General note on coverage

The website makes clear that clients are not limited to the specific cities listed. Schrier Law Group states that it serves all communities throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties and more broadly across South Florida.

If someone is unsure whether their location is covered, they should be directed to call 305-893-5500 so the firm can confirm whether it can handle a case arising in that area.

Meeting options

• The firm's physical office is in Miami, but the website notes that the team is willing to meet clients where it is most convenient, such as at the client's home or at a hospital when appropriate.
• Many case evaluations and updates can be handled by phone or other remote communication, depending on what the firm and client arrange.

Exact details about remote video conferencing or online client portals are not specified on the website and must be confirmed directly with the firm.

Names South and North as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

• In March 2023, Florida enacted House Bill 837, which shortened the standard time limit for many negligence‑based personal injury lawsuits.
• For most general personal injury cases arising after this change, the website explains that a lawsuit must now be filed within two years from the date of injury.
• For wrongful death cases, the website notes that Florida's Wrongful Death Act generally requires filing within two years from the date of death.

Missing an applicable deadline can permanently bar a claim, regardless of how serious the injuries are. Because there are exceptions and special rules for certain case types, anyone with a possible claim should consult an attorney as soon as possible to confirm their specific time limits.

Modified comparative negligence

• Florida now uses a modified comparative negligence system for many negligence cases.
• Under this approach, a person's compensation can be reduced if they are partly at fault for the accident.
• If an injured person is found to be more than 50% at fault, the website explains that they may be barred from recovering compensation.

Insurance companies may try to place as much blame as possible on the injured person to limit or deny payment. An attorney can help evaluate fault and protect a client's rights under these rules.

Florida's no‑fault (PIP) insurance system

• Florida requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage as part of the state's no‑fault auto insurance system.
• PIP generally pays up to $10,000 in certain medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash, subject to the terms of the policy and applicable law.
• For more serious or permanent injuries, a person may be able to go outside the no‑fault system and pursue a claim against the at‑fault party for additional damages.

Types of compensation commonly pursued

On its website, Schrier Law Group explains that, depending on the facts and applicable law, an injured person in Florida may be able to pursue compensation for categories such as:

• Medical expenses (current and future treatment)
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment or quality of life
• Property damage (for example, vehicle repair or replacement after a crash)

The availability and amount of any compensation depends on the specific case, the severity of the injuries, insurance coverage and how fault is determined.
