Why Choose Steinberg Law, P.A.?

When you hire Steinberg Law, P.A., you are not just getting a law firm. You are getting Brett Steinberg, a South Florida native and trial-tested attorney who has spent his entire career fighting for people when the stakes are highest.

Brett founded Steinberg Law with a simple belief: injured people deserve a lawyer who actually knows their name, answers their calls, and is willing to walk into a courtroom if that is what it takes. This is not a high-volume firm that churns through cases and pushes quick settlements. Every client works directly with Brett and his team, receives regular updates on their case, and gets an honest assessment of what their claim is worth.

That approach has produced real results. Since 2014, Brett has recovered over $25 million in verdicts and settlements for injured clients across South Florida. His trial record speaks for itself. Early in his career, he assisted in a mesothelioma asbestos exposure trial that resulted in a $24,170,000 verdict for the plaintiff. More recently, Brett took a sexual assault case to trial against a recovery center after the defense offered just $20,000 to settle. The jury returned a verdict of $2,600,000. That is the difference a lawyer who is willing to go to trial makes.

Brett’s courtroom instincts were sharpened long before he opened his own firm. After graduating cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law, he started his legal career as an Assistant Public Defender in Miami-Dade County, where he tried over 25 cases to verdict and handled hundreds of criminal matters. During that time, he successfully argued a motion to suppress evidence that was ultimately upheld by the United States Supreme Court. That foundation in criminal trial work gave Brett something many personal injury attorneys lack: the ability to read a courtroom, connect with a jury, and stay composed under pressure.

Today, Brett focuses exclusively on personal injury, representing clients in motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle and trucking collisions, slip and falls, cruise ship and maritime injuries, sexual assault, product liability, and negligent security cases throughout Florida. He is “AV” rated by Martindale-Hubbell, a distinction reserved for attorneys with the highest ethical standards and professional ability. He has been recognized as a Florida Super Lawyer every year since 2015, holds a 10.0 Superb rating on AVVO, and a 10.0 rating on Justia.

With offices in both Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens, Steinberg Law serves clients across Palm Beach County and throughout the state. Brett is admitted to practice in all Florida State Courts and the United States District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida, and he is an active member of the Florida Bar, the Palm Beach County Justice Association, and the Florida Justice Association.

Every personal injury case we take is handled on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe us nothing unless we win your case. If you have been injured and need a lawyer who will treat your case like it matters, because it does, call Steinberg Law, P.A. for a free consultation.

South Florida Accident Lawyers Serving Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach

Steinberg Law, P.A. represents injured victims across a wide range of accident and injury claims. No matter how your injury occurred, our attorneys have the experience and resources to pursue full and fair compensation. We regularly handle the following types of cases from our Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens offices:

Car Accidents in Delray Beach & Palm Beach County

South Florida’s busy roads, including I-95, the Florida Turnpike, US-1, Atlantic Avenue, Military Trail, Congress Avenue, and Glades Road, see thousands of accidents every year. Palm Beach County consistently ranks among the most dangerous counties in the state for traffic fatalities, and drivers in Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach Gardens face hazards ranging from congested intersections to high-speed highway merges every single day.

Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision on Linton Boulevard, a T-bone crash at an intersection along Federal Highway, a sideswipe accident on I-95, or a head-on collision caused by a wrong-way driver, our team can help. We represent drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians who have been injured due to another party’s negligence, including distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, texting and driving, running red lights, and reckless lane changes. Our Delray Beach car accident lawyers also handle hit and run accidents, rollover crashes, multi-vehicle pileups, and single vehicle accidents caused by road defects or debris.

Certain types of collisions cause particularly severe injuries. Intersection accidents, including left turn collisions, T-bone crashes, and red light violations, are among the most common causes of serious injury in Palm Beach County. Speeding accidents on roads like I-95, the Turnpike, and Military Trail often result in catastrophic outcomes because of the forces involved at highway speeds. Our Delray Beach speeding accident lawyers and reckless driving accident attorneys have extensive experience building claims around these high-impact crashes.

If you were hurt by a drunk driver or a driver under the influence, you may be entitled to punitive damages in addition to standard compensation. Our Delray Beach DUI accident lawyers pursue every available avenue of recovery to hold impaired drivers fully accountable.

Motorcycle & Bicycle Accidents

Motorcycle and bicycle riders are especially vulnerable on Florida roads. Without the protection of an enclosed vehicle, even a low-speed collision can result in broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. Our motorcycle accident lawyers understand the unique challenges riders face and will work to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Florida’s year-round riding season means motorcyclists and cyclists share the road with heavy traffic in every season. Dangerous stretches like A1A, US-1 through downtown Delray Beach, PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, and the narrow lanes along Dixie Highway are common sites for motorcycle and bicycle crashes. Drivers who fail to check blind spots, make unsafe left turns, or open car doors into bike lanes cause preventable injuries every week throughout Palm Beach County.

