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. If you do not have PIP, you can still make a claim. If you have had a slip and fall or any other type of accident in Hollywood, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Homestead or anywhere else in South Florida, our doctors will wait until the case is concluded and not ask for any money up front.

Why Am I Using My Insurance to Pay My Bills When I was not at Fault?

Because under Florida No Fault, your Personal Injury Protection coverage pays the first $10,000 of medical bills and lost wages regardless of who is at fault. You will not be penalized.

Will My Insurance Rates Go Up if I Use My Own Insurance?

Your insurance rates do not automatically go up just because you use your PIP insurance to pay your medical bills and lost wages.

How Much is My Case Worth?

That depends on the extent of your injuries, the amount of your medical bills, your lost wages, and the results of your diagnostic studies. However, you can be sure that Miami, Homestead, Hollywood personal injury attorney Charles Flaxman will fight to get you the most money for your case.
