What number do I call, and will a real person pick up at 2 a.m. on a Sunday?
Call 305-965-3766. A real person answers this line, not a voicemail system, every hour of every day, 365 days a year, including holidays. The office is located at 1840 W 49th St #734, Hialeah, FL 33012, so local residents will recognize the address. When you call, say clearly that you or a family member was in a crash, where it happened (for example, on Okeechobee Road or near West 49th Street), and that you need to speak with someone now. That is enough to get your call handled right away.
What can actually get done on an after-hours call, is it just a message-taking service?
This is not just a message line. Your call begins a free legal consultation immediately. The person who takes your call can explain what not to say to the other driver’s insurance company, outline your next medical and legal steps, and help protect critical evidence. Crashes happen at all hours on Hialeah roads like the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), Okeechobee Road (US 27), and W 49th Street. Waiting until Monday could hurt your case. Under Florida law (FS 627.736), you must see a doctor within 14 days of the crash to keep your PIP benefits. That deadline does not pause for weekends or holidays, so calling the same night matters.
Can an attorney or someone from the firm come to the hospital or my home?
Yes. If you or a loved one is being treated at Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General Hospital, a member of the Wolfson & Leon team can visit in person. The same applies if you are recovering at home and cannot travel to the office. This removes the barrier of feeling stuck while injured and unsure what to do next. Just ask about an in-person visit during your initial call to 305-965-3766.
Does the call cost me anything, what if I can’t afford a lawyer right now?
The call costs nothing. The consultation is free, and the firm works on contingency, which means you pay no attorney fee unless they recover money for you. Many people worry they cannot afford a lawyer or fear ending up with little after fees. At Wolfson & Leon, there is no upfront cost, and each case is evaluated on its own facts. The first conversation is completely free.
Can I speak to someone in Spanish when I call?
Most attorneys and staff at the Hialeah office speak Spanish, and Spanish-language legal help is available. If Spanish-language service is a priority for your after-hours call, mention it when you call 305-965-3766 so the team can connect you with the right person.
Should I call 911 before I call the law firm?
Always call 911 first if anyone is hurt, if the scene is unsafe, or if police need to document the crash. Once emergency help is on the way and you are safe, call 305-965-3766 that same night. Do not wait. You have only 14 days to get medical treatment under Florida’s PIP rule (FS 627.736), and the other driver’s insurer may try to get a recorded statement before you understand your rights. Also, under FS 316.066, the official crash report is confidential for 60 days except to the involved parties, their insurers, and their lawyers. A lawyer can help you get that report and act quickly.
Frequently asked questions
What if I was in a crash on the Palmetto late at night, is it too late to call?
No. Call 305-965-3766 any time, even at 3 a.m. Crashes on the Palmetto Expressway happen around the clock, and your legal rights do not sleep. The sooner you call, the sooner your PIP benefits and evidence can be protected.
What if the crash happened on a holiday weekend and I’m not sure I have a real case?
You do not need to decide that alone. Describe what happened during your free call. The team can explain whether Florida law gives you a path to recovery based on fault, injuries, and insurance coverage. There is no cost to find out.
My family member is in Hialeah Hospital right now. Can a lawyer come there tonight?
A team member can arrange to visit your loved one at Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General Hospital. Just ask when you call 305-965-3766.
Will the other driver’s insurance company call me over the weekend and do I have to talk to them?
They may call quickly, even the same day. You do not have to give a recorded statement or accept their first offer. Tell them you are speaking with a lawyer and hang up. Then call 305-965-3766.
Is there a deadline I need to worry about if the crash just happened?
Yes. You have 14 days to see a doctor to keep your PIP benefits, and two years from the crash date to file a lawsuit if needed (FS 95.11). Both deadlines apply even if the crash happened on a Sunday or holiday.

Frequently asked questions
What if I was in a crash on the Palmetto late at night, is it too late to call?
It is never too late to call 305-965-3766. The Hialeah line is answered by a person at any hour, including late at night after a crash on the Palmetto Expressway or any other Hialeah road. Calling the same night is actually better than waiting, because you can get guidance before speaking to any insurance adjuster and because Florida law requires crash victims to begin medical treatment within 14 days of the crash to keep their PIP benefits under FS 627.736.
What if the crash happened on a holiday weekend and I'm not sure I have a real case?
Call anyway. The initial consultation is free, and the team will tell you honestly whether you have a viable claim. Crashes on holiday weekends on roads like Okeechobee Road and W 49th St in Hialeah are common, and the fact that it happened on a holiday does not change your legal rights or the other driver's potential liability. You do not need to be certain you have a case before calling.
My family member is in Hialeah Hospital right now. Can a lawyer come there tonight?
Yes. Wolfson & Leon attorneys and team members can come to Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General Hospital to meet with injured clients and their families in person. Call 305-965-3766 and tell them where your family member is being treated, and the team will arrange a visit. You do not need to leave the hospital to begin the legal process.
Will the other driver's insurance company call me over the weekend and do I have to talk to them?
The other driver's insurer may try to reach you quickly, sometimes within hours of a crash, to take a recorded statement. You are not required to give one, and doing so before speaking to a lawyer can hurt your case. If you are contacted over a weekend or holiday, decline to give a recorded statement and call 305-965-3766 first. An attorney can advise you on exactly what to say and what not to say.
Is there a deadline I need to worry about if the crash just happened?
Yes, there are two important deadlines. First, under FS 627.736, you must begin medical treatment within 14 days of the crash or you lose your right to PIP benefits. Second, under FS 95.11, the general deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit for crashes on or after March 24, 2023 is two years from the date of the crash. Neither of these clocks waits for business hours, which is one more reason to call 305-965-3766 the same night.
