The Benefits of Choosing Our Brightline Train Accident Attorneys in Miami
An accident involving a fast-moving commuter train can cause serious injuries to multiple victims. In the aftermath of the accident, the train company and its insurer could be inundated with personal injury and wrongful death claims. To avoid having your claim lost in a sea of others, our client-focused team will:
- Deal with the insurance company and its adjuster: Your Miami personal injury lawyer will handle all communication on your behalf, which can help you avoid saying or signing anything that could damage your case. Our legal team will also manage all verbal, written, and electronic forms of communication.
- Gather evidence of the at-fault party’s negligence and liability: We will collect evidence of the legal elements of negligence. Your case file will aim to prove the liable party owed you a duty of care, breached their legal obligation, caused your accident, and is responsible for your financial and non-financial losses.
- Collect official documents on your behalf: We will collect the police report and any internal reports made by the railroad company. Additional documentation can include your medical records and bills, as well as train inspection and On-Train Data Recorder (OTDR) reports.
- Complete required forms and filings: Your personal injury attorney will obtain, complete, and submit insurance claim forms. Our legal team will also handle all the documentation required to file your personal injury lawsuit, including covering any filing fees.
- Represent you at the negotiation table: We will accept and review any offers you receive from the insurance provider. We will also weigh their pros and cons and guide you toward the best possible compensation package.
Our legal team also takes time to respond to your legal questions and concerns and to provide ongoing updates as your case develops and progresses.

Compensatory Damages You Can Recover For a Brightline Train Accident in Miami
Florida Statutes § 768.81 allows you to recover compensation for a train accident caused by negligence. The financial compensation we request on your behalf can include the following economic damages for costs that might otherwise come out of your pocket:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Current and future losses of income
- Loss of the ability to earn in the future
- Medical treatment-related travel expenses
- Property damage, loss, or diminishment
We can also request a range of non-economic damages that you might find hard to assess and document without legal assistance, including:
- Lasting disability and disfigurement
- Ongoing physical pain and suffering
- Lasting mental anguish and emotional distress
- Diminished quality of life
Our Miami wrongful death lawyers also support grieving families in their pursuit of wrongful death damages after the loss of a loved one. While nothing can fully atone for your loss, you can seek to recover the costs of making your loved one’s final arrangements and your loss of their financial and domestic support.
Act Quickly to Protect Your Right to Financial Compensation in Florida
The statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits in Florida changed in 2024. In general, you now have just two years to file your lawsuit, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. The same filing deadline applies to wrongful death lawsuits.
Failure to file your lawsuit on time could mean you cannot file it at all, or the court will dismiss it out of hand. The insurance company may also refuse to negotiate a settlement. To avoid these costly outcomes, our Miami Brightline accident lawyers will file your lawsuit on time and in the appropriate court.
