The Investigator Miami Injury Firms Send to Brickell
Brickell packs more premises liability into a square mile than anywhere in Florida. Sixty-story towers with pools, gyms, and balconies. Parking garages with ramps and gates. Valet stands on every block. Construction cranes over half the skyline. Rooftop bars, rideshare pickups, scooters, and a pedestrian crush on Brickell Avenue and South Miami Avenue every night of the week.
When a claim comes out of any of that, the defense’s first move is to deny liability and wait for the evidence to expire. Tower cameras overwrite in days. Valet tickets disappear. The loose tile gets replaced. Wasser Investigations has worked personal injury cases for South Florida attorneys since 1985, and the value is speed on the front end. Travis Wasser takes the call, and within days he has photographed the scene, pulled the incident reports, sent preservation demands, and talked to the people who saw it.
Where Injuries Happen in Brickell
Slip, trip, and fall claims in condo common areas, hotel lobbies, and the retail levels of Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village. Garage and valet incidents, including pedestrians struck on ramps and vehicles damaged or stolen from valet custody. Pedestrian, cyclist, and scooter collisions on Brickell Avenue, South Miami Avenue, and the Brickell Avenue Bridge. Rideshare crashes. Construction site injuries to workers and to passersby. Elevator, balcony, and pool deck injuries. Negligent security cases in towers, garages, and nightlife venues where an assault or robbery happened on a property that skipped the lighting, the guard, or the working access control.
Attorneys First. Injured People Who Are Still Choosing a Lawyer, Too.
Your Boots on the Ground Blocks From the Courthouse
You send the intake. We send back a scene file, a witness list with signed statements, a preservation letter log, and ownership records on the defendant, ready for the demand. When the case goes to the Dade County Courthouse across the river, we testify.
You Were Hurt and Nobody Is Taking Responsibility
If you have not hired an attorney yet, call anyway. We will tell you what evidence is at risk right now and, if it helps, refer you to injury lawyers we have worked with for years.
The Work Behind a Winning Demand Package
Scene documentation
Photographs, measurements, and video of the hazard before it gets fixed. We return at the same hour the injury happened so the lighting and crowds match what your client faced.
Witness location and statements
Doormen, valets, bartenders, other residents, the contractor who has since been let go. We find them, interview them, and take signed, dated statements before memories fade or the association’s insurer gets to them.
Video preservation
Tower lobbies, garages, elevators, retail tenants, and city cameras. We identify every source and get preservation demands out fast. In Brickell, the useful footage is often on a camera the defendant does not control.
Ownership and management chain
Who actually owns and operates the property: the association, the management company, the garage operator, the valet contractor, the security vendor. Each is a potential defendant, and each has its own insurance.
Negligent security history
Prior police calls, prior incidents, and the security the building promised in its rules and marketing versus what was there. We pull Miami PD and Miami-Dade CAD reports and build the timeline that shows the property knew.
Defendant background
Prior claims, prior suits, corporate ownership, and coverage.

- Signed witness statements and contact information

- Incident reports, CAD logs, code enforcement, and association records

Florida Gave You Two Years. A Lobby Camera Gives You a Week.
Since the 2023 tort reform, most Florida negligence claims carry a two-year statute of limitations. Brickell towers commonly keep video for seven to thirty days. Marc Rapaport, a partner at Cole, Scott & Kissane, has said our surveillance helped his firm reach settlements on multiple personal injury matters. The common thread was getting there first.
Questions From Attorneys and Injured Clients
The building says it has no video of the fall.
Most Brickell towers have dozens of cameras. We send the preservation demand, identify the security vendor, and document the response. A missing recording after a demand is a spoliation argument.
Who is liable for an injury in a condo common area?
Usually the association and its management company, and sometimes a contractor or vendor. We identify every entity and its insurer.
What counts as negligent security in Florida?
A property owner who knew or should have known crime was foreseeable and failed to take reasonable steps. We prove foreseeability with prior police calls and the failure with photographs and witness statements.
Can you find a witness who left before police arrived?
Often, yes. Between lobby footage, rideshare records, building staff, and door knocking, we locate people who never gave a name.
How fast can you get to a scene?
Same day. Our office on Ponce de Leon Boulevard is fifteen minutes from Brickell.
Liability Denied? We Build the Case.
Send the intake or call Travis directly. We will tell you what evidence is still alive and what it takes to get it.
