Biltmore, Coral Gables Hotel), restaurants, and retail centers, and medical negligence at Baptist Health South Florida and University of Miami Health System facilities. Juan Cordero Lawyers handles all of these case types.
Can I sue a Coral Gables hotel or restaurant if I was injured on their property?
Yes. Hotels, restaurants, and retail establishments in Coral Gables owe a duty of reasonable care to guests and customers. If a dangerous condition — wet floor, broken step, inadequate lighting, defective elevator — caused your injury and the property owner knew or should have known about it, you may have a premises liability claim. We offer free case evaluations and handle all cases on contingency.
I was injured at a Coral Gables hotel, restaurant, or retail center. Can I sue?
Yes. Property owners in Coral Gables — including luxury hotels like the Biltmore, restaurants on Miracle Mile, and retail centers at Merrick Park — have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. Slip and falls, inadequate security, and negligent maintenance are all compensable if the property owner failed to meet that duty. Call Juan Cordero Lawyers for a free evaluation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Coral Gables / Miami-Dade?
Most personal injury claims have a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident under Florida's 2023 tort reform (§95.11(3)(a)). Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years of the date of death. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim — contact us immediately.
