Bernstein & Maryanoff is a well-established personal injury law
firm with offices in Miami and across Florida. With a staff of
approximately 40 people, including six lawyers and 34 support
personnel, we have the legal resources to handle catastrophic personal
injury and wrongful death cases. Our firm has substantial financial
resources, enabling us to invest the amount of money it takes to help
you get the maximum recovery for your losses.
Our firm handles every type of injury and accident
case, using negotiation and litigation tactics effectively. Our lawyers
have handled cases throughout Florida as well as other states such as
Georgia, Nevada, and Tennessee. As a rule, our lawyers try our own
cases rather than refer them to other law firms. Approximately a third
of our cases come to us as referrals from prior satisfied clients. We
look forward to your returning our client satisfaction survey at the
conclusion of your case.
One of the differences between our law firm and other personal
injury law firms is our depth of trial experience. Our legal staff
includes lawyers who have trained under some of the best litigators in
South Florida. Our lawyers have obtained numerous multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements.
Attorney Jack Bernstein is the strategist behind every personal
injury case we litigate. Mr. Bernstein works closely with each of our
attorneys to hire the right investigators and ensure that all evidence
is preserved. We hire experts, as needed, to properly present your case
in pre-trial settlement conferences and, if necessary, in jury trials.
Mr. Bernstein also participates in many of the mediation and settlement
conferences as your case progresses toward trial.

You need to prove that Florida elder abuse laws have been violated when you make a claim or bring a case, and this can be a challenge. You need to prove injuries were inflicted by nursing home staff and were not the result of a pre-existing condition.
Unfortunately, one does not need to read the papers or watch the news every day to be aware of the problem of nursing home abuse. Many people are becoming aware of what has been going on for decades, but was seldom reported in the past.
A Florida nursing home abuse attorney will first ask you the nature of your complaint or complaints. He or she might be able to recommend many other things you are entitled to in a civil suit.
