Frequently Asked Questions
I was injured while visiting Miami. Do I have to stay in (or return to) Florida for my case?
No. Stabinski Law can handle many visitor injury cases by phone, email, and video after you return home. Out-of-state and international clients often move through the case without making another trip to Florida. One vacationing client who fell in Miami said finding a local attorney was “even harder” than the injury itself; after hiring us, she stayed informed throughout the case from a thousand miles away.
Can I use a lawyer from my home state instead?
Florida law will usually govern an injury claim that arises in Florida, and the case is often handled in Florida courts. That means you generally need a lawyer licensed and experienced here, even if you live somewhere else. Many out-of-state attorneys refer Florida injury matters to local counsel for that reason. Hiring a Miami firm does not mean you have to stay in Miami.
What if I was injured on a cruise that left from Port Miami?
Contact an attorney quickly. Cruise injury claims often follow deadlines in the passenger ticket contract, including written notice within six months and a lawsuit within one year, often in a specific Florida federal court. Missing those contractual deadlines can end a strong claim. Speak with a lawyer well before the one-year mark so the ticket, notice requirements, and court rules can be reviewed.
I was in an accident in a rental car on vacation in Florida — what should I do?
If you have any pain or discomfort, get medical care within 14 days. Florida’s no-fault insurance rules can affect PIP benefits if treatment is delayed, and crash injuries do not always show up on day one. Then let an attorney review the overlapping coverage, including the rental agreement, your own auto policy, credit-card coverage, and the at-fault driver’s insurance. You can start with a free 24/7 phone consultation before you fly home, and you are just as welcome to call us once you are back.
I live outside the U.S. Can I still bring a claim for my Miami injury?
Yes. International visitors injured in Florida can pursue compensation under Florida law, and Stabinski Law works with clients abroad by video, email, and phone. Hablamos español. Spanish-speaking clients and family members can ask questions, discuss documents, and understand the next steps in the process. The consultation is free wherever you are calling from.
How much does it cost to hire a Miami attorney from out of state?
The fee arrangement is the same for visitors as it is for local clients. Stabinski Law handles injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, so you pay no upfront attorney’s fee and the firm only receives a fee if compensation is recovered for you. The fee percentage and case costs are explained in writing before you hire the firm. Distance does not add a separate legal fee.
Do you only take cases for injuries that happened in Miami?
No, Stabinski Law is a Miami firm and handles visitor injury claims that happen throughout South Florida. Where the injury happened is what matters, not where you were staying or where you live now. Most of the case can be handled remotely by phone, email, and video after you go home.
