Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Most victims of serious injuries have never found themselves in a similar situation. They don’t fully understand their options or aren’t familiar with the legal process. Even when they do, they may not have the resources or experience necessary to properly conduct an investigation into their case and build a strong claim.
A qualified and experienced personal injury lawyer in Miami will be able to:
- Build a strong case by obtaining all evidence related to the incident, including photo and video surveillance, statements from eyewitnesses, accident reports, and more.
- Ensure that their clients are evaluated by trusted medical professionals who can evaluate their injuries and total expected losses.
- Negotiate with all parties involved to obtain maximum compensation for their client so they can cover medical bills and lost wages.
- Take the case to trial in the event the responsible party does not negotiate fairly or in good faith.
Our clients always have access to their attorney, who will be able to answer any questions or concerns they have about their case. We have an extensive track record of success, including many multimillion-dollar settlements and jury verdicts for victims of personal injuries.

Injuries Unique to Miami
Both residents of Miami and visitors to the city face unique types of accidents that would be considered unusual in other parts of the country. Port Miami is the busiest cruise port in the world for both passenger traffic and cruise lines. Miami is often referred to as “The Cruise Capital of the World.” Because of this high traffic, there is a higher risk of injury. Slips & falls, workplace injuries, and construction accidents are common at ports and on cruise ships.
If you have been injured on a cruise, our attorneys can help you seek compensation. Maybe the staff didn’t post signs indicating the floor was recently mopped, causing you to slip and break your wrist. Maybe you missed a step in a dimly lit stairwell and broke your ankle. These are just some common personal injuries that take place on cruise ships that we can help you seek compensation for. You shouldn’t have to pay for the negligence of the cruise ship company or the irresponsibility of the staff.
Workplace Injury Lawyers in Miami
Our team also helps clients who have been injured at work. In many cases, workplace injuries are like those sustained in other accidents. However, those in the workplace are also susceptible to repetitive motion injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome. Our workplace injury lawyers in Miami also help employees who are suffering from workplace-related respiratory illnesses, occupational cancers, and more.
Compensation for Florida Personal Injury Claims
If you or somebody you care about have sustained a personal injury in Miami, there may be various types of compensation available for your claim.
At the Flanagan Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Law Firm, we are regularly able to help clients recover the following types of economic and non-economic compensation:
- All medical bills and expenses related to the injuries
- Lost income if a victim cannot work while they recover
- Loss of future earnings or earning potential caused by the injuries
- Property damage expenses
- Out-of-pocket household expenses
- Pain and suffering damages
- Loss of personal enjoyment damages
- Possible punitive damages against a grossly negligent party
The total amount of compensation awarded in these cases will vary depending on the elements related to each case. This can include the severity of the injuries, whether a victim is disabled, how a victim’s ability to work is impacted, the level of physical and emotional pain and suffering, and more.
Psychological & Emotional Damages
One aspect of personal injury cases that is often ignored is the gravity of emotional and psychological injuries. Victims who have experienced trauma, as well as those who suffer from disabilities caused by their injuries, are more likely to suffer from mental and physical pain and suffering. This can manifest in feelings of depression, stress, anxiety, and fear. It is not uncommon for those who have been injured to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While these injuries may not be as easily seen, they can greatly affect victims, and they absolutely can warrant compensation.
