Hurt in Miami Gardens? We hold the negligent accountable.
A crash on NW 27th Avenue, US-441 or I-95. A shooting at an apartment complex that skimped on security. An injury at a stadium event that was badly managed. Aaron A. Karger is a personal injury trial lawyer who handles these cases every day, a short drive east of the Gardens in North Miami Beach.
Hurt in Miami Gardens? Start here.
Miami Gardens is home to more than 110,000 people, Hard Rock Stadium and some of the county’s busiest corridors — NW 27th Avenue, US-441/State Road 7, Miami Gardens Drive, I-95, the Palmetto and the Turnpike. It is also a city where too many apartment complexes, gas stations and shopping plazas cut corners on lighting, gates, cameras and guards, and residents pay the price. If one of those failures hurt you or someone you love, you do not have to take on a property owner or an insurance company alone.
The consultation is free and confidential. You pay no attorney’s fees and no costs unless we recover for you.

Hurt at Hard Rock Stadium or a big event?
Miami Gardens hosts some of the biggest events in the country — Dolphins and Hurricanes games, the Orange Bowl, the Miami Grand Prix, major concerts. With big crowds come real legal duties: venue operators, promoters and their security contractors must plan for crowd control, lighting, maintenance and known risks, inside the venue and across its parking lots. When they do not, people get hurt in ways that were preventable.
These claims are rarely against another fan. They are brought against the companies responsible for keeping the event safe — and evidence like incident reports, surveillance video and staffing plans disappears fast after an event, so talk to a lawyer quickly.
Why Miami Gardens calls Aaron
Aaron A. Karger is a former Miami-Dade Assistant State Attorney who tried cases for the State before dedicating his practice to injury victims. That prosecutor’s training — building a case witness by witness, record by record — is now aimed at negligent property owners, careless drivers and the insurance companies behind them.
Aaron has been named a Florida Super Lawyer every year since 2018, holds a 5.0 rating on Google across 165 reviews, and his cases have been covered by NBC 6, WPLG Local 10, CBS Miami, WSVN 7 and the Miami Herald. This is a small firm by design: when you call, you talk to Aaron — not a call center.

Miami Gardens injury FAQ
What does it cost to hire Aaron?
Nothing up front. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency: no attorney’s fees or costs unless we recover for you. The consultation is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file an injury claim?
For most negligence claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, Florida’s deadline is two years. Some cases have different rules, and evidence like surveillance video can disappear much sooner, so call as soon as you can.
I was shot or assaulted at my apartment complex in Miami Gardens. Do I have a case?
You may — and being a tenant does not stop you. If the owner knew about prior crime or dangerous conditions and failed to take reasonable security measures — working locks and gates, adequate lighting, cameras, trained staff — the owner can be held civilly liable for your injuries. The claim is against the property owner, not the attacker, so it does not depend on an arrest or a conviction.
I was in a car accident in Miami Gardens. Why does the 14-day rule matter?
Florida’s PIP law generally requires you to see a doctor within 14 days of a crash to preserve your no-fault medical benefits. Get checked even if you feel okay — then get legal advice before giving any statement to an insurance company.
Who is responsible if I was hurt at a stadium or event?
Potentially the venue operator, the event promoter, a security contractor or a maintenance company — often more than one. Florida law requires event operators to take reasonable steps to protect guests from foreseeable harm, from crowd surges to parking-lot assaults. A prompt investigation identifies every responsible company and insurance policy before the evidence disappears.
