Injured in a Car Accident? We're Here to Help

Car Accident Lawyer in Hialeah, Florida

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Hialeah, you have the right to recover compensation. A car accident lawyer protects your rights. We can help you push back when insurance companies pressure you to accept less than you deserve. CHG Personal Injury Lawyers represents people injured in car accidents throughout Hialeah, Miami-Dade County, and Florida. We work on contingency—you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover money for you.

Do You Need a Car Accident Lawyer?

Yes, if you were injured—even if the injury seems minor at first. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to pay you as little as possible. You deserve someone on your side.

Legal representation is especially important if the accident caused:

• Significant medical bills
• Lost wages
• Ongoing pain
• Permanent injury

Even when liability seems clear, the insurance company may dispute your damages or deny your claim outright.

A free case evaluation costs you nothing. It gives you clarity on whether you have a claim and what it might be worth. Many people try to handle a claim alone, only to discover later they accepted far less than they deserved.

What a Car Accident Claim Covers

A successful car accident claim can recover several types of damages:

• Medical expenses: emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, physical therapy, ongoing treatment, and future medical needs.
• Lost wages: income lost while recovering, and reduced earning capacity if injury affects your ability to work.
• Pain and suffering: compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
• Property damage: repair or replacement of your vehicle and personal items damaged in the crash.
• Wrongful death: if a loved one was killed, the family may recover funeral costs, lost financial support, and damages for the loss.

We investigate what you’re entitled to and fight to recover the full amount—not just what the insurance company initially offers.

How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the accident under Fla. Stat. §95.11(5)(a).

For wrongful death, the family typically has two years from the date of death to file. Do not wait: evidence disappears, witnesses move away, and memories fade. The sooner you act, the stronger your case. We handle filing deadlines and legal procedures so you don’t miss a critical date.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

We work on contingency: our fee is a percentage of the money we recover for you, typically 33% to 40%, depending on whether the case settles or goes to trial.

You pay nothing upfront—no retainer, no hourly fees, no costs out of your pocket. Court costs, medical record fees, and investigation expenses are covered by us and deducted from your recovery. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing. We are transparent about fees from the start.

Steps to Take After a Car Accident

Knowing what to do immediately after a crash protects your health, preserves evidence, and strengthens your legal claim:

1. Call 911 if anyone is injured; get emergency medical care immediately.
2. Move to safety if possible; turn on hazard lights and stay out of traffic.
3. Call the police and get a police report number; do not leave the scene.
4. Exchange information with the other driver(s): name, phone, address, insurance company, policy number, vehicle details.
5. Take photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signs, and the accident scene from multiple angles.
6. Get contact information from any witnesses who saw the crash.
7. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine; some injuries appear hours or days later.
8. Do not admit fault or apologize for the accident; let police and insurance companies determine liability.
9. Report the accident to your insurance company, but do not give a recorded statement without legal advice.
10. Keep all documentation: medical records, bills, receipts, and records related to the accident and your recovery.
11. Contact us for a free case evaluation as soon as possible.

How We Investigate Your Car Accident Case

We handle every aspect of your case from the moment you call:

• Obtain the police report and review it for accuracy and completeness.
• Gather and preserve evidence: photos, video footage from traffic cameras or nearby businesses, vehicle damage reports.
• Interview witnesses and document their statements while memories are fresh.
• Work with accident reconstruction experts if needed to establish how the crash occurred and who was at fault.
• Collect your medical records and bills to calculate the full extent of your damages.
• Review insurance policies to identify all available sources of compensation.
• Communicate with insurance adjusters and opposing counsel to build a strong settlement position.
• Prepare your case for trial if a fair settlement is not offered.

Establishing Liability in a Florida Car Accident

Florida is a “comparative negligence” state (Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6)). This means you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were 50% or less responsible.

Common causes of car accidents in Hialeah include:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Failure to yield
• Running red lights
• Driving under the influence

We use police reports, witness statements, traffic laws, and expert analysis to prove the other driver’s fault. Even if the other driver claims you were at fault, we defend your rights and fight for fair compensation.

Settlement vs. Trial: What to Expect

Most car accident cases settle before trial—typically within 6 to 12 months, depending on complexity and injury severity.

We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to reach a fair settlement that fully compensates you. If the insurance company refuses a reasonable offer, we are prepared to take your case to trial. At trial, a judge or jury hears evidence and decides liability and damages. We handle all legal proceedings, paperwork, and court appearances so you can focus on recovery.
