Rafael Recalde, Esq. - Miami Premises Injury Attorney

Rafael Recalde, Esq.

When you're injured on someone else's property, the clock starts ticking immediately. Surveillance footage gets overwritten. Maintenance logs are altered or discarded. Witnesses' memories fade. The property owner's insurance company is already building a defense before you even leave the emergency room.

I focus my practice on premises injury cases in Miami because I understand what's at stake. These aren't just legal claims. They're life-altering injuries caused by property owners who chose profit over safety. Landlords who deferred maintenance. Hotels that cut their security budget. Shopping centers that ignored known hazards.

The commercial properties and real estate companies behind these injuries carry substantial insurance policies, often in the millions. My job is to make sure you recover the full compensation those policies are designed to provide.

Understanding Premises Liability in Miami

What you need to know about property injury claims in Florida.

Florida law requires property owners to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for visitors. When they fail to do so, and someone is injured as a result, the property owner can be held financially responsible through a premises liability claim.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Premises injury cases in Miami often involve multiple responsible parties. Unlike a simple car accident with one at-fault driver, property injury claims can target:

Why Property Injury Claims Often Carry Significant Value

Commercial and residential real estate properties in Miami are high-value assets. The entities that own and manage these properties carry insurance policies that reflect that value. A single apartment complex, hotel, or shopping center may have general liability coverage of one million dollars or more, plus umbrella policies that extend well beyond that.

When multiple responsible parties are involved, multiple insurance policies may be available to compensate you. This is a key difference between premises injury cases and many other personal injury claims.

Act Quickly: Florida's statute of limitations gives you two years to file a premises liability lawsuit. But the real deadline is much shorter. Surveillance footage is overwritten in days or weeks. Maintenance records are discarded. Witnesses move away. The sooner you contact an attorney, the more evidence we can preserve to strengthen your case.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

A successful premises injury claim in Miami can recover compensation for:

Every case is different, and the value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the strength of the evidence, and the insurance coverage available. The best way to understand what your case may be worth is to speak with an attorney who handles premises injury cases in Miami.
