Personal Injury Cases We Handle

A personal injury case can begin in many ways, but the legal question is usually the same: were you hurt because someone else was careless, negligent, or responsible for unsafe conditions?

The type of case matters: it shapes what kind of expert review is needed, what records have to be preserved, and how much time you have to act under Florida law.

These are the cases we handle most often:



Medical Malpractice:

When a doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider fails to meet an acceptable standard of care and it leads to serious harm, you may have a claim.



Defective Products:

If a dangerous or poorly designed product caused your injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be responsible.



Serious Injury Claims:

Serious injuries can affect your health, work, family, income, and future. These cases may involve emergency care, follow-up treatment, physical therapy, long-term limitations, pain and suffering, scarring, or permanent changes to daily life.



Wrongful Death Claims:

When negligence leads to the loss of a loved one, families may have legal rights under Florida law. These cases are sensitive, fact-specific, and handled with care.



Accident-Related Injuries:

If your injury resulted from a car crash, a slip-and-fall, or a workplace accident, we are ready to handle your case.

What To Do After A Personal Injury In Florida

Medical malpractice, product liability, and wrongful death cases don’t start at an accident scene. They start with medical records, a product, or a loss that needs to be documented carefully. Here’s where to start:

1

Seek medical attention and get an accurate diagnosis.

Evidence of treatment is key for proving a medical malpractice claim or an injury from a defective product.

2

Obtain copies of your medical records.

Your chart, test results, and provider notes support what took place and when.

3

Save the product, if applicable.

Keep it exactly as it was at the time of your injury (don’t fix, discard, or otherwise change it), and hold onto the packaging, instructions, and receipt.

4

Write everything down while you remember it.

Dates, providers’ names, product details, and what occurred are easy to forget later.

5

Get a second opinion if something feels off about your treatment.

It can help clarify whether the level of care you received was reasonable.

6

Be aware of Florida's deadlines.

Malpractice and wrongful death claims carry very specific notice and filing deadlines, often shorter than people expect.

7

Hire an attorney early.

Malpractice and product cases involve a pre-suit investigation that has to happen before a claim can even be filed.

Why Personal Injury Cases Can Be Complicated

In these cases, the proof you need is often harder to gather than in a typical accident case. The hospital, manufacturer, or their insurer may argue that your treatment met the standard of care, that the product was used incorrectly, or that something else caused your injury. A strong case often depends on:

Medical expert review: a qualified physician who can determine whether your treatment fell below an acceptable standard.
Your complete medical file: every record and test result, not just a summary.
Engineering analysis of the product: for defective product cases, a close look at how and why it failed.
The manufacturer’s safety record: prior recalls, complaints, or design documentation.
Financial and dependency evidence: especially important in wrongful death cases, where survivors’ losses go beyond medical bills.

Our role is to bring in the right experts, organize the evidence, and pursue the compensation available under the circumstances of your case.

What The Compensation Includes



Medical costs

Past and future treatment connected to the malpractice or defective product.



Lost income and earning capacity:

Wages already missed, and the impact on your ability to work going forward.



Pain and suffering

The physical and emotional toll of the injury.



Wrongful death damages

Under Florida law, surviving family members may be able to recover for lost support, loss of companionship, and funeral or burial expenses.



Punitive damages:

In limited cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, additional damages may apply.

No attorney can promise compensation or a specific result. The value of a case depends on liability, the strength of the medical or expert evidence, and the long-term impact on your life.

Serving Fort Lauderdale, Broward County & South Florida

Our office is in Wilton Manors, and we represent clients throughout Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and neighboring communities, including Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Plantation, Oakland Park, Davie, Lauderhill, Coral Springs, Sunrise, Tamarac, Deerfield Beach, Coconut Creek, Margate, and Weston.

Personal injury cases like medical malpractice, product liability, and wrongful death often involve records and experts from more than one location: a hospital in one city, a manufacturer somewhere else entirely.

That’s why we also represent clients across South Florida, including Palm Beach County and Miami-Dade County, and statewide in Florida when the case calls for it. Being based in Broward County means we know the local courts and the medical community here, and how to build a case that reaches beyond South Florida when it needs to.

Meet Alex Arreaza

I immigrated to the United States from Venezuela more than 30 years ago. I know firsthand what it’s like to face an unfamiliar system while important decisions are being made.

That experience shaped how I practice law. Personal injury cases aren’t only about paperwork and insurance companies. They’re about health, work, family, stress, uncertainty, and moving forward.

My role is to listen, explain your options clearly, and help you take the next step after a serious injury.

One of the best lawyers I’ve had, takes his time to understand the case. Does the best he can do to get you whatever it is you want..

Alex is by far one of the most caring and ethical Atorneys out there, and I am proud to call him my friend. I find it comical that A M leaves a scathing review because Alex wouldn't take a case that was unethical, which this person neglects to mention. If you look at all of the reviews from this individual, who won't even leave their real name, they are mostly 1's and 2's and obviously this person can't be pleased since they mostly leave negative comments. Those who have left reviews should report this review as Bullying. I would say a 4.7 is pretty strong!

FAQ

What is a personal injury lawyer?

A personal injury lawyer helps people harmed by someone else’s negligence, whether that’s medical malpractice, a defective product, or another type of personal injury. They investigate what happened, bring in independent experts, negotiate with insurance companies, and litigate when necessary.

Is there a personal injury lawyer near me in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. Arreaza Law Firm is based in Wilton Manors and represents injured clients throughout Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and the surrounding South Florida area.

Is personal injury different from a car accident case?

Yes, a car accident is one type of personal injury claim, but this page is about the other side of personal injury law: medical malpractice, defective products, and wrongful death. Need help with a car accident specifically? Our dedicated site covers that directly.

What kind of personal injury cases does this page cover?

Medical malpractice, defective products, wrongful death, and other personal injury cases caused by negligence. If your injury came from a specific type of accident, like a car crash, slip and fall, or workplace accident, we’ll connect you with the right resource for that case.

What should I do after a personal injury in Florida?

Start collecting evidence: get your medical records, keep the product involved if you can, and write down what you remember while it’s fresh. Then contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Malpractice and product liability claims usually need independent expert review before they can be filed.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. Personal injury cases, including malpractice and product liability claims, are handled on a contingency fee basis, so there’s no cost to start. Legal fees only come out of what we recover for you, and only if we win.

Can a lawyer guarantee compensation?

No. No attorney can promise a specific outcome, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. What we can do is evaluate the medical or expert evidence, identify who’s responsible, and pursue the strongest case the facts support.

How soon should I contact a lawyer after a personal injury?

The sooner, the better, especially for medical malpractice, where Florida law requires a pre-suit investigation before you can even file a claim. Waiting can shrink your options fast.
