If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver in Miami, you deserve experienced legal representation. The Miami drunk driving accident lawyers at the Law Office of Alexander Alvarez, PA, are ready to advocate on your behalf.
Alexander Alvarez has spent more than 30 years advocating for personal injury victims across Florida and has gained a deep understanding of how insurance companies operate and how to pursue the full amount of compensation you are owed. Drunk driving crashes are entirely preventable. When a driver chooses to get behind the wheel impaired, they must be held fully accountable.
Every day in the U.S., 32 people are killed by drunk drivers, including Miami residents. Florida reported over 6,000 impaired crashes in 2023 alone.
Miami’s vibrant nightlife and year-round tourism make it one of Florida’s most active cities, and unfortunately, one where drunk driving accidents occur at alarming rates. Florida law sets the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit at 0.08%, but impairment can begin even before that threshold.
Drunk drivers suffer from slowed reaction times, impaired judgement, reduced coordination, and blurred vision. The results of these crashes can be catastrophic, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, internal injuries, and even wrongful death.
Victims of drunk driving accidents face not only these devastating physical injuries but also mounting medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. You should not have to bear these burdens alone. At the Law Office of Alexander Alvarez, PA, we believe that every victim deserves personalized, compassionate legal support.
Successfully pursuing a drunk driving injury claim requires a thorough investigation, a command of Florida personal injury law, and skillful negotiation with insurance carriers. Attorney Alvarez brings all of these capabilities to every case his firm handles. When you hire our firm, we can:

If you are involved in a drunk driving accident in Miami, your priority is safety. You should immediately call 911 if you are able, and if you are safe to do so, document the scene. This means taking photos of vehicle positions, damage, and road conditions. Even if you do not feel as if you were seriously injured, you should seek medical attention because Florida laws require this for certain benefits.
Yes, you can file a legal claim after a drunk driving accident in Florida, though the state’s no-fault laws initially require you to use your personal injury protection (PIP) for the first $10,000 of medical bills. To file for additional damages like pain and suffering, your injuries must meet a threshold for serious injury, such as permanent disability or significant scarring.
In Florida, being partially at fault for a drunk driving accident doesn’t bar you from seeking compensation automatically, but it does trigger the state’s modified comparative negligence rule. Under this law, you can recover damages only if your share of the responsibility is 50% or less. Your total compensation is then reduced by the amount you were found to be at fault.
In Miami, you generally have two years after the accident to file a personal injury claim against a drunk driver. If the accident resulted in a fatality, the statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is also two years from the date of death. If you miss these deadlines, you would likely be barred from seeking compensation, so it is recommended that you hire a drunk driving accident lawyer as soon as possible.
Time matters in your legal case. Evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories fade, and Florida’s statute of limitations places strict deadlines on when you can file a claim. Do not wait to protect your rights; contact the Law Office of Alexander Alvarez, PA, on SW 107th Ave. in Miami today.
