How We Can Help As Your Advocate
We investigate fault using crash reports, witness statements, scene photos, and where needed, accident reconstruction. We coordinate medical documentation, handle insurer communications, and build your damages claim—medical expenses, wage loss, and future care. If the at-fault carrier stalls or lowballs, our litigation experience in Miami-Dade courtrooms keeps pressure on.
Common Car Accident Injuries And Costs
Neck and back trauma, fractures, concussions and TBI, shoulder and knee injuries, and scarring are common—and costly. We document ER visits, imaging, specialist care, therapy, and lost time from work to support full compensation, including future treatment or diminished earning capacity when injuries linger.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
Insurers move fast to minimize payouts. We manage all communications, protect you from recorded statements taken out of context, and counter low offers with evidence-based demands. If a company vehicle or delivery van caused the crash, you can learn more about our approach to commercial vehicle claims.
Florida Auto Accident Laws You Should Know
Florida’s no-fault system provides Personal Injury Protection (PIP), typically up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages. You may bring a bodily injury claim against the at-fault driver when injuries meet the statutory threshold (permanent injury, significant scarring, loss of important bodily function). We explain timelines, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and how fault affects recovery. For crashes involving a tractor-trailer, see how we handle truck accidents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Car Accidents
Do I need a Coral Gables car accident lawyer after a minor crash?
Even “minor” collisions can cause lasting injuries and insurer disputes. A Miami car accident attorney handles PIP, coordinates care, and protects your bodily injury claim so you don’t settle for less than your losses.
What is Florida PIP and does it limit my claim?
Personal Injury Protection typically pays up to $10,000 for medical/wage benefits regardless of fault. You can pursue the at-fault driver when injuries meet Florida’s threshold (permanent injury, significant scarring, or loss of bodily function). A Coral Gables auto accident lawyer can assess eligibility.
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurer?
Not before legal guidance. Adjusters look for statements that minimize your claim. Let a car crash injury lawyer handle communications while you focus on recovery.
What if I was partially at fault?
Florida’s modified comparative negligence law may reduce or bar recovery if you’re mostly at fault. A car accident lawyer in Coral Gables investigates to fairly apportion fault and protect your compensation.
How long will my case take?
Timelines vary with medical recovery, liability disputes, and court scheduling. A Miami car accident attorney pushes insurers with evidence-based demands and files suit when needed to move the case forward.
