Dedicated Advocacy for Injury Victims in Miami

Suffering a serious injury due to another party's negligence can upend every aspect of your life. From mounting medical bills and lost income to chronic pain and emotional trauma, the aftermath of an accident is overwhelming. You should not have to bear that burden alone, and you certainly should not have to pay out of pocket while pursuing justice.

Our personal injury practice operates on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay absolutely nothing unless we recover compensation for you. No upfront costs, no hidden fees, no financial risk.

At Lacayo Law Firm, our Miami personal injury attorneys bring tenacious preparation and courtroom confidence to every case. We thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your injury, gather the evidence needed to build an airtight claim, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies who are often more interested in protecting their bottom line than honoring your rights.

Why you need an experienced personal injury lawyer:

  • Insurance companies employ teams of adjusters and attorneys whose goal is to minimize or deny your claim. We level the playing field.
  • Properly calculating the full value of your claim requires understanding future medical needs, long-term earning capacity, and non-economic damages.
  • Florida's statute of limitations means critical deadlines must be met. Missing them can permanently bar your right to recovery.
  • Evidence can disappear quickly. Early investigation preserves surveillance footage, witness statements, and accident scene conditions.

Whether you were hurt in a car collision on I-95, a slip and fall at a commercial property, or a catastrophic trucking accident, our team is here to fight for the outcome you deserve.

Personal Injury FAQ

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

At Lacayo Law Firm, personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we win your case. Our fee comes from a percentage of the settlement or verdict we recover for you.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, certain circumstances can shorten or extend this deadline. It is critical to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve valuable evidence.

What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?

You may be entitled to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, loss of consortium, and in some cases punitive damages. The specific amount depends on the severity of your injuries and the facts of your case.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Seek medical attention first, even if you feel fine, as some injuries do not present symptoms right away. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with other parties, file a police report if applicable, and contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance companies. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers without legal counsel.

Will my personal injury case go to trial?

The majority of personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement without going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case before a jury. We prepare every case with trial in mind, which drives stronger negotiation outcomes.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Florida follows a comparative negligence system, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from recovering. An experienced attorney can help minimize fault attribution and maximize your recovery.
