Doral Personal Injury Lawyer

Reviewed by Mike Redondo, Founding Attorney, Redondo Law, P.A. • Updated September 2026

Doral is one of Miami-Dade’s busiest business hubs. Warehouses, distribution centers and the cargo traffic around Miami International Airport put tractor-trailers, delivery vans and commuters on the same crowded roads every day. When crashes happen here, they are often serious.

Mike Redondo spent years defending major corporations before he began representing injured people. That experience matters in Doral, where many claims involve trucking companies, delivery fleets and their insurers.

Common Accidents in Doral

Truck Crashes

Tractor-trailers and box trucks serving warehouses and the airport cause some of the most serious crashes in Doral.

Car Crashes

Heavy commuter traffic on the Dolphin and Palmetto Expressways and major Doral avenues leads to rear-end and merging crashes.

Delivery Vehicle Crashes

Delivery vans and gig drivers rushing between stops often make sudden turns and illegal stops.

Where Crashes Happen in Doral

Crashes are common on the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), Florida’s Turnpike, NW 36th Street, NW 41st Street, NW 25th Street, NW 87th Avenue and NW 107th Avenue. Truck traffic entering and leaving industrial areas, wide intersections and highway ramps all raise the risk. Busy shopping and dining areas, like CityPlace Doral, add pedestrian traffic.

Why Truck Cases Need Fast Action

Trucking companies send investigators to the scene quickly. Driver logs, electronic logging device data, dashcam video and maintenance records can be lost if no one asks for them. We send preservation letters right away and look at every responsible party: the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader and the owner of the trailer. Learn more on our truck accident page.

Injury Cases We Handle for Doral Clients

Florida Law You Should Know

Two-year deadline. For most negligence claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years to file a lawsuit.
Modified comparative fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover. Below that, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault.
PIP pays first in most car crashes. Your own Personal Injury Protection covers up to $10,000 in medical bills and lost wages, if you get treatment within 14 days.
Government claims are different. If a city bus, county vehicle or dangerous public road played a role, written notice must be given to the government before suing.

Getting Help After a Crash in Doral

Crashes in Doral are usually handled by the Doral Police Department. Crashes on state highways may be handled by the Florida Highway Patrol. You can request a copy of your crash report once it is filed, and we can get it for you.

For serious injuries, the nearest trauma care is often the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Keep every record from the ambulance, emergency room and follow-up visits. Those records are the backbone of your claim.

Injuries We Often See

Neck and back injuries, including herniated discs
Broken bones and fractures
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Knee and shoulder injuries that need surgery
Burns, scarring and disfigurement

Some injuries, like concussions and disc injuries, do not show up right away. Get checked by a doctor even if you feel fine after a crash.

What Your Claim Can Include

Florida law lets injured people recover for the full impact of an injury caused by someone else’s negligence. Depending on your case, that can include:

Medical bills, past and future, including surgery, therapy and medication
Lost wages and lost ability to earn in the future
Pain, suffering and emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life, including activities you can no longer do
Property damage, such as vehicle repair or replacement
For families, wrongful death damages when a loved one is killed

We document every loss with medical records, bills, employer records and, when needed, expert opinions, so the insurance company cannot overlook any part of your claim.

What to Do After an Accident in Doral

Call 911 and ask for a police report. Write down the report number.
Take photos of the scene, the vehicles, any hazard and your injuries.
Get names and phone numbers of witnesses.
Write down the company name and USDOT number on any truck or van involved.
See a doctor right away, and within 14 days for a car crash to protect your PIP benefits.
Do not give a recorded statement to an insurance company before talking to a lawyer.

Where Your Case Will Be Filed

Injury lawsuits arising in Doral are generally filed in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County. Claims against interstate trucking companies can sometimes be brought in federal court as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was hurt by a delivery van. Is that a truck case?

It may be. Delivery companies and their contractors carry different insurance than regular drivers. See our delivery driver accident page.

I was hurt at work in Doral. Can I sue?

Workplace injuries are usually covered by workers’ compensation, but you may also have a claim against a third party, such as a driver or equipment maker, who is not your employer.

What if the truck driver was from another state?

You can still bring your claim here when the crash happened in Florida.
