Local injury help in Miami
When a Miami accident upends your life
Few places drive like Miami. I-95, the Palmetto (826), the Dolphin (836), and US-1 carry some of the heaviest and most aggressive traffic in the country — layered with tourists, rideshares, and port and airport truck traffic. From Brickell to Kendall, Doral, and the Gables, Miami-Dade ranks among Florida’s most dangerous counties for crashes.
Dream Team Law is based in Coral Gables and represents injured people across Miami-Dade in car, truck, and rideshare crashes, motorcycle and pedestrian injuries, slip-and-falls, and catastrophic cases. Florida’s no-fault system has tight deadlines that catch people off guard — we make sure you don’t lose benefits you’re owed.
Florida — the verified essentials
Statute of limitations (injury)
Generally 2 years from the date of the accident for negligence-based injury claims (reduced from 4 years by reforms effective March 24, 2023).
No-fault / PIP
Florida requires Personal Injury Protection of at least $10,000, which pays a portion of medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault.
The 14-day rule
To use PIP benefits, you generally must seek medical care within 14 days of the accident.
Comparative negligence
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule — a person found more than 50% at fault is generally barred from recovering (2023 reform).
⚠️ State deadlines and fault rules have exceptions (minors, government claims, serious-injury thresholds). Confirm the specifics of your case with a licensed attorney before relying on them.

Miami — frequently asked questions
Is Florida a no-fault state?+
Yes. Your own PIP coverage pays first regardless of fault, but you can step outside no-fault and pursue the at-fault driver when your injuries meet the serious-injury threshold. We handle both.
How long do I have to file in Miami?+
Generally two years from the date of the accident under current Florida law, with exceptions. Because deadlines changed in 2023, confirm your date with an attorney promptly.