Pedestrian, E-Bike & E-Scooter Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are one of the fastest-growing categories of traffic injuries in South Florida. Florida ranks as one of the deadliest states in the nation for pedestrians, and Palm Beach County is no exception. Crosswalk violations, distracted drivers, and poorly lit intersections along roads like Atlantic Avenue, US-1, and Congress Avenue put pedestrians at serious risk every day. Whether you were struck while crossing the street, walking through a parking lot, or jogging along a roadway, our Delray Beach pedestrian accident lawyers fight to hold negligent drivers responsible.

The rise of e-bikes and electric scooters has added a new and dangerous dimension to South Florida roads and sidewalks. E-bike riders travel at speeds that make collisions with cars, trucks, and pedestrians far more serious than traditional bicycle crashes. Electric scooter riders face similar risks, especially along busy corridors in downtown Delray Beach, Mizner Park in Boca Raton, and the commercial areas of Palm Beach Gardens. Many of these accidents are caused by drivers who fail to yield to smaller vehicles, open doors into bike lanes, or make right turns without checking for riders in adjacent lanes. Our Delray Beach electric scooter accident lawyers help victims of these crashes recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation.

Pedestrian and e-bike accidents at night are particularly common and particularly deadly in Palm Beach County. Many major roads lack adequate lighting, sidewalks, or protected crossings, forcing walkers and riders into dangerous conditions after dark. If you or a loved one was injured as a pedestrian, e-bike rider, or electric scooter operator due to a negligent driver or unsafe road conditions, Steinberg Law has the experience to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Collisions involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, and other commercial trucks are among the most devastating accidents on Florida roads. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles means that occupants of passenger cars often suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries. Truck accident cases also involve complex liability issues. The truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, and the vehicle manufacturer may all share fault.

Palm Beach County’s position along the I-95 corridor and the Florida Turnpike means that tractor-trailers, tanker trucks, flatbed trucks, and delivery vehicles travel through the area around the clock. Commercial truck traffic is especially heavy near the interchanges at Linton Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue, PGA Boulevard, and the Glades Road exits, where merging passenger vehicles and large trucks create dangerous conditions. Accidents involving semi-trucks on these stretches of highway frequently result in multi-vehicle pileups, jackknife crashes, and truck rollovers that cause life-altering injuries.

Our Delray Beach truck accident lawyers have extensive experience handling claims involving every type of commercial vehicle. That includes 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, delivery trucks from companies like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS, as well as dump trucks, cement trucks, tanker trucks, garbage trucks, flatbed trucks, box trucks, and wide load vehicles. We also handle accidents involving fuel tankers, hazmat trucks, crane trucks, moving trucks, tow trucks, fire trucks, and USPS mail trucks.

We investigate driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data to build the strongest possible case. Whether the crash involved driver fatigue, improper loading, brake failure, tire blowouts, or a trucking company that cut corners on safety, Steinberg Law has the resources to take on large trucking corporations and their insurers. Our Delray Beach jackknife truck accident lawyers and truck rollover accident attorneys understand the engineering and regulatory issues that set these cases apart from standard auto accident claims.

Rideshare, Bus & Public Transit Accidents

The growth of Uber and Lyft throughout Palm Beach County has led to an increase in rideshare-related accidents. Whether you were a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, a driver struck by a rideshare operator, or a pedestrian hit by an Uber or Lyft driver, the insurance and liability issues in these cases can be complicated. Our Delray Beach rideshare accident lawyers know how to navigate the multiple insurance policies involved and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf. We also represent victims of bus accidents involving Palm Tran, school buses, and private charter vehicles.

Slip & Fall and Premises Liability

Property owners in Florida have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so, whether through wet floors, broken staircases, poor lighting, uneven walkways, or inadequate security, they can be held liable for injuries that result. Whether your injury happened in Delray Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, or elsewhere in the county, our slip and fall attorneys help victims recover compensation from negligent property owners, businesses, and property management companies.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is one of life’s most devastating experiences. Florida’s wrongful death statute allows surviving family members to seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost financial support, and the emotional pain of their loss. Our wrongful death attorneys serve families across South Florida from our Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens offices, handling these sensitive cases with compassion and determination to ensure that families receive the justice and financial support they need.

Florida Cruise Ship Injury Lawyers

South Florida is the cruise capital of the world, with millions of passengers departing each year from Port Everglades, PortMiami, and Port Canaveral. While cruises are meant to be relaxing vacations, accidents and injuries happen more often than most people realize. Cruise ship injury cases are legally complex. They typically fall under federal maritime law and are governed by the terms of the cruise line’s passenger ticket contract, which often includes strict deadlines and venue requirements.

Steinberg Law, P.A. is one of the few personal injury firms in the region with deep experience handling Florida cruise ship injury claims. Our attorneys understand the unique legal landscape of maritime personal injury cases and know how to navigate the special rules that apply to lawsuits against cruise lines.

