Personal Injury Lawyer Miami —
Fighting for What You Deserve

When you're injured because of someone else's negligence, your world turns upside down. Medical bills pile up. You can't work. Insurance companies send adjusters trained to minimize your claim. You need a personal injury lawyer in Miami who fights back — not one who settles fast for less than you're owed.

Babak Farohideh brings the same relentless trial instincts he developed in Miami-Dade's criminal courts to every personal injury case. He is not afraid of insurance companies, corporations, or their lawyers. He goes to trial when necessary — and that willingness changes what they offer at the table.

Types of Cases

Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Car Accidents

Miami's roads are among the most dangerous in the country. Whether you were rear-ended on I-95, hit by a distracted driver on Brickell, or injured in a multi-vehicle crash, you deserve full compensation — not a lowball settlement from an insurance adjuster whose job is to pay you as little as possible.

  • Rear-end & T-bone collisions
  • Rideshare accidents (Uber/Lyft)
  • Drunk & distracted driving
  • Hit-and-run crashes
  • Commercial truck accidents
  • Uninsured motorist claims

Slip & Fall

Property owners in Florida have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail — wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven pavement — and you get hurt, they are liable. Babak holds negligent property owners and businesses accountable.

  • Wet & slippery floors
  • Broken or uneven walkways
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Negligent security
  • Retail & grocery store accidents
  • Hotel & resort injuries

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is devastating. While no amount of money can undo that loss, holding the responsible party accountable — and securing your family's financial future — is an act of justice. Babak handles wrongful death cases with the gravity and compassion they demand.

  • Fatal car & truck accidents
  • Medical malpractice deaths
  • Workplace fatalities
  • Defective product deaths
  • Negligent security homicides
  • Nursing home neglect

Homeowners Insurance Claims

After a hurricane, tropical storm, or severe weather event, your homeowners insurer should be in your corner — but too often they are not. Insurers routinely underpay, delay, or outright deny legitimate claims for roof damage, water intrusion, and structural losses. Babak fights back against bad-faith insurance tactics and makes sure you receive every dollar your policy entitles you to.

  • Hurricane & storm damage claims
  • Roof damage & replacement disputes
  • Water intrusion & mold damage
  • Denied & underpaid claim appeals
  • Bad-faith insurance litigation
  • Public adjuster disputes

All past and future medical bills — ER visits, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and ongoing care.

Lost Wages

Income you lost while recovering, plus diminished earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to work long-term.

Pain & Suffering

Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life.

Property Damage

Repair or replacement of your vehicle and any other personal property damaged in the incident.

Punitive Damages

Family Law

You Deserve an Attorney
Who Fights for Your Family

Family law matters are unlike any other. The decisions made in these cases — where your children live, how your assets are divided, what your life looks like on the other side — are deeply personal and permanently consequential. You need an attorney who understands that, and who will fight for the outcome your family deserves.

Babak Farohideh approaches every family law case with the same tenacity he brings to the courtroom — combined with the empathy and discretion these situations demand. He will be honest with you about your options, protect what matters most, and stand beside you every step of the way.

Areas of Practice

Family Law Cases We Handle

Divorce

Ending a marriage is one of the most difficult decisions a person can make. Whether your divorce is uncontested or highly contested, Babak guides you through every step — protecting your assets, your rights, and your future — with clarity and compassion.

  • Division of marital assets & debts
  • High-asset divorce

  • International divorce matters

Your children are your priority — and they are ours too. Florida courts focus on the best interests of the child. Babak fights to protect your parental rights and build a custody arrangement that puts your children first, whether through negotiation or in the courtroom.

  • Parenting plans & time-sharing
  • Primary & shared custody
  • Relocation disputes
  • Parental rights modifications
  • Emergency custody orders
  • International custody matters

Alimony & Support

Florida law recognizes several types of alimony — bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, and permanent. Whether you are seeking support or contesting an unfair award, Babak ensures the outcome reflects the true financial picture of your marriage.

  • Alimony negotiation & litigation
  • Modification of existing awards
  • Termination of alimony
  • Child support calculations

  • Prenuptial agreement drafting
  • Postnuptial agreements
  • Asset & property protection
  • Business interest protection

Know Your Rights

Your Rights in Florida Family Law

Florida family law has specific rules that govern how courts handle divorce, custody, and support. Understanding your rights is the first step to protecting them.

Equitable Distribution

Florida is an equitable distribution state — marital assets and debts are divided fairly, but not necessarily 50/50. Courts consider the length of the marriage, each spouse's contributions, and economic circumstances.

No-Fault Divorce

Florida is a no-fault divorce state. You do not need to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce — only that the marriage is irretrievably broken. This simplifies the process but does not eliminate the need for skilled legal representation.

Best Interests of the Child

Florida courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like each parent's ability to provide stability, the child's relationship with each parent, and the child's own preferences (depending on age).

Alimony Reform

Florida's alimony laws have evolved significantly. Courts now weigh the standard of living during the marriage, the duration of the marriage, and each spouse's financial resources and earning capacity when determining support.
