Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured by the negligent or intentional acts of a doctor, nurse, therapist, hospital personnel, or other healthcare provider. The consequences of medical malpractice injuries can be devastating, both financially and in terms of your lifestyle.


- Catastrophic Injuries

Personal injury claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured due to the negligence or intentional acts of others. When such acts cause injury to another person, the actions constitute a "tort" or a civil wrong that provides the basis for a lawsuit. If a court determines that a person is liable or legally responsible for injuring another, that person may be forced to pay the injured person compensatory damages.


- Automotive / Trucking Accidents

The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that 37,261 Americans were killed in car accidents in 2008.[1] Automotive and trucking accidents are particularly common in South Florida due to teen negligence, overloaded commercial vehicles, construction zones and widespread disregard for the rules of road.


- Premises Liability

The owners, operators and/or managers of a premises or property have a legal responsibility to maintain that property and to protect others from dangers or unsafe conditions on that property. If an accident occurs on another person's property, the owner, operator or manger may be responsible if his or her negligence caused the injury.


- Birth Injuries

If you are a parent and your child has suffered an injury at birth because of the negligence or carelessness of a nurse, doctor or other medical professional, you may have a lot of questions. At the law offices of Alan Goldfarb, P.A., we understand your anxiety. We have worked exclusively with personal injury victims for decades.


- Surgical Errors

When you need or decide to undergo surgery to address a medical condition, you always know that there are risks. One of the risks you shouldn't have to shoulder, though, is the risk that your condition will worsen or that you will suffer injury because of negligence on the part of the surgeon. When the careless act of a surgeon causes you injury, you want an experienced attorney to help protect your interests and get full and fair compensation for all your losses.


- Anesthesia Errors

If you or a loved one has suffered an unnecessary injury because of negligence in the use or application of an anesthetic, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests. Anesthesia errors are far more common than they should be, and the consequences can be devastating. You want an attorney who knows the law, medicine and science of anesthesia errors, one who has successfully helped others in similar circumstances.


- Postoperative Infections

When you go into the hospital for any type of surgery, you understand that there are risks. One of the risks you shouldn't have to bear is the risk that the surgery will go well, but the negligence of doctors or nurses will lead to post-operative infection. Most infections can be very aggressive and, if not addressed immediately, can wreak havoc on your health and even cause death.


- Emergency Room Errors

In an emergency room, simple acts of negligence can be costly, even deadly. When you have sought emergency medical treatment, only to suffer needless pain or worsening of your condition because of the careless acts of a medical professional, you want an experienced attorney to protect your rights and help you get full and fair compensation for your losses.


- Traumatic Brain Injuries

If you or a loved one has suffered brain injuries because of the carelessness of a medical professional, you want an experienced lawyer to help you get full and fair compensation for your losses. The consequences of a brain injury can be devastating, both financially and in terms of your lifestyle. Victims of brain injury often require round-the-clock attention, and may need significant long-term medical care.


- Maritime Law

Miami is the largest cruise ship port in the world and one of the largest and busiest commercial ports in the world. Every day hundreds of vessels maneuver through the waters of South Florida. Likewise, hundreds of vacationers board cruise ships in South Florida, expecting to have a safe and relaxing trip on the high seas. Due to this high volume of vessel activity, accidents are common.


- Products Liability / Defective Products

Product and vehicle malfunctions are the result of poor deign, quality, manufacturing or defect and can cause serious and severe injuries, including death. From simple household products to heavy machinery, it is vital that the manufacturers are forced to produce reasonably safe products. Many times companies may be required to redesign a particular product or to take a product off of the market.


- Construction / Job Site Accidents

Construction sites can be very dangerous if the proper precautions and safety regulations are not followed. Special federal and state laws, such as Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) laws, are put in place to protect the safety and health of construction workers. If these regulations are properly followed, many accidents can be avoided.


- Electrocution, Fire & Explosion Accidents

If you have been injured in an electrical, fire, explosion, or blasting accident or if one of your relatives was killed or injured in such an accident, you may need a personal injury law firm to help recover for wrongful death or catastrophic injuries. A successful outcome in fire, explosion, blasting or electrocution accident case requires an understanding of all of the various issues that may arise when an accident occurs.


- Aviation & Mass Transit Accidents

Although safety measures have improved greatly in the aviation industry since the birth of flight, aircrafts continue to crash, which often causes serious and severe consequences. Human error is responsible for a large percentage of aviation accidents. Therefore, individuals who have been injured in either a private or commercial aircraft, or who have lost a loved one in an aviation accident may be able to recover for such injuries or death.


- Commercial And Business Litigation

Commercial and business litigation involves multiple areas of the law, including, insurance, construction, real estate, corporate, contracts, fraud and other business areas. These disputes involve representing clients from a broad range of industries like the oil and gas, real estate, construction, information technology, food and beverage and telecommunications industries.


- Elder Abuse / Nursing Home Litigation

Each year hundreds of elder persons are abused, neglected and exploited by family members, professional caregivers and others. Many victims are people who are frail and vulnerable and cannot help themselves and depend on others to meet their most basic needs. Elder abuse occurs when someone knowingly or unknowingly causes harm or a risk of harm to an older adult.


- Toxic Tort

Catastrophic injuries and in severe cases, death may arise from the inhalation of harmful environmental toxins, such as mold, radon or asbestos. These cases may involve a "sick building," a negligent employer or exposure from a residence. Based on the degree of exposure coupled with the type of environmental contaminant a person is exposed to, the injuries vary and may take a significant time period to develop.
