What to Do After an Injury in Miami?
After an accident, there are several steps you can take to not only protect your well-being but to increase your chances of successfully recovering compensation for your injuries. Speaking with an attorney before giving any statement or information to insurance companies is crucial.
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
It’s important to seek medical attention after an accident, even if you don’t think you were injured or if your injuries don’t appear to be serious. Some injuries aren’t immediately apparent after accidents, and others may be more severe than they initially seem. Medical records play a crucial role in personal injury claims, and showing that you sought medical attention immediately makes it easier to prove that the accident caused your injury.
Document Everything
When you’ve been injured in an accident, documenting everything you can is one of the best ways to build a strong case. Take photos of the accident scene and your injuries, keep all your medical bills and records, collect accident reports, and get witness statements if possible.
Don’t Speak to Insurance Companies Without a Lawyer
Insurance adjusters work against victims’ interests to preserve their company’s bottom line. Giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before speaking with an attorney could lead to a lower payout, as the company may attempt to use your own words against you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a Miami personal injury lawyer?
Payer Law Personal Injury Lawyers works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay us nothing upfront and won’t pay us anything unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee will be a pre-agreed percentage of any settlement or verdict we obtain.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Most personal injury victims in Miami have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit under Florida’s personal injury statute of limitations. The two-year deadline typically starts on the date of your accident. If you miss this deadline, you will likely lose your right to sue for damages under Florida law. However, this rule has some exceptions. An experienced Miami personal injury lawyer can determine the specific deadline for your case and ensure you don’t miss your opportunity to file.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Insurance companies are in the business of making money. The less compensation they pay to accident victims, the greater their profits, so they will work hard to minimize your compensation. Most of the time, the first offer you receive from an insurance company is a lowball. Avoid taking any settlement offer from an insurer without consulting an attorney first.
