Personal Injury FAQ

Our personal injury law firm is open Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. However, we answer calls 24/7. No call is ever left unanswered. We understand that serious injuries can happen at any time, so we’re always available for an emergency consultation with you over the phone.

In personal injury law, timing is everything. We often receive emergency calls from people who’ve just been seriously injured, and in many cases, they authorize us to represent them while we’re still on the phone. However, if you prefer to come to the office in person, we recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure personal injury attorney availability. The sooner we begin the investigation, the better the chances to preserve essential evidence. Our goal is to get started on your case immediately without wasting precious time.

Our main office is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but we also have offices throughout the state where we can meet with clients by appointment. If you’re unable to travel, we can connect via phone, Zoom, or even by text – whatever is easiest for you. If needed and at your request, we can also meet you at a hospital, rehabilitation center, or your home.

Although our main office is based in Fort Lauderdale, we represent clients across the entire state of Florida – from Miami to Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Jacksonville, and beyond. If you were injured anywhere in Florida, we are here to help.

Yes, we absolutely can visit you in your home, hospital, or rehabilitation facility, if you request it. We understand that some injuries make travel difficult, and we want to ensure that legal help is always accessible when you need it.

Our firm focuses exclusively on personal injury law. Since beginning her career in 1994, our founder has dedicated her work to helping people – not corporations. Our mission is to educate injured individuals about their rights and help them secure the compensation they need to rebuild their lives.

We handle a wide range of serious injury and accident cases, including:

• – Car accidents.
• – Truck and 18-wheeler crashes.
• – Slip and fall accidents (e.g., injuries from slipping on a wet floor or tripping over uneven surfaces).
• – Premises liability cases (injuries caused by dangerous conditions on someone else’s property, like a broken stair or missing handrail).
• – Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
• – Accidental (wrongful) death – meaning someone died because another person or company was careless.
• – Pool drownings.
• – Pedestrian accidents.
• – Bicycle accidents.
• – Motorcycle accidents.
• – Injuries due to negligent security (when someone is harmed because a property owner failed to provide proper security, like in a poorly lit parking lot or at an unsecured apartment complex).
• – Assault and battery on commercial property.
• – Uber and Lyft accident cases.
• – Severe burns caused by someone else’s carelessness.

If you were hurt because someone else was careless, we’re here to stand up and fight for you.

Yes, we do – and this is one of the things that sets us apart from many other personal injury law firms. While most firms focus only on the injury claim, we understand that in Florida, people rely on their cars to go to work and take care of their families. That’s why we also assist our clients with getting their vehicles repaired after an accident. Whether it’s coordinating with insurance adjusters or helping move the claim forward, we work to make sure your car damage is handled quickly and fairly – so you can get back to your normal routine.

Yes, we do. We proudly serve the Russian-speaking community. We know how important it is to communicate in your preferred language – especially when dealing with something as serious as an injury case.

Your consultation is absolutely free. There’s no pressure and no obligation.

We work entirely on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no upfront charges and no out-of-pocket costs to you. We only get paid if we win your case – and our fee comes from the insurance company’s settlement, not your personal funds.

Many of our clients prefer to talk by phone, text, or Zoom – and that’s completely fine. After you authorize us to represent you, we’ll send a short list of documents to gather, such as accident reports, medical records, or photos. You can text or email them to us, whichever works best for you. From there, we handle everything.

Every case is different. Some cases settle quickly, while others – especially those involving serious or long-term medical care – may take longer. Treatment often includes multiple visits, therapy, or even surgery, and we stay involved the entire way. We keep in touch with your doctors, track your progress, and handle all the legal work so you can focus on healing.

That depends on many factors: the severity of your injuries, whether you missed work, future medical needs, available insurance coverage, and the level of pain and suffering involved. Our goal is to ensure you receive fair compensation based on the true impact of the accident – not just the initial medical bills. We aim to get you a settlement that reflects what you’ve endured and what you need going forward.

Once you’ve finished the medical treatment you need to get better, our firm works hard to resolve any outstanding medical bills as part of your case. While every case is different, we regularly communicate with healthcare providers and billing departments to address the medical charges in a fair and ethical way, based on proper documentation and medical billing codes. We do this as part of our broader commitment to securing the best possible outcome for our clients – while remaining fully compliant with ethical and legal standards.

After an accident, many people ask: “Is it too late to get a lawyer?” or “How long do I have to sue someone for my injuries?” In most Florida personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to take legal action. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to seek compensation, even if the accident wasn’t your fault.

There are some exceptions to this rule depending on the type of case or who was involved, so it’s always best to contact us as soon as possible. The earlier we start working on your case, the better the chances we have to preserve evidence and build a strong claim.
