Car Accidents
From Red Road (W 4th Ave) to Okeechobee Road, Hialeah’s streets are often congested and dangerous. Under Florida’s no-fault law (Fla. Stat. § 627.736), you must seek medical treatment within 14 days to preserve your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. Our Miami car accident lawyers know how to navigate Florida’s insurance system and fight for additional damages when another driver’s negligence causes serious injuries.
Truck Accidents
Hialeah’s industrial and warehouse districts mean heavy truck traffic — and devastating accidents when something goes wrong. Our Miami truck accident lawyer has recovered multi-million-dollar verdicts in trucking cases, including a $10 million jury verdict for a worker run over by a co-worker’s vehicle. We know how to hold negligent trucking companies and drivers accountable.
Uber & Lyft Accidents
With thousands of rideshare trips starting or ending in Hialeah every day, accidents involving Uber and accidents involving Lyft are increasingly common. Insurance coverage can be confusing — but our team understands how Florida’s rideshare laws work and knows how to recover damages from all available sources.
I was in an Uber accident and didn’t know what to do. Payer Law took care of everything — they explained the process clearly and fought for a great result.

Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Whether you slipped at a Hialeah grocery store, tripped on unsafe flooring, or were injured due to negligent security, property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe. We’ll investigate, gather evidence, and hold them accountable.
Work Accidents & Workers’ Compensation
Hialeah’s workforce is the backbone of Miami-Dade County, with thousands employed in construction, manufacturing, and logistics. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to benefits under Florida Statute § 440.19 — even if the accident was your employer’s fault.

- $300,000 – Warehouse fall case initially denied by the employer; we won after litigation
We handle all communication with insurance companies and employers so you can focus on healing.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one’s life is cut short due to negligence, no amount of money can make things right — but justice can bring peace. Under Florida Statute § 95.11, families may pursue compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, and emotional losses. Our compassionate Miami wrongful death lawyer is here to support you every step of the way.
