I Want to Hire Wolfson & Leon in Hialeah: What Happens When I Call?

When you call Wolfson & Leon at 305-965-3766, a real person answers, not a recording or an automated menu. The phone line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that first call is just to learn what happened so they can set up your free consultation. You are not signing up for anything by calling. There is no fee unless the firm recovers money for you.

When you call 305-965-3766, who actually picks up?

A live person answers the phone at all hours, every day of the week. The call is confidential and carries no obligation. You are not required to hire the firm just because you called, and you will not be pressured to file a claim before you are ready. The purpose of the call is to gather basic facts so the firm can determine whether a free consultation makes sense for your situation. This is not a voicemail system where you leave a message and wait. You speak directly to someone who can help schedule your meeting in Hialeah, at your home, or even at your hospital bed.

What will they ask you on that first call?

You may be asked to describe what happened in the accident, when and where it occurred, what injuries you have, and what insurance policies are involved. These questions help the firm understand whether Florida law allows a claim and how urgent the next steps are. The team needs this information to prepare for your free consultation, not to make a judgment about your case. Spanish speakers can request to speak in Spanish; the firm’s attorneys and staff speak Spanish.

Where does the free consultation happen, and do you have to come to the office?

The consultation can happen wherever you are: at the Hialeah office at 1840 W 49th St #734, at your home in Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, Miami Lakes, or Medley, or at your bedside in Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General. Being hospitalized or unable to drive does not delay your access to legal advice. The consultation costs nothing and comes with no pressure to move forward. It is a chance to ask questions, understand your rights under Florida law, and decide whether to hire a lawyer. Many callers worry that hiring a lawyer means more bills right away, but this meeting is free, in English or Spanish, and you owe nothing if you choose not to proceed.

What does the fee agreement actually say, and what does it cost you to start?

Wolfson & Leon works on contingency. That means you pay no attorney fee unless the firm recovers money for you. The exact percentage is written into the agreement you sign, and it only applies if there is a settlement or verdict. The firm also advances case costs like filing fees, medical records, and expert reports. Ask how those costs are handled if there is no recovery. Do not assume the lawyer’s percentage is the only deduction from your final check. Medical providers and insurers may place liens on your recovery, and case costs may be repaid from the total. Ask about all of this during your free consultation, the written agreement will spell it out clearly.

After you sign, what does the lawyer handle and what do you keep doing?

Once you sign the agreement, the firm generally takes over communication with insurance companies, pulls the police report (which is accessible to lawyers even during Florida’s 60-day crash report confidentiality window under Fla. Stat. § 316.066), secures evidence like dashcam footage or traffic cam video, and handles settlement demands. You continue your medical treatment, save receipts for out-of-pocket costs like prescriptions or crutches, avoid posting about your injuries or daily life on social media, and do not give recorded statements to adjusters without your lawyer present. Bilingual staff can help guide clients through the process in Spanish or English.

Two deadlines that can end your case before it starts

Florida law gives you just 14 days after a crash to get medical treatment or your own PIP insurer can deny coverage entirely [Fla. Stat. § 627.736(1)(a)]. PIP pays 80 percent of reasonable medical bills and 60 percent of lost income, up to $10,000 if a doctor diagnoses an emergency medical condition. It pays from your own auto policy first, not the other driver’s, regardless of fault. Missing that 14-day window shuts off this benefit permanently. Separately, for crashes on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver [Fla. Stat. § 95.11]. Florida’s no-fault system does not block all claims against the other driver. If you suffer a permanent injury, significant scarring, or permanent loss of a bodily function, you may pursue pain and suffering damages under [Fla. Stat. § 627.737(2)].

Frequently asked questions

Does calling a personal injury lawyer commit me to hiring them?
No. Calling Wolfson & Leon for information creates no obligation. The first call and the consultation are free and confidential. You decide later whether to move forward.

I’m in the hospital right now. Can a lawyer still come to me?
Yes. The firm meets clients at Hialeah Hospital and Palmetto General. Location or medical condition does not prevent you from getting legal help.

My injuries seem minor, broken bones, no. Is it even worth calling a lawyer?
Even “minor” injuries can lead to long-term problems or hidden costs. Florida’s 14-day PIP rule and the two-year lawsuit deadline apply regardless of how you feel today. A free consultation can clarify whether you have a viable claim.

I only speak Spanish. Can I still use this office?
Yes. Attorneys and staff at Wolfson & Leon are fluent in Spanish. All communications, documents, and consultations can be handled in Spanish.

What happens if I miss the 14-day window to see a doctor after my crash?
Your PIP insurer can deny all benefits, even though you paid premiums for that coverage. There is no grace period. If you have not seen a medical provider within 14 days, contact the firm immediately to discuss options.