Common Cruise Ship Injuries We Handle

Cruise ship injuries can occur in many ways, and cruise lines have a duty to keep passengers and crew members safe. We represent clients injured in the following types of cruise ship incidents:

Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents: Wet pool decks, slippery dining room floors, poorly maintained staircases, and uneven surfaces throughout the ship are frequent causes of passenger injuries. Our cruise ship slip & fall lawyers hold cruise lines accountable when their negligence causes these preventable accidents.

Sexual Assault & Violence: Tragically, sexual assaults and violent crimes do occur on cruise ships. Cruise lines have a responsibility to provide adequate security, properly screen employees, and respond appropriately to reports of criminal behavior. Our Florida cruise ship sexual assault attorneys fight for survivors and hold cruise lines responsible for failing to protect their passengers.

Crew Member Injuries: Cruise ship crew members who are injured on the job may have rights under maritime law, including the Jones Act and the doctrine of maintenance and cure. Our crew member injury lawyers help injured workers pursue the compensation they are entitled to.

Shore Excursion Injuries: Many passengers are injured during shore excursions organized or promoted by the cruise line. Depending on the circumstances, the cruise line may bear some responsibility for injuries sustained during these activities.

Claims Against Major Cruise Lines

We have experience handling injury claims against all of the major cruise lines operating out of Florida, including Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, and MSC Cruises. Each cruise line has its own set of contractual terms and legal strategies, and our attorneys know how to counter them. Because the major cruise corporations are headquartered in Miami-Dade County, nearly every case must be filed in Miami courts pursuant to the forum selection clauses in the ticket contract. Our Miami cruise ship injury attorneys handle these cases in both state and federal court.

If you or a loved one has been injured on a cruise ship, it is critical to act quickly. Most cruise line ticket contracts require written notice of your claim within six months and require that any lawsuit be filed within one year, which is far shorter than Florida’s standard personal injury statute of limitations. Contact Steinberg Law, P.A. immediately to protect your rights.

Not Getting the Attention Your Case Deserves? You Can Switch Firms.

If your case has stalled, your calls aren’t returned, or you’re being pushed toward a fast settlement instead of the right one, Florida law gives you the right to change lawyers — at any stage, for any reason.

A Case That Isn’t Moving Is a Warning Sign

Serious personal injury cases — trucking collisions, maritime and cruise ship injuries, premises liability claims — take real investigative work: accident reconstruction, medical record development, liability analysis, and often expert testimony. When a firm doesn’t have the bandwidth or the trial experience to do that work, cases stall, or worse, get pushed toward a quick settlement that doesn’t reflect what actually happened to you.

If any of this sounds familiar, it may be time for a second opinion:

• You can’t get a straight answer about where your case stands or who is actually working on it.
• Months have passed with no visible progress — no records requested, no depositions scheduled, no investigation.
• You’re being steered toward accepting an offer before anyone has explained what your claim is really worth.
• You were promised personal attention and instead you’re one of hundreds of files being handled by a paralegal you’ve never spoken to.

How Steinberg Law Handles Cases Differently

At Steinberg Law, an experienced attorney personally handles depositions and mediations — they are not reviewing your case from a summary someone else wrote. Our practice is built around litigation, not volume: trucking accidents, maritime and cruise ship injuries, premises liability, and workers’ compensation subrogation, with active cases in Florida state court and the U.S. District Court for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida.

That means when we take over a case, we’re not just picking up where an intake-focused firm left off — we’re evaluating it the way we’d evaluate a case we intend to try.

Yes, You Can Switch Firms Mid-Case in Florida

Under Rule 4-1.16 of the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct, a client can discharge their attorney at any time, for any reason — including while a lawsuit is already pending. You don’t need your current firm’s permission, and in most cases you don’t need a judge’s permission either.

What that actually looks like in practice:

• You won’t pay a full fee twice. In a contingency fee case, the outgoing firm’s fee is generally capped at the value of the work it performed (quantum meruit) or the original fee — whichever is less — and it’s paid out of your eventual recovery, not out of your pocket.
• You don’t start from zero. New counsel steps in, reviews the file, and builds on the work already done. There may be a short transition period, but a well-handled switch doesn’t reset your claim.
• The file belongs to you. Your prior firm is required to turn over your complete case file.
• Timing is rarely a bar. Whether you’re in early negotiations or deep into litigation, you generally retain the right to change counsel — even with a settlement offer already on the table.

What Happens When You Switch to Steinberg Law

1. A Direct Conversation With Brett — We review where your case actually stands and give you an honest read on whether switching firms will help — no pressure, no obligation.
2. We Manage the Transition — Notice to prior counsel, the file transfer, and any necessary updates to the court or insurance carrier are handled on your behalf.
3. Immediate Case Assessment — Once we have your file, we identify what needs attention right away and give you a clear, plain-English plan for what comes next.

If you’re questioning whether your case is being handled the way it should be, call Steinberg Law for a free, confidential second opinion.

What if my injuries from the accident don’t show up until later?

Delayed symptoms are common in accidents. If you notice new or worsening pain, seek medical attention and document everything. Our team can help you revise your claim to reflect ongoing injuries and future treatment needs.
