South Florida Personal Injury Lawyer

From Homestead to Jupiter, The Farber Law Firm represents injured people across South Florida's three biggest counties. Headquartered in Coral Gables, we litigate in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach circuits — and we take cases throughout the tri-county region. David Farber's background defending insurance carriers gives our clients an unusual edge: we know how the other side values, delays, and denies claims, because we used to do it.

Why South Florida Personal Injury Cases Are Different

South Florida is a single economic region but three very different legal markets. Miami-Dade (11th Circuit) is the largest civil docket in the state and moves cases on a different cadence than Broward (17th Circuit, West Palm) or Palm Beach (15th Circuit). Knowing which judges handle PI motions, which mediators carriers respect, and which venue rules favor your claim is part of the job.

Traffic patterns and crash exposure follow the I-95 spine from Miami through Fort Lauderdale and West Palm, with the Turnpike, Sawgrass, and US-1 corridors each producing their own types of cases. The barrier islands — Miami Beach, Hollywood Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Delray, Palm Beach — add pedestrian and bicycle exposure that we see year-round.

Insurance markets also differ. South Florida carries higher PIP and bodily-injury premiums than most of the state, partially because insurers know jury verdicts here can be substantial. That same dynamic makes them aggressive negotiators — and is exactly why having a trial-ready attorney matters from day one.

How We Work Your Case

1

Free case evaluation

Call or message us. We listen, review the basics, and tell you straight whether you have a case worth pursuing.

2

Investigate the right venue

We look at where the crash happened, where defendants reside, and where the law and jury pool work best for your case.

3

Build the medical record

We coordinate with treating providers across South Florida's major hospital systems so injuries are fully documented.

4

Demand and negotiate

We send insurers a documented demand — and walk away if the offer doesn't reflect the case's real value.

5

Litigate to verdict if needed

We try cases in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach circuits. That credibility drives better settlements before trial.

South Florida Personal Injury FAQs

Do you take cases throughout South Florida or only Miami?+

We accept personal injury cases across South Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe Counties. Our office is in Coral Gables, but we routinely litigate in the 11th, 17th, 15th, and 16th Judicial Circuits.

What's the deadline to sue for a South Florida injury?+

Florida's general negligence statute of limitations is two years for incidents on or after March 24, 2023 (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a)). Older incidents may have a four-year window. Wrongful death is two years. Claims against government entities require pre-suit notice within three years under Fla. Stat. § 768.28(6).

How is South Florida different from the rest of the state for injury cases?+

Jury pools, venue rules, and insurer behavior vary by circuit. Miami-Dade and Broward juries historically value pain and suffering differently than the Treasure Coast or the Panhandle, and carriers price settlements accordingly. Choosing the right venue — when more than one is available — can meaningfully affect outcome.

Will I have to travel to your office?+

Almost never. We meet by phone or video for most of the case, come to your home or hospital when you can't travel, and you only need to appear in person for depositions, mediation, or trial — most of which happen close to where the case is venued.

What types of injuries does your firm handle?+

Auto, trucking, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, rideshare, slip-and-fall, negligent security, dog bites, cruise-ship and boating injuries, drunk-driver crashes, catastrophic injury (TBI, spinal cord, amputation), and wrongful death.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Past results do not guarantee, warrant, or predict future outcomes. Every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts. Case results depend on a variety of factors unique to each case and do not represent a promise or guarantee.

Statistical data referenced (including aggregate recoveries, years of experience, and case volume) reflects the cumulative practice of David Farber and prior firms.

"No fee unless we win" applies to contingency-fee matters (typically personal injury and certain insurance recovery cases) and refers to attorneys' fees only. Clients may remain responsible for costs and expenses. Fee structures may vary by matter and are set out in the firm's written retainer agreement.
