Injured in Aventura? We Can Help.
Templer & Hirsch is an Aventura firm. Our office is at 2750 NE 185th Street, Suite 305, and we have practiced from this part of northeast Miami-Dade for more than thirty-five years. We handle Aventura car and pedestrian crashes, condominium and retail premises claims, wrongful death, and federal Defense Base Act and maritime matters nationwide.
Biscayne Boulevard and the Aventura Mall Traffic Pattern
Aventura’s crash volume is dominated by a short stretch of Biscayne Boulevard (US-1) between Ives Dairy Road and the county line. The concentration of retail, the mall’s multiple entrances, and the William Lehman Causeway interchange put an unusual number of turning and merging conflicts into a two-mile segment. Country Club Drive, which loops through the residential towers, has its own pattern involving pedestrians, cyclists and the recreational path that shares the roadway. Because so much Aventura traffic is visitor traffic, we see a high share of crashes involving rental vehicles, ride-hail drivers and out-of-state motorists, which affects which insurance policy actually responds.
Condominium and Retail Premises Injuries
Aventura is built vertically, and the premises claims reflect that. Common-element falls, garage lighting and surface conditions, elevator incidents, pool deck injuries and building security failures all turn on the same threshold question: which entity was responsible for the specific area, the association, the unit owner, a management company or a contractor. Retail premises claims at the mall and surrounding centers add a second layer, because the tenant, the property owner and the operating company frequently each carry separate coverage and each points at the others.
The Federal Practice Behind the Local Office
Although we are physically an Aventura firm, a large share of our work is federal and national rather than local. Templer & Hirsch represents civilian contractors injured overseas under the Defense Base Act, maritime and Longshore workers, Jones Act seamen, and offshore and oil rig workers, in claims that arise anywhere in the country. Clients frequently find us for a Defense Base Act or Longshore matter and never set foot in Aventura. Local injury clients get the same office and the same attorneys.

Aventura Injury Claims: Common Questions
- Where exactly is your Aventura office?
- 2750 NE 185th Street, Suite 305, Aventura, FL 33180. You can reach us at 305-937-2700 or info@templerhirsch.com. Consultations are free, and we can begin by phone if coming in is inconvenient.
- I was hit by a rideshare driver on Biscayne Boulevard. Which insurance pays?
- It depends on what the driver’s app was doing at the moment of impact. Rideshare companies carry tiered coverage: one level when the app is off, another when the driver is waiting for a request, and a much higher level when a ride is accepted or a passenger is aboard. Establishing the app status through trip records is often the difference between a small policy and a large one.
- Do you handle Defense Base Act cases from the Aventura office?
- Yes, and nationwide. Defense Base Act and Longshore claims are federal and are heard before administrative law judges under the U.S. Department of Labor, so your location does not limit representation. We handle these claims for contractors and maritime workers across the country.
