Hurt in Hialeah? Talk to a lawyer today, in English or Spanish.

Not for every fender-bender, but talk to one before you give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement or sign anything. The insurer's job is to pay as little as possible, and Florida's rules on PIP, permanent injury, and deadlines decide what you can recover. The consultation is free. See what to do after a car accident in Hialeah.

Your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) pays first, no matter who caused the crash: 80% of reasonable medical bills and 60% of lost wages, up to $10,000, but only if you are treated within 14 days of the crash (Fla. Stat. § 627.736). Bills above that are paid by your health insurance, by medical providers who agree to wait for the case, and in the end by the at-fault driver's insurance or your own uninsured motorist coverage. PIP does not cover motorcycle riders.

You can make a claim if the store knew, or should have known, about the hazard and did not fix it or warn you. For a slip on a liquid or other substance, Florida law requires proof that the business knew about it or should have, for example because it was on the floor long enough to be found (Fla. Stat. § 768.0755). Store video is usually overwritten within about 30 days, so ask for it in writing quickly. See slip and fall in Hialeah.

Nothing up front. Wolfson & Leon works on a contingency fee: the fee is a percentage of what is recovered, explained in writing before you sign, and the firm advances case costs. If there is no recovery, you owe no fee.

Yes. Most of the attorneys and staff in the Hialeah office speak Spanish. You can handle your entire case in Spanish, from the first call to the last signature.

For accidents on or after March 24, 2023, Florida gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a negligence lawsuit (Fla. Stat. § 95.11). PIP's 14-day treatment rule comes much sooner, and a claim against a government vehicle needs written notice first (Fla. Stat. § 768.28(6)).
