Your Case in Miami-Dade County Courts
Injury cases from North Miami-Dade are usually filed in Miami-Dade County’s 11th Judicial Circuit, which has its own judges, juries, and local procedures. Smaller civil claims (up to $50,000) are handled in county court, including at the North Dade Justice Center at 15555 Biscayne Boulevard, while larger injury lawsuits are heard by the circuit court in downtown Miami.
If the at-fault driver or company is based in Broward County, your case may also be able to be filed there. We explain the options during your free consultation, and you work with the same attorney either way.

Under Florida’s comparative negligence law, you can generally still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, though your award is reduced by your share of fault. Insurers often overstate a victim’s fault, so do not assume you have no case.
For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline is generally two years from the date of the injury. Claims against government agencies have additional notice requirements, so it is important to speak with a lawyer early.
