Our Coral Gables Personal Injury Practice Areas

Whether you were injured in a car crash on Coral Way, a work accident near the University of Miami, or a rideshare collision on U.S. 1, Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers has the skill and experience to help.

We handle all types of personal injury and accident cases in Coral Gables, including:

Car Accidents

Coral Gables is known for its scenic roads and historic charm, but traffic along Le Jeune Road, Bird Road, and Miracle Mile can turn dangerous in seconds. Florida’s no-fault insurance laws can make recovery confusing, especially with PIP coverage (Florida Statute § 627.736) and the 14-day medical treatment rule. Our Miami car accident attorney help you navigate these complexities, file insurance claims, and pursue compensation beyond PIP when another driver’s negligence caused your injuries.

Truck Accidents

Crashes involving large commercial trucks often result in catastrophic injuries. We’ve recovered millions for truck accident victims, including a $10 million jury verdict in Miami for a worker run over by a truck. We know how to investigate driver logs, black box data, and trucking company negligence to hold the right parties accountable.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft)

If you were injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft, or struck by a rideshare vehicle, you may be covered under multiple insurance policies. These cases require a lawyer experienced in Florida’s rideshare liability laws, and our firm has successfully represented clients in these complex claims.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks on roads like South Dixie Highway and Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Our Miami motorcycle accident lawyer and our team will fight to ensure your injuries and pain are taken seriously, not minimized by insurers trying to blame you.

Work Accidents & Workers’ Compensation

Work injuries can derail your ability to earn a living. Whether you were hurt on a construction site or in a warehouse, Payer Law’s Miami work injury lawyer will help you pursue benefits for medical care, lost wages, and disability under Florida Statute § 440.19. We’ve achieved life-changing results, including:

  • $1,000,000 settlement for a Miami warehouse worker with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries

  • $675,000 settlement for a worker who sustained multiple herniated discs and required corrective spine surgery

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating. Our Miami wrongful death attorney handle wrongful death claims under Florida Statute § 95.11, helping families recover damages for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering. We approach every wrongful death case with compassion and determination to honor your loved one’s memory through justice.

What to Do After an Accident in Coral Gables

  1. Get medical care immediately.
    Even minor pain can mask serious injuries. Under Florida law, you must seek medical treatment within 14 days to preserve your PIP benefits.

  2. Report the accident.
    Notify the police, your employer, or the property owner, depending on the type of incident.

  3. Document everything.
    Take photos, collect witness information, and keep all medical records.

  4. Avoid speaking to insurance companies.
    Insurance adjusters may try to shift blame or minimize your claim. Let our attorneys handle those calls.

  5. Contact Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers.
    The sooner we get involved, the sooner we can begin protecting your rights and building your case.

Remember, our representation levels the playing field against powerful insurance companies and corporations.
