Yes, Wolfson & Leon Handles Your Whole Personal Injury Case in Spanish

Yes. At Wolfson & Leon’s Hialeah office, you can move from your first call through settlement or trial entirely in Spanish. Most attorneys and staff speak Spanish, partner Alfonso “Alfie” Leon works directly with Hialeah clients and often handles cases in Spanish, and all documents, including the fee agreement, are explained in Spanish before you sign anything. Call the Hialeah office at 305-965-3766 or visit us at 1840 W 49th St #734.

Can I really handle the whole case in Spanish, paperwork, calls, everything?

Yes. From your first call to medical coordination, insurer communications, settlement talks, and even trial if needed, everything can be done in Spanish at our Hialeah office. The contingency fee agreement is always explained in writing in Spanish before you sign. While not every single staff member speaks Spanish, most attorneys and support staff do, so language will not block your access to help.

Who will actually work with me at the Hialeah office?

You will likely work directly with partner Alfonso “Alfie” Leon, who serves Hialeah clients and often handles cases in Spanish. The firm has represented injury victims since 1963, and its Hialeah team is built to serve local families in the language they trust.

Where do I meet with the firm, do I have to come to the office?

You can meet at our Hialeah office at 1840 W 49th St #734, Hialeah, FL 33012, or we can come to you. Home and hospital visits are available for clients who are hurt, recovering, or without transportation. We serve Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, Miami Lakes, and all of Miami-Dade County. When you call, use the Hialeah number, 305-965-3766.

What kinds of injury cases does the Hialeah office handle in Spanish?

We handle car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, Uber and Lyft (rideshare) accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, slip and fall claims, wrongful death cases, and uninsured or underinsured motorist claims. Under Florida law, uninsured motorist (UM) coverage is optional but can pay when the at-fault driver has no or too little insurance, and South Florida has a notably high number of uninsured drivers, so these claims are common here. All these case types are managed in Spanish at our Hialeah office, with documents and discussions fully accessible to Spanish speakers.

What does it cost to start, and what happens with my PIP and medical bills?

Your first consultation is free, and you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) law requires you to see a doctor within 14 days of a crash or your own auto insurance pays nothing, even though you already paid for that coverage. If you see a doctor in time and they find an emergency medical condition, your PIP covers 80 percent of reasonable medical bills and 60 percent of lost wages, up to $10,000. If there’s no emergency finding, coverage drops to $2,500. Your own policy pays first; only if you don’t have one does a relative’s policy apply. To seek compensation for pain and suffering from the at-fault driver, Florida law requires proof of a permanent injury, significant scarring, or permanent loss of function. You have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit if the crash happened on or after March 24, 2023.

What happens if the crash was partly my fault, do I lose everything?

Not necessarily. Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you share some blame, like crossing mid-block or forgetting your headlights, you do not automatically lose your claim. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you only lose the right to recover if a jury finds you more than 50 percent at fault. For example, if you are found 30 percent at fault and the total award is $100,000, you would receive $70,000. Do not assume you have no case because you made a mistake. Let an attorney review the facts before you decide.

Frequently asked questions

Can my family members join the meetings and calls if they speak more Spanish than English?
Yes. Family members can attend calls or meetings to help with translation or support. We understand that some clients feel more comfortable with a trusted relative present, and we accommodate that.

Will my contracts and legal papers be explained to me in Spanish before I sign?
Yes. Every document, including the fee agreement, is reviewed with you in Spanish. Nothing is signed until you understand what it says and what it means for your case.

Can I call the Hialeah office after hours or on a weekend?
Yes. While office hours are weekdays, you can leave a message or speak with someone outside those times. We return calls promptly because we know crashes do not happen on a 9-to-5 schedule.

The other driver had no insurance. Can I still get help at the Hialeah office?
Yes. We regularly handle uninsured motorist claims using your own policy. This coverage exists precisely for situations like this and can still provide financial help even when the other driver has no insurance.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a crash in Florida?
If your injury happened on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a negligence lawsuit under Florida Statute 95.11.
