Questions we hear from Palm Beach County
Is it worth calling a lawyer if the other driver was clearly at fault?
Yes, and before you speak with that driver's insurance company. A recorded call or a form you sign in the first week can shrink your claim, and what you can recover in Florida turns on specific rules about PIP, permanent injury, and filing deadlines. Talking to Wolfson & Leon costs nothing. More on car accidents in West Palm Beach.
I was hit on I-95. Which insurance pays the hospital?
Your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy pays first, even if you did nothing wrong. It covers 80% of reasonable medical bills and 60% of lost income up to $10,000, as long as you get medical care within 14 days of the crash (Fla. Stat. § 627.736). Anything above that is claimed against the at-fault driver's insurance or your own uninsured motorist coverage. Riders on a motorcycle have no PIP.
I fell in a Palm Beach County grocery store. Is the store responsible?
It can be, if the store knew about the hazard, or should have, and failed to clean it up or warn shoppers. When the fall involved a spill or other substance on the floor, Florida law requires proof of that knowledge, often by showing how long it was there (Fla. Stat. § 768.0755). Many stores record over their footage within weeks, so ask for the video in writing early. Read more about slip and fall claims.
Do I have to pay anything to hire Wolfson & Leon?
Not up front. The firm works on a contingency fee, a percentage of any recovery that is explained to you in writing before you sign. The firm advances the costs of the case.
Can I get help in Spanish in West Palm Beach?
Yes. Wolfson & Leon handles cases in Spanish from the first call to 561-782-1585 through the end of the case. Meetings at the West Palm Beach office are by appointment.
What is the deadline to file an injury lawsuit in Florida?
For an accident on or after March 24, 2023, the general deadline is two years from that date (Fla. Stat. § 95.11). PIP's 14-day treatment rule runs out far sooner, and if a public vehicle such as a Palm Tran bus is involved, written notice has to go out first (Fla. Stat. § 768.28(6)).
