Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Hialeah

No matter how your accident happened, Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers is ready to help. Our experienced team handles all types of injury and accident claims throughout Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, and the greater Miami-Dade area.

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.

Our Miami work injury lawyer has successfully recovered millions for injured workers, including:

  • $1,000,000 – Work accident with traumatic brain and spinal injuries
  • $675,000 – Miami worker who required spine surgery after multiple herniated discs
  • $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.

What To Do After an Accident in Hialeah

If you’ve been hurt in an accident, what you do next can greatly impact your case. Here’s how to protect your health and your rights:

  1. Get medical care right away.
    Visit a doctor or Hialeah Hospital to document your injuries, even if you feel fine.
  2. Report the accident.
    File a police report, notify your employer, or alert the property owner — depending on the situation.
  3. Collect evidence.
    Take photos, get witness information, and keep copies of any paperwork.
  4. Avoid talking to insurance adjusters.
    They’re trained to minimize your claim. Let your lawyer handle all communications.
  5. Call Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers.
    The sooner we’re involved, the stronger your case will be.

Remember: Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Don’t wait — evidence fades fast.

How We Help You Recover Compensation

Our mission is simple: to make sure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to under Florida law.

Depending on your case, you may be eligible for compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium (for spouses)
  • Wrongful death damages

At Payer Law, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial — because that’s how we get the best results, whether it settles or not.
