Yes. In Miami Gardens, Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule applies. If you were partially at fault, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, if you are found 30% at fault in a crash on NW 27th Ave, you can still recover 70% of your damages. However, if you are more than 50% at fault, you may not be eligible for compensation.

Others, particularly those with serious injuries or disputes, may take a year or longer, especially if they go to trial in Miami-Dade County courts. Your attorney will balance moving quickly with ensuring you receive maximum compensation.
