When a crash on US-1, a fall at Merrick Park, or a negligent-security incident off Miracle Mile turns your life upside down, you need a local trial lawyer who knows the City Beautiful — and knows how insurance companies fight these claims. The Farber Law Firm has represented injured Coral Gables residents and visitors for over 25 years, working out of our Coral Gables office at 2199 Ponce de Leon Blvd.
Coral Gables packs unusual injury risk into 13 square miles. The US-1 / Le Jeune interchange is one of Miami-Dade's busiest, the Miracle Mile pedestrian district sees constant foot traffic, and the I-95 / Dixie Highway corridor funnels commuter traffic through narrow historic streets that were never engineered for modern volume.
We also see a steady volume of premises-liability claims tied to the Gables' commercial density — Shops at Merrick Park, the dining scene on Giralda Plaza, hotel properties, and aging mixed-use buildings with maintenance gaps. These cases hinge on quickly preserving surveillance video and incident reports before they're overwritten or 'lost.'
Coral Gables PD writes thorough crash reports, but the narrative is often the defense's first weapon. We review the report, request body-cam footage where available, and pair it with our own scene investigation and accident-reconstruction experts when the case warrants it.
Direct answers
Call 8888-FARBER and speak with our intake team. If we take your case, David Farber personally reviews it within 24 hours.
We send preservation letters to property owners, pull 911 calls, Coral Gables PD body-cam, and any traffic-cam footage before it's destroyed.
We coordinate with your treating providers — including Baptist, Doctors Hospital, and UM specialists — so the medical record fully reflects the injury.
We build a demand package the carrier can't dismiss. Most cases resolve here — but we file suit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court the moment a fair offer isn't on the table.
Insurance adjusters know which firms try cases and which don't. We do. That's leverage from day one.
We represent clients in every neighborhood, including:
Local office
In-person meetings are available by appointment. You can also begin with a free phone or video case review.
Florida's statute of limitations for most negligence claims is two years from the date of the accident under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a) (for incidents on or after March 24, 2023). Wrongful death claims are also two years. Wait too long and your claim is barred regardless of merit.
Any Florida-licensed attorney can represent you, but local familiarity matters. We know the City of Coral Gables Police accident-report process, the typical insurance adjusters covering Miracle Mile and US-1 corridor crashes, and how Miami-Dade Civil Court judges in the Coral Gables division handle PI motions.
It depends on medical bills, lost wages, future treatment needs, permanency of injury, available insurance coverage, and Florida's modified comparative negligence rule (Fla. Stat. § 768.81) which bars recovery if you are more than 50% at fault. We give an honest range only after reviewing records.
Yes. Premises liability cases against businesses on Miracle Mile, Merrick Park, and Giralda Plaza require proving the owner had actual or constructive notice of the hazard under Fla. Stat. § 768.0755 — preserving CCTV and incident reports quickly is critical.
Most personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee — you pay nothing up front and we only collect a fee if we recover for you. Exact terms are in a written retainer reviewed before you sign.
Free, confidential consultation. No fee unless we recover (most personal injury and insurance matters).
