Iury is not only an amazing lawyer but a great human with a big heart. He took care of my case and prioritized it like if I was his family member. He checked in on me frequently, texted and called me numerous times to see how I was doing mentally and physically after my horrible car accident. My case was taken care of very professionally and in a timely manner.

I don't write very many reviews but this one is warranted. Trust me when I say look no further than Blake Dolman and his team of Kelly Hancock and Ana Prats-Villa. In my 30 years of working with attorneys in various areas, I've never come across an attorney and team more competent, diligent, proactive and effective in addition to being extremely pleasant to work with. I heard the word 'No' from 30 other lawfirms I contacted. Blake and Kelly were the only ones who said 'Yes' and were successful in a recovery for me. I simply can't say enough great things about Blake and his team. He has my highest endorsement and gratitude.

The entire team of sosa law firm is efficient, accessible to clients and extremely detail oriented. They really help simplify the legal process of estate planning. I highly recommend! They are also very kind and attentive to the needs of clients, unlike other attorneys I’ve had to deal with I’ve never felt pressured on time in speaking to sosa, they don’t nickel and dime clients on small details such as consultations, phone calls, etc. They even added a personal touch my first visit of placing a welcome sign for me in the waiting room. They truly are a firm that cares about their clients and go above and beyond.

Clarence Darrow has nothing on this guy! He was such an amazing advocate for us. His analysis of the case, preparation, communication and negotiation skills served us really well.

Bill Martin represented me in a matter, and was OUTSTANDING. This was the first time I'd ever been represented by a lawyer, and Bill was exactly what I would have wanted/imagined in my lawyer. I had full faith that he was going to get a great outcome in my case. But, more importantly to me, Bill has a great "human touch." Litigation can be a harrowing experience for the parties involved, and Bill walked me through it with kindness and empathy. I will always remember what Bill did for me and the difference he made in my Life. I could not possibly give a higher recommendation than I am giving for Bill Martin - he truly is the best of the best.

I was named in a legal malpractice claim in a complex business lawsuit where I had been appointed "Receiver" of a corporation by the Judge in the case. Bill was appointed to represent me by my legal liability insurer. He did an outstanding job and got me dismissed from the lawsuit. This was a very stressful situation for me and Bill made it tolerable. Speaking as another Trial Lawyer, I highly recommend Bill Martin for any litigation you may have in Florida.

Sophia Huda, Esq. and her team took care of my husband and I when we were not sure what to do or who turn. After suffering from an accident where we were hit by not one but two cars head-on, we discovered our options for recovery were limited. Sophia and her team worked diligently to help us get the medical attention we needed and care that would help us overcome the physical and emotional toll of the accident. They were compassionate, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Sophia made sure we were always informed, answering every question with patience and clarity. Thanks to her team’s dedication, we were able to secure a settlement that covered our medical expenses and helped us move forward. We are forever grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend Sophia Huda, Esq. to anyone in need of expert legal representation.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
