When something serious happens, you need lawyers who know how to handle complex cases and truly listen. At Graham Trial Lawyers PLLC, husband-and-wife team Thomas D. Graham and Megan Arnold guide you through maritime law, personal injury, and sexual abuse cases with care and a relentless focus on achieving the best possible outcome for you.
Our Areas of Practice
Maritime Law
Maritime Injuries
Maritime injuries can occur on vessels, at docks, or on offshore platforms, often far from immediate medical care. These cases involve unique federal laws and responsibilities. We help you understand your rights, investigate what went wrong, and pursue accountability so you can focus on recovery while we handle the legal complexities.
Maritime Crew Wrongful Deaths
Losing a loved one who worked at sea is devastating. Maritime law provides specific protections for crew members and their families, but these cases are complex. We guide you through your options, investigate employer negligence or unsafe conditions, and pursue justice with care, clarity, and respect for your family’s loss.
Boating & Yachting Accidents
Boating and yachting accidents can lead to serious injuries caused by operator negligence, unsafe conditions, or equipment failure. These cases often involve overlapping laws and multiple responsible parties. We help you understand what happened, identify who may be accountable, and take action to protect your rights and recovery.
Cruise Ship Injuries & Deaths
Cruise ship cases are governed by strict rules, short deadlines, and fine-print contracts that can affect your rights. Whether you were injured during a voyage or lost a loved one, we help you navigate these complexities, investigate what occurred, and pursue accountability against cruise lines and other responsible parties.
Cruise Ship Sexual Assaults
Sexual assault on a cruise ship is a deeply personal and traumatic experience, often complicated by jurisdictional challenges and corporate policies. We approach these cases with care and discretion, helping you understand your rights, preserve evidence, and hold cruise lines accountable for failures in safety, security, or response.
Offshore Injuries
Offshore workers face dangerous conditions on oil rigs, platforms, and vessels. When safety protocols fail, the consequences can be life-changing. These claims often involve specialized maritime laws. We help you understand your legal protections, investigate unsafe practices, and pursue accountability so you can focus on your recovery and future.
Sexual Assault & Violence
Sexual Assaults
Sexual assault can often happen in places where you should feel safe: schools, workplaces, churches, or businesses. These cases often involve institutional failures to prevent or respond to known risks. We help you understand your rights, investigate what went wrong, and pursue accountability with discretion and a trauma-informed approach.
Cruise Ship Sexual Assaults
Sexual assault on a cruise ship presents unique challenges, including jurisdiction issues and limited oversight at sea. Cruise lines still have a duty to protect passengers. We help you preserve evidence, understand reporting options, and pursue accountability for failures in security, hiring, or response while supporting you throughout the process.
Rideshare Sexual Assaults
Rideshare platforms must take reasonable steps to keep passengers safe. When assaults occur during an Uber or Lyft ride, questions often arise about screening, supervision, and corporate responsibility. We help you understand your legal options, investigate the circumstances, and pursue accountability against those responsible for failing to prevent harm.
Child Injuries
Teacher-on-Child Sexual Abuse
When a teacher abuses a child, it is a profound betrayal of trust and authority. You may feel shock, anger, or uncertainty about what comes next. In Miami, the law is clear: your child deserves protection, accountability, and a path forward grounded in truth and support.
Child-on-Child Sexual Assault
When sexual harm occurs between children, it is often minimized—but the impact can be lasting. In Miami, these cases require accountability. At Graham Trial Lawyers, we work to uncover the truth, protect your child, and pursue justice.
Coach-on-Child Sexual Assault
Demand accountability when trust is violated. When a coach exploits a child, it is a serious abuse of power. In Miami, these cases are often deliberate and concealed. You deserve lawyers who act decisively, uncover the truth, and pursue justice with care.
Child Wrongful Death
Losing a child due to someone else’s negligence is unimaginable. In Miami wrongful death cases, families deserve answers and support. Our lawyers help you understand what happened, identify responsibility, and pursue accountability.
School Bus Injuries
When your child boards a school bus, you expect them to be safe. When that trust is broken, the impact can be overwhelming. In Miami, these cases often involve complex liability. Our lawyers help uncover what happened and pursue accountability with care.
Sexual Abuse in Daycares
Trusting a daycare means trusting your child will be safe and cared for. When that trust is broken, the impact is devastating. In Miami, these cases often involve preventable failures. At Graham Trial Lawyers, we help families understand their rights and pursue accountability with clarity.
Child Abuse and Neglect in Daycare
Trusting a daycare should never come with fear. Yet abuse and neglect can happen, often going unnoticed until harm is done. In Miami, you deserve clear answers, real accountability, and lawyers who take your child’s story seriously and fight for their future.
Police & Private Security Misconduct
Negligent Security
Property owners have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to keep people safe. When hotels, apartments, or businesses ignore known risks, serious harm can follow. We help you understand how negligent security claims work, investigate prior incidents and safety failures, and pursue accountability for preventable violence and resulting injuries.
Assault, Battery & False Imprisonment
When private security crosses the line, using unnecessary force, detaining someone without justification, or escalating a situation, the consequences can be severe. These cases require careful analysis of policies, training, and conduct. We help you understand your rights, gather evidence, and pursue accountability for harm caused by improper or excessive actions.
Police Brutality & Excessive Force
Encounters with law enforcement should not result in unnecessary harm. When officers use excessive force or violate constitutional rights, the impact can be life-altering. These cases are complex and often heavily defended. We work to uncover the truth, explain your options, and pursue accountability with care and persistence.
Catastrophic Injury
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet accepted standards of care, leading to serious harm. These cases require careful review of records and expert analysis. We help you understand what went wrong, explain your options, and pursue accountability while guiding you through a complex and often overwhelming process.
Personal Injuries
Serious personal injuries can affect every part of your life: your health, your work, and your future. Whether caused by negligence, unsafe property conditions, or defective products, these cases require thorough investigation. We help you understand your rights, document your damages, and pursue accountability so you can focus on healing.
Wrongful Deaths
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is one of the hardest experiences a family can face. Wrongful death claims are about accountability and support for those left behind. We guide you through your legal options with care, helping you seek answers, pursue justice, and protect your family’s future.
Brain Injuries
A brain injury can change everything in an instant—how you think, move, and live. These cases are complex, often involving invisible, lasting harm. At Graham Trial Lawyers PLLC, we help you understand your rights and work to protect your future.
Premises Cases
When you’re injured on someone else’s property, the situation is rarely simple. In Miami, these cases often hinge on what was known, what should have been done, and how the injury occurred. At Graham Trial Lawyers PLLC, we guide you and pursue the best possible outcome.
Motor Vehicle Collisions
Car Collisions
Car collisions can lead to serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about what to do next. Insurance companies move quickly to limit what they pay. We help you understand your rights, investigate the circumstances of the crash, and pursue accountability against all possible liable parties so you can focus on your recovery and moving forward.
Truck Collisions
Truck collisions often involve severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. These cases can include multiple responsible parties, from drivers to trucking companies. We help you navigate complex regulations, examine safety practices, and pursue accountability for negligence that led to life-changing harm.
Uber™ Collisions
Rideshare collisions involve unique insurance policies that change depending on the driver’s status in the app. Determining coverage and responsibility can be fairly complicated. We help you understand how these claims work, investigate the circumstances, and pursue accountability so you can focus on recovery after an Uber-related crash.
Lyft™ Collisions
Lyft collisions raise similar complexities, including layered insurance coverage and questions about driver status at the time of the crash. These details matter. We help navigate the process, understand your legal options, and pursue accountability against responsible parties while you focus on healing and moving forward after the incident.
