Miami Beach's dense pedestrian and bicycle traffic creates frequent collision risks. Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians or cyclists can be held liable for serious injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions — Miami Beach Injury Claims
I was injured at a Miami Beach hotel — can I sue the hotel?
Yes. Hotels owe guests a duty of reasonable care. If you were injured due to a wet floor, broken furniture, inadequate lighting, a pool accident, or negligent security at a Miami Beach hotel, you may have a premises liability claim. You generally have 4 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit under Florida Statute §95.11(3)(a).
I was a tourist injured in Miami Beach — can I still file a lawsuit?
Yes. Tourists and visitors injured in Miami Beach have the same legal rights as Florida residents. Florida courts have jurisdiction over injuries that occur in Florida. You do not need to be a Florida resident to file a personal injury lawsuit here. Juan Cordero Lawyers represents both residents and visitors.
What is the deadline for a cruise ship injury claim from Miami?
Cruise ship injury claims are governed by maritime law and the terms of your ticket contract. Most major cruise lines (Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian — all based in Miami) require lawsuits to be filed within 1 year of the incident, and require written notice within 6 months. These deadlines are much shorter than standard Florida statutes of limitations — contact us immediately.
I was assaulted at a Miami Beach nightclub — do I have a case?
Possibly. If the nightclub failed to provide adequate security — insufficient security personnel, broken surveillance cameras, poor lighting, or failure to remove known troublemakers — you may have a negligent security claim against the venue. Our firm recovered a landmark $28.9 million negligent security settlement in a similar case.
