At Minias Law Firm, we pride ourselves on offering tailored legal services to the people of Florida. Whether you’re in bustling Miami, historic St. Augustine, or the serene Gulf Coast, we understand the unique legal challenges you face. Florida is more than just sunshine and beaches; it’s a state with complex laws governing personal injury, workers’ compensation, employment disputes, and more. Our experienced team is here to help you navigate these challenges, offering dedicated representation and expert legal advice. 

Personal Injury Law in Florida 

Florida’s unique traffic conditions, especially in highly populated areas like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, lead to thousands of car accidents each year. If you’ve been injured in an auto accident, the law can be complex, as Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system. This means that your insurance company is the first to pay for your medical bills and lost wages, but in cases of serious injury, you may be able to file a claim against the at-fault driver. 

Our firm handles all types of personal injury cases, including: 

  • Car Accidents: Florida’s no-fault system means you may only sue the at-fault driver in cases of severe injury, such as permanent disability, disfigurement, or death. We help clients determine whether their injuries meet this threshold. 
  • Truck Accidents: Trucking companies and their insurers often have aggressive legal teams. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, we will investigate whether the driver or company violated federal regulations, such as hours of service or vehicle maintenance requirements. 
  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners in Florida are responsible for maintaining safe conditions. If you’ve been injured in a slip-and-fall accident on someone else’s property, we can help prove negligence and recover compensation. 
  • Medical Malpractice: Florida has specific laws governing medical malpractice claims, including a two-year statute of limitations and a requirement for expert testimony. We work with top medical experts to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. 
  • Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one is devastating. In Florida, surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim if the death was caused by negligence. Our attorneys guide families through the legal process, ensuring justice is served. 

Employment Law in Florida 

At Minias Law Firm, we are committed to protecting workers’ rights in Florida. Whether you’re facing workplace discrimination, racial discrimination, sex discrimination, sexual harassment, or wrongful termination, we offer experienced legal representation to ensure your rights are upheld. Florida is an “at-will” employment state, which means employers can terminate employees for any reason that is not illegal. However, many workers face wrongful terminations based on race, gender, age, or other protected characteristics. We handle cases involving: 

  • Workplace Discrimination: We represent employees in cases of discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, or religion. Florida law prohibits these forms of discrimination under the Florida Civil Rights Act, and we work tirelessly to protect your rights. 
  • Sexual Harassment: If you’ve experienced unwanted advances, harassment, or hostile work environments, we can help you file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and pursue justice. 
  • Wage and Hour Disputes: Florida’s minimum wage laws are different from federal regulations, and many workers are unaware of their right to receive overtime pay. If you believe you’ve been underpaid, we can help you recover what you’re owed. 

Insurance Claims in Florida 

Florida is prone to hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters, making property damage claims a common occurrence. However, insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. Our attorneys are experienced in negotiating with insurers to ensure you receive a fair settlement for: 

  • Hurricane Damage: We help homeowners and businesses recover compensation for storm damage, including disputes over coverage limits, deductibles, and repair costs. 
  • Flood Claims: Flooding is a major issue in Florida, especially in low-lying areas. We can assist in filing claims under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or with private insurers. 
  • Denied or Underpaid Claims: If your insurance company has denied or underpaid your claim, we can represent you in negotiations or litigation to get the compensation you deserve. 

Landlord/Tenant Disputes in Florida 

Whether you’re a tenant fighting for your rights or a landlord dealing with difficult tenants, Florida’s landlord-tenant laws can be complicated. We assist clients with: 

  • Evictions: Florida law requires landlords to follow specific procedures when evicting tenants. If you’re a landlord seeking to evict a tenant, we can ensure you follow the correct legal steps. If you’re a tenant facing eviction, we can help you protect your rights and avoid unfair treatment. 
  • Security Deposit Disputes: Florida law regulates how landlords must handle security deposits. If you’re a tenant who believes your security deposit has been wrongfully withheld, we can help you recover it.

Running a business in Florida involves navigating a complex web of laws and regulations. Minias Law Firm provides comprehensive legal services to small business owners, including: 

  • Contract Drafting and Negotiation: We can help you draft, review, and negotiate contracts to ensure your business interests are protected.
