Personal Injury Questions We Hear Most
Clear Answers.
No Legal Jargon.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Coral Gables?
You pay nothing upfront to hire us. We work on a contingency fee, which means we only get paid if we win your case. We also cover the costs of litigation, so you’re not paying out of pocket while your case is pending. If there’s no recovery, you don’t owe us anything.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Florida law recently changed, and most personal injury claims must now be filed within two years of the accident. If you were injured in Coral Gables, South Miami, or anywhere in Miami-Dade County, it’s important to speak with a lawyer quickly so you don’t miss this deadline. In some cases, shorter time limits apply—like if the injury involved a government entity. The sooner you contact us, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Will I have to go to court for my injury case?
Not always. Many cases settle before a lawsuit is ever filed, and others settle before trial. That said, we prepare every case as if it could go to court in Miami-Dade, because being ready for trial often leads to better settlement offers. If your case does need to go to court, we’re fully equipped to represent you—Russell Dohan is a Florida Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer with decades of courtroom experience.
What types of accidents qualify as personal injury in Miami?
Personal injury law covers a wide range of accidents caused by someone else’s negligence. This includes car crashes on US-1, slip and falls on Miracle Mile, pedestrian injuries, dog bites, construction accidents, and more. If someone else’s carelessness caused your injuries, there’s a good chance you have a valid claim. We’ll review your situation and tell you honestly whether we think you have a case.
How long will it take to settle my personal injury claim?
Every case is different, but most injury claims in Coral Gables resolve within a few months to a year. More complex cases—such as those involving serious injuries, trucking companies, or disputed liability—may take longer, especially if a lawsuit is needed. We keep you updated every step of the way so you always know where things stand. Our goal is to move your case forward without unnecessary delays while still maximizing your recovery.
