Personal Injury
Comprehensive personal injury representation for all types of accidents and injuries in South Florida.
An injury changes everything. One moment you're living your life—working, caring for your family, enjoying your routine—and the next, you're in pain, facing medical bills, missing work, and dealing with insurance companies that seem determined to deny or minimize your claim. If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence anywhere in South Florida, you're probably feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and uncertain about what comes next.
You're not alone. At Emas Law Group, we represent injury victims across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in all types of personal injury cases. Whether you were hurt in a car crash, slip and fall, trucking collision, medical error, or any other incident caused by negligence, we fight to recover full compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
Why Emas Law Group Is Different
Most personal injury attorneys only know one side of the legal battle. We know both. David Emas began his career as a prosecutor in the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, fighting for victims in one of the nation's largest prosecuting offices. He then spent years defending hospitals, healthcare professionals, and insurance carriers at Florida's premier defense firms, handling complex medical malpractice, premises liability, and trucking cases.
Stacy Emas worked as a litigator at Cole Scott & Kissane, one of Florida's largest and most premier defense law firms, where she defended major corporations in high-stakes liability cases. She then specialized in catastrophic trucking collisions at Rumberger Kirk Caldwell, defending prominent beverage companies and big box retailers. Finally, she spent years as an insurance coverage attorney at a nationally recognized firm, learning exactly how insurance companies deny coverage and avoid paying claims.
Now, we use that insider knowledge to fight for you. We know how defense attorneys think, how insurance companies minimize claims, and what evidence is needed to win maximum compensation. This isn't theory—it's experience gained from representing the other side. And now, every bit of that knowledge works in your favor.

What Compensation Can You Recover?
Florida law allows injury victims to recover several types of damages when someone else's negligence causes harm. Insurance companies focus on paying as little as possible—often only covering immediate medical bills and ignoring the full scope of your losses. We fight to recover:
- Medical Expenses – Past and future medical treatment, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and medical equipment
- Lost Wages – Income lost while recovering, plus future earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to work
- Pain and Suffering – Physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental anguish caused by your injuries
- Property Damage – Vehicle repairs or replacement, damaged personal belongings, and other property losses
- Permanent Disability – Compensation for permanent impairments, disfigurement, and loss of bodily function
Insurance adjusters will pressure you to accept quick settlements that cover only a fraction of your actual damages. Don't fall for it. Once you sign, you can never recover additional compensation—even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected. We calculate the full value of your claim and fight for every dollar you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal injury case?
A personal injury case arises when someone suffers harm due to another person's or entity's negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. Common examples include car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, defective products, and workplace injuries. To have a valid case, you must prove that someone owed you a duty of care, they breached that duty, their breach caused your injury, and you suffered actual damages as a result.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Florida?
At Emas Law Group, you pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, and we also advance all case costs. If we don't recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing. This arrangement allows everyone access to quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. However, there are exceptions: medical malpractice has specific notice requirements, cases involving minors may have extended deadlines, and some government claims require notice within shorter timeframes. It's critical to consult an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What compensation can I receive in a personal injury case?
Compensation in personal injury cases may include economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future medical expenses, loss of earning capacity), non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium), and in some cases punitive damages (designed to punish particularly egregious conduct). The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the strength of your evidence.
Will my personal injury case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial—approximately 95% reach a settlement. However, having an attorney who is willing and prepared to go to trial often leads to better settlements, as insurance companies know they can't lowball you. At Emas Law Group, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which gives us leverage in negotiations and ensures we're ready if trial becomes necessary to get you fair compensation.
