Our Areas of Practice

Personal Injury

After you sustain an injury due to someone else's negligence, the emotional, physical, and financial aftermath of the incident could be overwhelming.

Wrongful Death

Few situations compare to the death of a loved one. The loss can feel more heartwrenching if your loved one dies due to someone else's negligence.

Property Damage Claims

When filing insurance claims for damaged property, policyholders often believe their insurers will investigate and provide fair coverage. But that's not always the case.

Automobile Accidents

Reckless and negligent driving are major contributors to traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Florida has over 400,000 automobile accidents yearly, resulting in hundreds of crash deaths and injuries.

Hurricane Claims

The heavy rains and intense winds can cause significant damage to your home. Unfortunately, insurance companies might try to deny hurricane claims to avoid paying for storm damage.

Improperly Built Claims

If you're building a property in Miami, FL, you expect the builders to have superior construction skills. Unfortunately, if the builder causes property damage, you may be able to seek damages.

Experience the difference in the way our Firm pursues Miami Personal Injury Claims

Many people who have experienced an accident have engaged firms where they simply become a number or rarely interact directly with their assigned lawyer, but are instead shuffled to the support staff. These clients do not feel that they have received personalized service from their attorney.

Clients do not feel their questions are being answered, they do not understand the claims/litigation process, they are not being provided updates at regular intervals, or they simply do not know what is going on.

Attorney Michael Appel welcomes your questions, communicates with you at each and every phase of your case, educates you so you have a better understanding of the process, and desires to manage your goals and expectations.
