Florida Motor Vehicle and Car Accidents
Our Florida car accident lawyers represent victims of severe motor vehicle collisions across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Key West, and statewide. Our attorneys can navigate Florida’s 14-day PIP rule and pursue bodily injury lawsuits against negligent drivers for maximum compensation.
- Auto & Highway Crashes: Severe intersection collisions, highway pileups, and fatal auto accidents.
- Commercial Truck Accidents: Holding massive freight companies liable for driver fatigue and FMCSA violations.
- Rideshare Claims: Navigating the complex $1 million corporate liability policies involving Uber and Lyft accidents.
- Vulnerable Road Users: Litigating catastrophic motorcycle, scooter, bicycle, and pedestrian accident claims.
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) Claims: Recovering damages when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance.
Nationwide Product Liability & Mass Torts
When corporations design defective products or fail to warn consumers of dangerous side effects, we can fight to hold them strictly liable. Our firm represents victims across the United States and often serves in prominent leadership roles, including Co-Lead Counsel in the national Sunbeam Crock-Pot Class Action.
- Exploding Pressure Cookers: Severe thermal burn lawsuits against major brands like Tristar (Power Pressure Cooker XL), Sunbeam, Instant Pot, Ninja, NuWave, and Maxi-Matic.
- Automotive Defects: Federal tort claims involving defective Takata airbags, tire tread separations, and vehicle crashworthiness failures.
- Dangerous Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices: Mass tort litigation for defective transvaginal mesh, dangerous prescription drugs, and flawed medical implants.
Federal Life Insurance Claims & Disputes
Life insurance companies frequently utilize bad faith tactics to deny rightful beneficiaries. We often litigate delayed and denied life insurance claims in state and federal courts throughout Florida, New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., and nationwide.
- Interpleader Lawsuits: Resolving complex disputes when multiple parties (such as a former spouse and current spouse) claim the same death benefit.
- Material Misrepresentation: Fighting carrier cancellations during the two-year contestability period.
- ERISA Claims: Navigating strict federal regulations for employer-provided group life insurance denials.
- Beneficiary Designation Issues: Resolving Slayer Statute claims, unauthorized beneficiary changes, and estate payouts.
Maritime Law and Cruise Ship Injuries
Because most major cruise lines mandate that passenger lawsuits be filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, victims worldwide frequently rely on our Miami-based cruise attorneys. We strictly adhere to the one-year statute of limitations when applicable to litigate against Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian (NCL), Disney, and Celebrity Cruises for shipboard slip and falls, shore excursion injuries, and medical negligence at sea.
Crime Victim’s Rights and Negligent Security
Victims of violent crimes often have civil remedies available to them. We can aggressively pursue negligent security and premises liability claims against apartment complexes, hotels, and businesses that fail to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts, including shootings, sexual assaults, and robberies.
Florida Wrongful Death Claims
Under the Florida Wrongful Death Act, we help surviving family members and Personal Representatives recover funeral expenses, loss of support, and emotional damages when a loved one is killed due to drunk driving, medical malpractice, accidental shootings, or general negligence.
Florida Personal Injury and Premises Liability
When you visit a grocery store, an amusement park, or even a neighbor’s home, property owners and businesses owe you a legal “duty of care” to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail to fix known hazards, or when their employees act carelessly, innocent people get hurt. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin can aggressively litigate general negligence and premises liability claims to hold at-fault parties fully accountable.
Our trial attorneys can investigate a wide array of personal injury claims, including:
- Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents: Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 768.0755) often requires victims to prove that a business had actual or “constructive knowledge” of a dangerous condition, like a wet floor, a hidden step, or torn carpeting. We can try to secure store sweep logs and surveillance footage to prove liability.
- Careless Store Employees: Under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, a company is often financially responsible when a negligent employee injures a customer, such as dropping heavy merchandise, striking a customer with a forklift or cart, or creating a tripping hazard in an aisle.
- Amusement Park Accidents: Florida is the theme park capital of the world. We often represent tourists and locals injured by defective rides, poorly maintained attractions, and crowd-control failures at major resorts, fairs, and water parks, like claims against Disney World, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens.
- Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Florida is a “strict liability” state for dog bites (Fla. Stat. § 767.04). This means a dog owner is generally liable for injuries their dog causes to a person in a public place or lawfully on private property, regardless of the dog’s prior history of aggression.
- Elevator and Escalator Accidents: Severe injuries caused by sudden drops, misleveling (tripping hazards when exiting), or getting caught in moving parts due to negligent maintenance by property managers or elevator servicing companies.
- Accidental Shootings: Catastrophic injuries or wrongful death caused by the reckless mishandling of firearms, failure to safely store weapons, or accidental discharges on private property or at shooting ranges.
If you were injured due to the careless actions of an individual or a business, do not speak to their insurance adjuster without legal representation. Call us immediately at (800) 337-7755 to help protect your right to compensation.
Practice Areas & Legal Representation FAQs
Do you handle cases outside of Florida?
Yes. While our primary physical offices are located in Florida to handle state-level personal injury and wrongful death claims, our firm maintains a massive national footprint. We can represent victims across the United States in federal product liability lawsuits (such as exploding pressure cookers and defective airbags) and federal life insurance interpleader disputes. We frequently partner with local out-of-state co-counsel to ensure you receive localized representation backed by our national resources.
What is the difference between general negligence and product liability?
General negligence (like a car accident or a slip and fall) generally requires us to prove that a specific person or business failed to act with reasonable care. Product liability, however, usually falls under “strict liability.” This means if you are injured by a defective appliance, dangerous drug, or faulty auto part, we do not necessarily have to prove the manufacturer was careless; we may simply have to prove the product was unreasonably dangerous when it left the factory and caused your injury.
Why do out-of-state passengers need a Miami lawyer for cruise ship injuries?
If you were injured on a major cruise line like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, or Norwegian, your passenger ticket contract generally contains a strict “forum selection clause.” This maritime law loophole legally requires the vast majority of injured passengers to file their lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, located in Miami, regardless of where the passenger lives or where the ship was sailing. Our Miami-based maritime attorneys handle these specific federal filings.
Can I sue if a life insurance company denies my claim for “material misrepresentation”?
Yes. Life insurance companies frequently use the two-year contestability period to scour a deceased person’s medical records, looking for any excuse to claim they lied on their application (material misrepresentation) to deny the death benefit. Our life insurance attorneys can aggressively litigate these bad-faith denials and ERISA disputes in federal courts to try and force insurance carriers to pay the rightful beneficiaries.
How much do you charge for personal injury and wrongful death cases?
The Law Offices of Jason Turchin operates on a strict contingency fee basis for all injury, mass tort, and wrongful death claims. We provide a 100% free initial case evaluation. If we accept your case, we advance all investigative costs, expert witness fees, and court filing expenses. You will never pay us any upfront fees, and we only recover our costs and attorney’s fees if we successfully secure a financial settlement or jury verdict on your behalf.
