FAQ

Common Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about your rights, your insurance, and how we work — straight answers, no legal jargon.

Yes — and it costs you nothing. Call us at (954) 990-0900 or fill out our contact form to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll listen to your situation and tell you honestly whether we can help.
No upfront costs, ever. We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning we only get paid if we win or settle your case. Our attorney fee is 33% of the final settlement. If your claim involves a municipality or government entity, the fee is reduced to 25% by law. If we don't recover for you, you owe us nothing.
Our firm has multiple attorneys who may work on your case, which means you benefit from the combined insights of our entire team. Laurence Zieper has over 35 years of personal injury experience, and David Zieper brings extensive federal court expertise. You'll always have direct access to your legal team.
There's no fixed timeline — every case is different. The severity of your injuries, the complexity of liability, and how quickly insurance companies respond all affect the duration. We keep you informed every step of the way and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible without leaving money on the table.
Do not respond to or sign anything without first speaking to us. Forward all letters, medical bills, and insurance correspondence to our office immediately. We'll review everything and handle communications on your behalf so nothing jeopardizes your claim.
Florida requires a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and $10,000 in Property Damage Liability. However, we strongly recommend adding Bodily Injury coverage, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, and GAP insurance to fully protect yourself and your family.
PIP — also called "No-Fault" insurance — covers 80% of your medical expenses and 60% of lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. It also covers resident household members, children injured on school buses, and passengers who don't own a vehicle. We recommend choosing a zero deductible on your PIP policy.
Med-Pay is supplemental medical coverage that picks up where PIP leaves off. It can cover the remaining 20% of medical costs that PIP doesn't pay, and continues providing coverage after your PIP benefits are exhausted. It's a valuable add-on that many people overlook.
UM coverage protects you when the at-fault driver has no insurance, insufficient coverage, or flees the scene. It also covers you and your family as passengers in someone else's vehicle, or if you're injured as a pedestrian or cyclist. Stackable UM allows you to combine the limits across all your vehicles — we highly recommend it.
Three types: Collision covers damage from accidents regardless of fault. Comprehensive covers fire, theft, and acts of nature. GAP insurance covers the difference between your car's value and what you owe the lender if it's totaled — essential if you have a loan or lease.
Yes, but coverage depends on your policy and the circumstances. Insurance typically pays for a rental only while your car is being repaired and for a reasonable daily rate. We recommend adding rental coverage to your policy in advance. If your vehicle isn't drivable, contact us before renting so we can advise you on what you're entitled to.
Act quickly. Insurance companies will only cover a reasonable amount of storage time, and daily fees accumulate fast. If possible, move the vehicle to your home or a free location. Contact us immediately — we can intervene with the insurance company to resolve storage disputes before costs spiral.
Stay calm and follow these steps:

1. Call the police and report the accident immediately. If you're blocking traffic, move to a safe area first.
2. Exchange information with all parties — full name, address, phone, license plate, vehicle make/model, and insurance policy number.
3. Collect contact information from any witnesses and make sure the police receive it.
4. Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine — some injuries appear hours or days later.
5. Report the accident to your own insurance company, even if you weren't at fault. Do not give statements or sign documents without legal advice.
6. Photograph all damage to vehicles, injuries, and the accident scene from multiple angles.
1. Notify the property manager or owner of the accident immediately and ensure a written report is filed.
2. Gather contact information from any witnesses.
3. Write down exactly what any employee or manager says to you — admissions like "this has happened before" are legally significant.
4. Photograph the hazardous condition and the surrounding area as soon as possible.
5. Seek medical treatment right away, even for injuries that seem minor.

Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions. If negligence caused your fall, you may be entitled to compensation.
Photograph all vehicle damage thoroughly before making any repairs. Get multiple repair estimates. Keep a precise record of every workday you missed due to the accident, and maintain your trip sheets for at least one month prior to the accident. This documentation is critical to recovering lost income as a self-employed driver.
Walk-ins are welcome, but we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment so an attorney is guaranteed to be available when you arrive. Call us at (954) 990-0900 — we'll find a time that works for you, including evenings and weekends for urgent matters.
No — not without legal counsel. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Once you hire us, all communications with insurance companies go through our office. We handle the negotiations so you can focus on your recovery.
We take your case to court. We negotiate aggressively first, but we're fully prepared to litigate when insurers act in bad faith or undervalue your claim. Our attorneys have extensive trial experience in Florida state courts and federal courts. Insurance companies know this — it often leads to better settlement offers.
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and in certain cases, punitive damages. Every case is unique — a free consultation with our team will clarify what you may be entitled to.
