Florida recognizes a duty of due care in many everyday situations — the duty to drive carefully, the duty of a property owner to keep their premises reasonably safe, the duty of a pet owner to control their animal, the duty of a manufacturer to put only safe products on the market. When that duty is breached and someone is injured, the responsible party can be held liable.
Under Florida law, an injured plaintiff has the burden of proving four elements: (1) the defendant owed a duty, (2) the defendant breached that duty, (3) the breach caused the injury, and (4) the injury caused real, compensable harm. Insurance carriers fight at every step — minimizing the injury, blaming a different cause, blaming the victim. Brandon Chase has experience on both sides of these cases, which is exactly why insurers take his clients' claims seriously.
Below is a quick map of the practice areas we handle. Each links to a deeper page with more detail. If your situation isn't listed, call us anyway — we'll tell you straight whether we can help or who can.
Miami Car Accident Attorney
Miami-Dade County leads Florida in car accidents — and Florida's no-fault PIP coverage rarely makes injured drivers whole. We pursue full recovery from the at-fault driver and their insurer.
Miami Truck Accident Lawyer
PortMiami is the gateway for billions of tons of cargo every year. Most of it travels north on I-95 by tractor-trailer — and when an 80,000-pound rig hits a passenger car, the damage is catastrophic.
Uber & Lyft Accident Attorney
Rideshare crashes sit at the intersection of personal auto policies, ridesharing company coverage, and Florida-specific TNC laws. Sorting out who pays — and how much — takes a lawyer who knows the rules.
Miami Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Miami consistently ranks among the most dangerous cities in America for pedestrians. From 2008 to 2017, 1,549 pedestrians died on Miami streets — and the numbers keep rising.
Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer
Distracted driving has reached epidemic proportions. The NHTSA blames it for 10% of fatal crashes and 15% of injury crashes every year — and the National Safety Council ties cellphone use to 30% of all crashes.
Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
Drunk driving accounts for about one-third of all fatal U.S. car crashes. Two-thirds of Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some point in their lives. Holding drunk drivers accountable matters.
Miami Premises Liability Lawyer
Florida law requires property owners to keep their properties reasonably safe. When they don't — and someone gets hurt — the owner can be held liable for the resulting injuries.
Slip & Fall Lawyer
Slip and fall injuries fall under Florida's premises liability law. If a property wasn't kept reasonably safe, the owner or business can be held liable for the harm that follows.
Dog Bite Injury Lawyer
Florida is a strict-liability dog bite state. Owners are liable for the damage their dogs cause — even if the dog has never shown aggression before.
Miami Product Liability Lawyer
When a defective product hurts someone, the manufacturer and others in the distribution chain can be held responsible. Civil suits are often the only tool that forces unsafe products off the market.
Wrongful Death Attorney
When a negligent act takes a loved one's life, surviving family members deserve answers, accountability, and the financial recovery the law allows.
