We come to you
Vamos a donde usted esté
From I-95 to the grocery aisle.
If someone else's carelessness hurt you, on the road or on their property, these are the cases we take. Every one of them starts with a free review.
Car crashes
Accidentes de auto
Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, hit-and-run and uninsured drivers: the case most of our clients bring us, and the one insurers fight hardest.
Truck crashes
Choques de camiones
Tractor-trailers, box trucks and delivery vans. A trucking company sends investigators within hours, so we send ours too.
Motorcycle crashes
Accidentes de moto
For riders hit by a driver who says he never saw them, and an insurer that assumes the rider was to blame.
Slip and fall
Resbalones y caídas
Wet floors, broken stairs and bad lighting in stores, condos and hotels, where the owner knew, or should have.
Pedestrian and bicycle
Peatones y ciclistas
Hit in a crosswalk, in a bike lane or on the causeways. Your own auto insurance may cover you even on foot.
Rideshare and delivery
Viajes compartidos y repartos
Hurt as a passenger, or by a driver working for an app. We find out which policy applies, and there's often more than one.
Wrongful death
Muerte por negligencia
When a crash takes someone you love. We handle the case quietly, and you never have to retell it to an insurer.
What they offered. What we recovered.

From the crash to the check.
Five things happen in every case we take, in this order, and your lawyer calls you at each one.
“I called at 1am from the emergency room, and a lawyer called me back before they'd even taken my X-rays.”
Yesenia, Hialeah
Within the hour
A lawyer calls you back
Call or text, day or night. A lawyer, not an answering service, calls you back within the hour, in English or Spanish.
In the first 72 hours
We lock down the evidence
We send for the police report, the 911 call and the camera footage before it's recorded over, and we photograph the scene.
Within 14 days
You see a doctor
In Florida that's the deadline for your PIP benefits. We'll find you a doctor who waits to be paid until your case settles.
While you heal
The insurers call us, not you
We gather your bills and records, and we prepare every case as if it's going to trial.
The check
Every dollar, on paper
The settlement is paid into our trust account, and you get a statement with every dollar on it before a cent moves.

What you owe us if we don't win your case: not our fee, and not the costs we advanced.

Our fee comes out of what we recover, never out of your pocket. We advance every cost of the case, from medical records to expert witnesses, and you get the fee agreement in writing, in English or Spanish, before we start.

One of us used to work for the insurers.
Marcus Pemberton spent nine years defending insurance companies before he switched sides in 2014. He knows how an adjuster prices your claim, because he used to help them do it.
Elena Ríos
Founding partner, trial lawyer
Grew up in Hialeah. When she was fourteen, her father, a bus driver, was hit by a delivery truck and paid almost nothing for it. She founded the firm in 2011 and still tries cases herself.
Marcus Pemberton
Partner since 2014
Nine years on the insurers' side taught him what a claim is really worth, and when an insurer will pay it.
Six attorneys and fourteen people in all, and every one of us speaks English and Spanish. Your case has one lawyer from the first call to the check.

“The insurance company offered me $9,000 and told me it was fair. Marcus told me to wait. I'm glad I listened.”
Darnell, Miami Gardens
“Elena explained everything to my mother in Spanish, twice, and never once made her feel rushed.”
Carlos, Westchester
“My case went to trial and I was terrified. Elena sat next to me every single day.”
Rosa, Kendall
What people ask on the first call.
Anything else, ask us. The call is free, and a lawyer answers it.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front. Our fee is a share of what we recover, and if we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing at all.
What is my case worth?
It depends on your medical bills, the wages you've lost, how the injury changes your life and the insurance available. We give you an honest range after the free review, never a number we can't stand behind.
The other driver's insurance called me. Should I talk to them?
Be polite, take their name, and don't give a recorded statement or sign anything. Send them to us; that's what we're here for.
How long do I have?
In Florida, most injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident. A claim against a city, the county or the state has its own notice rules, so call us early.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can usually still recover in Florida, as long as you were not more than half to blame. What you recover is reduced by your share.
How long will my case take?
Many cases settle in six to twelve months, once your treatment is finished and we know the full cost of your injury. A case that goes to trial can take two years or more.
Can I make a claim if I'm not a U.S. citizen?
Yes. Anyone hurt in Florida can bring a claim, and what you tell us is confidential.
