Frequently Asked
Common Questions
Personal injury cases are handled on contingency, meaning you pay nothing upfront and owe no fees unless we recover compensation for you. All potential clients receive a free initial case evaluation to discuss their situation.
We focus on three areas: personal injury (auto accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, premises liability), employment law (wage theft, discrimination, wrongful termination), and civil litigation (breach of contract, class actions, business disputes).
Under current Florida law, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain exceptions can shorten or extend this window, so it's critical to consult an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Yes. Both Javier Basnuevo and Carlos Macias are fluent Spanish speakers. We offer consultations, case management, and communication in both English and Spanish to serve our diverse South Florida community.
Bring any documents related to your case: police reports, medical records, correspondence with insurance companies, employment records, contracts, and photographs. If you don't have everything, that's okay. We'll guide you through what's needed during our initial meeting.
