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 & Injury 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, Motorcycle & Bicycle Accidents
South Florida’s busy roads, including I-95, the Florida Turnpike, US-1, and Atlantic Avenue, see thousands of accidents every year. Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision, a T-bone crash at an intersection, or a sideswipe on the highway, 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, and reckless lane changes. If you have been hurt in Delray Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, or anywhere in the area, our car accident lawyers are ready to take your call.
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.
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.
Our truck accident lawyers in Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens have extensive experience handling claims involving semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, delivery trucks, tanker trucks, dump trucks, and other commercial vehicles. 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, or a trucking company that cut corners on safety, Steinberg Law has the resources to take on large trucking corporations and their insurers.
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.
Florida Personal Injury FAQs
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Delray Beach or Palm Beach Gardens?

At Steinberg Law, P.A., we can step in right away to protect your rights and help you build a strong claim.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault in my accident?

To prove negligence, we must show the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injury as a result. Our firm gathers medical records, accident reports, witness testimony, and expert opinions to support your claim.
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.
Is it worth hiring a personal injury attorney for a minor accident?
Even if the accident seems minor, insurance companies may try to minimize your payout. At Steinberg Law, P.A., we offer free consultations to help you determine whether legal representation will improve your outcome.

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we win your case.
