Fighting for Accident Victims Across Miami Beach
Miami Beach is one of the most vibrant places in Florida, but with its busy roads, crowded sidewalks, and constant tourism, accidents are common. Whether you were injured while commuting down Alton Road, walking near Lincoln Road Mall, or working in one of the city’s hotels or restaurants, Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers is here to help.
We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
- Car Accidents – We know how to navigate Florida’s no-fault insurance laws and fight for the full value of your claim, even when the insurance company tries to downplay your injuries.
- Truck Accidents – Collisions involving commercial vehicles or delivery trucks can cause catastrophic injuries. We’ll pursue every liable party to secure the compensation you deserve.
- Motorcycle Accidents – Miami Beach’s scenic roads can be dangerous for riders. We fight to protect motorcyclists against bias and ensure their rights are respected.
- Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft) – If you were injured while riding in or hit by a rideshare vehicle, we’ll help you navigate the complex insurance process.
- Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents – From Ocean Drive to Collins Avenue, pedestrians and cyclists are vulnerable to distracted drivers. We’ll hold negligent motorists accountable.
- Workplace Accidents & Workers’ Compensation – Whether you were injured on a construction site, in a kitchen, or on hotel property, we can help you recover workers’ compensation benefits and explore all possible third-party claims.
- Wrongful Death Claims – When negligence leads to the tragic loss of a loved one, we fight to ensure your family receives justice and financial support.
Every case is unique. That’s why we take the time to understand your story, gather strong evidence, and build a personalized legal strategy tailored to your situation.
What To Do After an Accident in Miami Beach
If you’ve been injured in an accident, the steps you take next can have a major impact on your case. Here’s what to do:
- Seek Medical Attention Immediately. Even if you feel okay, some injuries take time to appear. Visit a hospital like Mount Sinai Medical Center or an urgent care center to protect your health and your legal rights.
- Document Everything. Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. If possible, get witness contact information.
- Report the Accident. File a police report or notify your employer, depending on where and how the injury occurred.
- Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters. Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim or shift blame to you.
- Call Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers. We’ll review your case for free and guide you through the next steps to protect your rights.
You have enough to worry about. Let us handle the legal side while you focus on recovery.
How We Help You Recover Compensation
In personal injury cases in Miami Beach, our team at Payer Law pursue every dollar you’re entitled to under Florida law. Depending on your case, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a Miami Beach personal injury lawyer?
You pay nothing upfront. At Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid when we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. Certain exceptions apply, so it’s best to contact us as soon as possible.
What should I do if the insurance company offers me a quick settlement?
Don’t accept it before speaking with an attorney. Quick settlements often undervalue your claim. We can review your offer for free and ensure you’re not being taken advantage of.
