Who is Going to Pay to Fix My Car?

The insurance company for the at-fault driver or owner will pay to fix your car and also pay for a rental car. Many attorneys do not help their clients with their property damage after a car accident. We do! You never pay us any fees or costs for this service.

How Do I Pay My Attorney?

You do not pay any fees or costs unless we win your case.

How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?

Most cases are settled within 3-4 months.

How Do I Find a Doctor?

We work with a large network of top medical professionals in every specialty who are located close to your home or work throughout South Florida. We work with doctors who will come to your home to treat you if that is more convenient. Many doctors provide transportation to their office.

How Do I Pay for the Doctor?

If you are in an automobile accident, your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage on your auto policy will pay your medical bills and lost wages up to $10,000.
