- DUI/DWI
- Wrongful DeathA wrongful death is a preventable death due to someone’s negligence, misconduct, or carelessness. For instance, if a chef serves spoiled food that causes a diner to die from food poisoning, the cook could be liable for a wrongful death claim. Another example is a motorist who causes the death of another driver, pedestrian, cyclist, or passenger due to impaired driving.
- Traffic ViolationsReckless or aggravated driving: Aggressive drivers engage in dangerous actions like speeding and cutting other drivers off. This behavior puts everyone on the road at risk of a crash.
- Workers CompensationAccidents can happen while you’re hard at work. Falls, sprains, and illnesses can all occur due to work-related issues, leaving you unable to gain income while you recover. The burden of proof may fall on you and your medical team to show that your health issues came from work.
- Premises LiabilityA general expectation exists that you will not suffer an injury when you enter a business property. The business or property owner has a duty of care to remove known hazards and ensure your safety. The Law Office of Dean M. Gettis can help if you sustain an injury due to another party’s negligence.

- Property DamageBoating accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries or even death.

- Personal InjuryNo one ever plans for an injury. When you get hurt due to someone else’s negligence, you need legal representation from an experienced personal injury lawyer in North Miami to help you seek maximum compensation.
