How to choose a lawyer in Hialeah

When choosing a personal injury lawyer in Hialeah, start with someone who focuses on personal injury cases, not a general practice. Ask about their trial track record and whether they have handled cases in the local courts and with the insurers common in this area. Get clear contingency terms in writing: what percentage they take, who pays costs, and when you owe anything. Find out who will personally handle your case day to day, and confirm the lawyer is in good standing with the State Bar. Our directory lets you compare local attorneys on these points so you can make an informed choice.

What to do after an accident in Hialeah

After an accident in Hialeah, your first priority is medical care, even if you feel fine. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, exchange information with others involved, and gather contact and insurance details. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep all records, including medical bills, repair estimates, and correspondence. Florida law sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury for claims on or after March 24, 2023; older claims had 4 years. Acting promptly helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.

Florida injury law, in brief

Florida gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim for claims on or after March 24, 2023; older claims had 4 years. The state uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar, so you recover if you are not more than 50% at fault, though medical malpractice remains pure comparative.
