A Client-Focused Approach to Personal Injury Claims
At Holzberg Legal, we believe that personal injury claims require an approach as unique as the individuals we represent. Personal injury cases have two key aspects:
- Your Needs Are Personal
Every client’s situation is different. That’s why we prioritize an individualized approach, ensuring that your case receives the proper attention, care, and strategy it deserves. We are here to listen, understand, and advocate for you. - Your Claim Is About You
Your injuries affect far more than your physical health—they impact your quality of life, your family, and your future needs. At Holzberg Legal, we focus on how your injuries have personally affected you, crafting a case that addresses not just medical expenses but also lost wages, emotional distress, and the long-term effects on your life.
This personalized, client-centered approach ensures that your claim reflects the full scope of your damages, both now and in the future.
Crewmember Rights Under the Jones Act
Crewmembers injured while working on ships, yachts, tugboats, or other vessels are entitled to protections under the Jones Act. This federal law ensures injured maritime workers can seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation (referred to as “cure”)
- Living expenses and wages while recovering (“maintenance”)
- Additional damages caused by negligence or unseaworthiness of the vessel
At Holzberg Legal, we are passionate about protecting the rights of crewmembers, ensuring they receive the compensation and care they deserve.

Auto Accidents and Car Crashes
Miami’s Dangerous Roads and Your Legal Rights
Miami, Florida and the greater South Florida area is a densely populated, high-traffic area. With a population including millions of people, our highways are overcrowded and insufficient, leading to traffic delays, frustration, and reckless driving. The rise in cell phone use and texting has only worsened the problem, making auto accidents an everyday occurrence.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car crash, you have the right to pursue a claim for compensatory damages. To recover, you must prove that the at-fault driver acted negligently, such as:
✔ Inattentive & Distracted Driving – Using a cell phone, eating, drinking, or failing to watch the road.
✔ Speeding & Reckless Driving – Ignoring speed limits and traffic conditions.
✔ Traffic Violations – Running stop signs, disregarding rights of way, and failing to obey signals.
✔ Driving While Impaired – Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
When another driver’s negligence causes injury to you or your family members, Holzberg Legal puts 40 years of experience to work to ensure you recover full and fair compensation.

Truck Accidents
The most serious accidents are caused by big commercial trucks and 18-wheelers. When was the last time you saw a UPS or FedEx truck darting through traffic, or an 18-wheeler speeding, weaving, and aggressively pushing to complete a trip? The slightest mistake by these drivers can result in catastrophic injuries or death due to their carelessness and reckless driving.
Why Are Truck Accidents So Dangerous?
The reason truck accidents are so devastating is clear:
✔ Massive Size & Velocity – Large commercial trucks are difficult to control, and when they lose control, the forces transfer directly to YOU and your loved ones.
✔ Driver Fatigue & Federal Violations – Truck drivers often exceed federal driving limits, push through exhaustion, and use stimulants or drugs to meet unrealistic delivery schedules.
✔ Employer Negligence – Trucking companies ignore safety regulations, failing to properly train and supervise drivers.
Holding Trucking Companies Accountable
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates trucking operations, including hours of service, maintenance requirements, and driver fitness. If a trucking company allows a driver to violate these rules, they are legally responsible for the driver’s negligence.
🚨 We aggressively investigate violations, secure critical black box data, obtain logbooks, GPS records, and maintenance reports, and build a winning case for you.
Premises Liability – Slip, Trip, and Fall | Negligent Security
Your Right to a Safe Environment
In Florida, property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition, promptly address hazards, and warn visitors of known dangers. When they fail in this duty, serious injuries—or even fatalities—can occur due to slip and trip accidents or inadequate security.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
At HOLZBERG LEGAL, we aggressively pursue claims against negligent property owners, including: ✔ Shopping Centers & Malls – Slippery floors, poor lighting, unsafe walkways.
✔ Apartment Complexes – Unmaintained stairways, broken handrails, security failures.
✔ Gas Stations & Parking Lots – Poorly maintained surfaces, inadequate security.
✔ Office Buildings & Businesses – Unsafe entryways, trip hazards, poorly marked obstacles.
✔ Bars & Restaurants – Spilled drinks, wet floors, lack of security personnel.
Negligent Security – Preventing Foreseeable Crimes
Property owners must take reasonable measures to prevent foreseeable crimes. If they fail to provide adequate security, they can be held liable when violent crimes occur, such as: ✔ Assaults & Muggings – Poor lighting, lack of security patrols, unsecured entryways.
✔ Sexual Assault & Rape – Failure to monitor high-risk areas or provide proper surveillance.
✔ Gun Violence & Stabbings – Ignoring crime trends or failing to take preventive action.
✔ Homicides & Wrongful Death – When businesses fail to protect customers and residents.
Justice for Serious Injuries
Victims of premises liability and negligent security often suffer life-altering injuries, including: ✔ Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – From falls or violent attacks.
✔ Spinal Cord Injuries & Paralysis – Resulting from falls or assaults.
✔ Broken Bones & Severe Fractures – From trip hazards and unsafe premises.
✔ Emotional & Psychological Trauma – PTSD, anxiety, and emotional distress from violent crimes.
Medical Malpractice
Fighting for Victims of Medical Malpractice
If you or a loved one has been a victim of malpractice by a doctor, hospital, or cruise ship physician, we can help. When you place your health in the hands of a medical professional, you trust them to provide competent and responsible care. However, when they act negligently, the consequences can be catastrophic—physically, emotionally, and financially.
Medical malpractice can leave you out of work for months or longer, while the negligent provider continues billing your insurance—even exhausting coverage—without taking the necessary steps to truly help you recover.
Why Choose Holzberg Legal?
Let an experienced Miami medical malpractice lawyer fight to obtain the financial compensation you deserve. Holzberg Legal, with over 40 years of experience, has the skills and knowledge required to navigate Florida’s complex medical malpractice laws, statutes, and procedural requirements. We have successfully handled cases involving:
✔ Emergency Room Mistakes
✔ Failure to Diagnose Cancer & Life-Threatening Diseases
✔ Laboratory & Radiology Errors
✔ Surgical Errors & Serious Medical Mistakes
✔ Overprescription of Medications
✔ Birth Injuries
✔ Chiropractic Manipulations Causing Strokes
✔ Failure to Diagnose & Treat Strokes
✔ Cruise Ship Medical Malpractice – Delayed or improper treatment, failure to transfer patients for advanced care.
Aggressive Trial Lawyers Fighting for You
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This strategy increases your leverage for a fair settlement and maximizes compensation. As a graduate of the Trial Lawyers College, Glenn J. Holzberg has the skills to tell your story to a jury, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.
Your Advocate Against Big Insurance & Corporate Interests
Personal injury law covers a wide variety of cases impacting individuals and families every day. Often, we go up against powerful insurance companies, corporations, and business owners—including Carnival Corporation, State Farm, and GEICO—who hire big law firms that only represent Fortune 500 companies.
When you’re seriously injured, you need the best legal representation to level the playing field.
How We Make Justice Affordable for You
✔ We work on contingency – You pay nothing unless we win your case.
✔ Corporate defendants pay lawyers hundreds of dollars per hour – You get top-tier legal representation without any upfront costs.
✔ We fight aggressively to hold negligent parties accountable and maximize your compensation.
