Yes, You Can Reach a Hialeah Personal Injury Lawyer Tonight

Yes. Call Wolfson & Leon at 305-965-3766 right now, a real person answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including tonight. If you are in the hospital or cannot drive, an attorney will come to you at Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General. The consultation is free and you pay no fee unless the firm recovers money for you.

What actually happens when I call 305-965-3766 at midnight?

A live person answers. Not voicemail, not an automated menu. Someone from our office will ask for your name and phone number, where and when the crash or injury happened, what kind of accident it was (car, slip and fall, truck, etc.), what injuries you know about so far, whether you have seen a doctor yet, and whether police made a report. It is fine if you do not have all the answers. You just went through something serious. We take notes, an attorney reviews the facts promptly, and we tell you what happens next before the call ends. If you are thinking “I have a lot of questions,” this call is exactly for that moment.

What if I’m at the hospital or I can’t drive?

We come to you. If you are at Hialeah Hospital (651 E 25th Street) or Palmetto General Hospital (2001 W 68th Street), an attorney or staff member will visit you there, tonight or first thing tomorrow, depending on your condition. Both hospitals have 24-hour emergency rooms and serve all parts of Hialeah. Spanish-speaking attorneys and staff are available for the visit and every step after. You do not need to worry about getting to our office at 1840 W 49th St #734. We meet you where you are, even if you are still in pain and trying to figure out what comes next.

What should I do between now and when I meet the attorney?

First, get medical treatment now. Florida law requires initial care within 14 days of a crash or your PIP insurance pays nothing toward your bills, not less, zero. Go to Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General if you have not been seen yet. Second, do not sign anything an insurer sends you by text, email, or mail. Early documents can be used to lower your case value. Third, do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with your attorney. Say your attorney will contact them. These statements can be used to make you sound less hurt or partly at fault. Fourth, preserve evidence. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and vehicle damage. Write down witness names and numbers. Get the police report number. Your lawyer can obtain the full report once retained.

What does it cost, and what does the fee agreement look like?

The initial call and meeting are free. We work on a contingency fee: we are paid a percentage of what we recover for you. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. Before we start, you receive a written fee agreement that explains the percentage, case costs, and what to expect. At the first meeting, we walk you through all of it so there are no surprises. We do not assume every case leads to a better net recovery just because a lawyer is involved. We explain the realities of your situation upfront, in plain terms, before you decide anything.

Can I call and speak in Spanish right now?

Sí, hablamos español. When you dial 305-965-3766, you can speak in Spanish right away, ahora mismo, and Spanish-speaking attorneys and staff handle your case from there. In Hialeah, where so many families speak Spanish at home, we handle every part of your case in Spanish if you prefer: the intake call, the hospital visit, updates, negotiations, everything. Communicating clearly after a crash matters. This is not a separate service or a translation add-on. It is the same full representation, in your language, from the first call onward.

Someone was killed in the crash, what does the family do first?

We know this call comes during unbearable grief. Under Florida law, only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death claim. Surviving spouses, children, and parents recover through that one claim. You have two years from the date of death to file. Call 305-965-3766 tonight, a person answers. Do not speak with any insurer or sign documents before talking to us. Preserve what you can: photos, the vehicle, medical records. Evidence disappears quickly. The sooner we act, the more options the family may have.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a lawyer if the accident wasn’t my fault in Florida?
Fault alone does not guarantee payment. Insurance companies may dispute claims even when their driver ran a red light or rear-ended you. A lawyer helps make sure your medical bills, lost wages, and other losses are properly valued and pursued.

Is it worth getting a lawyer for what seems like a minor accident?
Some injuries appear minor at first but worsen over days. Florida’s PIP coverage runs out fast, and hidden damage can lead to large out-of-pocket costs. A free consultation helps you understand whether early legal help protects your rights.

The other driver had no insurance. Who pays my medical bills?
Your own PIP coverage pays first if you got initial treatment within 14 days: up to $10,000 with an emergency medical condition, otherwise $2,500. If you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, that policy may also apply. We review your options under uninsured motorist claims.

The insurance adjuster called and wants a recorded statement. Should I give one?
Do not give a recorded statement without a lawyer. These interviews can lock you into wording that minimizes your injuries or implies fault. Politely say your attorney will be in touch.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
For injuries on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a negligence lawsuit under Fla. Stat. § 95.11. Missing this deadline usually ends your right to sue.
