Welcome to Kogan & DiSalvo Personal Injury Lawyers, now proudly serving the vibrant community of Miami, Florida, from our new office. If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, we’re here to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve. With decades of experience, a proven track record of multi-million-dollar settlements, and a commitment to personalized advocacy, we are Miami’s premier choice for accident victims.
Miami, the heart of South Florida, is known for its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and bustling urban life. However, its busy streets and highways come with significant risks. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Miami-Dade County reported 63,514 police-reported vehicle accidents in 2022, resulting in nearly 20,000 injuries and 323 fatalities, including 87 pedestrian deaths and 44 motorcycle fatalities. These sobering statistics highlight the dangers on Miami’s roads.
Some of Miami’s most hazardous roadways include Interstate 95, where over 2,460 crashes were recorded in a single year between SR 112 and the Golden Glades Interchange, with 819 serious injuries and 7 fatalities. High-risk behaviors like red-light running at intersections such as NW 27th Avenue and 7th Street, distracted driving, and DUI-related accidents after bar hours contribute significantly to collisions. Potholes, wet roads from frequent rainstorms, and uneven surfaces further exacerbate the risks for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
At Kogan & DiSalvo, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll an accident can take. Our Miami personal injury lawyers are dedicated to holding negligent parties accountable and securing the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
At Kogan & DiSalvo, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases, ensuring that no matter how you were injured, we have the expertise to fight for you. Below, we outline the case types we take on and explain when you may have grounds to sue for compensation. Florida’s pure comparative negligence law allows you to seek damages even if you were partially at fault, though your award may be reduced by your percentage of liability. The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Florida is two years from the date of injury, so acting promptly is critical.
Miami’s congested roads see frequent rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, and hit-and-runs. In 2022, Florida reported over 397,000 motor vehicle accidents, with more than 252,000 injuries. If a negligent driver, whether distracted, speeding, or intoxicated, caused your crash, you can sue for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. We navigate Florida’s no-fault insurance system, ensuring you maximize Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits and pursue additional claims against at-fault parties when injuries meet the serious injury threshold.
Commercial truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the vehicles’ size and weight. Breaches of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, such as driver fatigue or improper maintenance, can lead to liability for trucking companies. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, we’ll investigate all liable parties to secure compensation for medical bills, lost earning capacity, and more.
Florida’s 620,077 registered motorcycles face unique risks, with 9,200 crashes reported in 2022. Motorcyclists don’t need to meet the serious injury threshold to sue, allowing claims for medical costs, bike repairs, and pain and suffering. If a driver failed to yield or was distracted, we’ll counter defense tactics claiming you were at fault, ensuring fair compensation.
Miami’s extensive coastline makes boating a popular pastime, but operator negligence, intoxication, or equipment failure can lead to serious accidents. If you were injured on the water, you may sue for damages, including medical treatment and lost wages. Our team understands maritime law and will pursue justice against responsible parties.
Workplace injuries, from construction accidents to repetitive stress injuries, can disrupt your livelihood. Florida’s workers’ compensation system provides benefits for medical care and lost wages, but employers or insurers may deny valid claims. We fight to secure the benefits you’re entitled to and explore third-party claims if another party’s negligence contributed to your injury.
Bus accidents, whether involving public transit or private charters, often stem from driver distraction, speeding, or poor maintenance. These complex cases require thorough investigation to determine liability. If you were injured as a passenger or another road user, we’ll pursue damages for your injuries and losses.
When defective products or dangerous drugs harm multiple people, mass torts allow victims to seek justice collectively. We represent clients harmed by faulty medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or consumer products, ensuring manufacturers are held accountable for medical expenses, pain, and suffering.
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. If you were injured due to hazards like uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, or lack of security, you may have a premises liability claim. We’ll prove negligence to secure compensation for your injuries.
Defective products, from malfunctioning appliances to unsafe drugs, can cause serious harm. If you were injured using a product as intended, you can sue the manufacturer or distributor. We handle individual claims and mass torts, fighting for damages like medical costs and lost wages.
Florida ranks third for medical negligence claims, and nursing home abuse is a growing concern in Miami-Dade. If your loved one suffered neglect, physical abuse, or inadequate care, we’ll pursue justice for medical expenses, emotional trauma, and punitive damages when warranted.
With Florida ranking second nationally for pedestrian deaths, Miami’s busy streets pose significant risks. Drivers must yield to pedestrians, especially at crosswalks. If you were hit due to a driver’s negligence, you can sue for catastrophic injuries, medical bills, and pain and suffering. The statute of limitations for pedestrian accident claims is generally two years.
Bicyclists share Miami’s roads with vehicles, facing risks from negligent drivers. In 2022, over 7,200 bicycle crashes occurred statewide. If you were injured, you can seek compensation for medical expenses, bike repairs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. We protect you from insurance tactics that minimize your claim.
Slip and falls, a subset of premises liability, occur due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor maintenance. Property owners may be liable for your injuries if they failed to address hazards. We’ll investigate to prove negligence and secure damages for medical care and lost income.
Injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or amputations have lifelong impacts. In 2022, Miami-Dade reported 819 serious injuries from crashes alone. You can sue for past and future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and emotional distress. We work with life care planners and economists to accurately value your claim.
At Kogan & DiSalvo, we’re more than just lawyers, we’re your advocates, guiding you through every step of the recovery process. Here’s how we help Miami accident victims:
Florida’s no-fault system requires drivers to carry $10,000 in PIP coverage, but this often falls short for serious injuries. Recent updates to traffic laws aim to reduce accidents, but negligent behavior remains a leading cause of crashes. Our attorneys stay abreast of these changes to strengthen your case.
With over 28 years of experience serving South Florida, Kogan & DiSalvo has a reputation for excellence. Our Miami office is staffed with skilled attorneys who understand the local landscape, from I-95’s dangers to the nuances of Miami-Dade’s legal system. We’ve recovered over $100 million for clients, earning testimonials like: “Thank you, Nicole, for helping me get through the toughest accident a young woman could ever recover from… you cared about my overall well-being from beginning to end.”
