Yes! Attorney Perez and the VP Law team provide full bilingual services in English and Spanish. We’re proud to serve all South Florida communities.
VP Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee, so you pay absolutely nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover, clearly outlined in your retainer agreement before you sign anything.
It means you bear zero upfront cost. If we don’t recover money for your case, you owe VP Law nothing. This allows injured victims to pursue justice regardless of their financial situation.
For non-contingency cases, fees are clearly discussed and agreed upon at your consultation. We offer transparent, competitive pricing and will never surprise you with hidden costs.
For contingency cases, we typically advance the costs of litigation (filing fees, expert witnesses, etc.) and recover them from your settlement or verdict. This is detailed in your retainer agreement.
As of 2024, the deadline to file most personal injury claims in Florida is two years from the date of injury. Do not wait. Contact VP Law right after any accident to protect your rights.
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence system. As long as you are not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages, though your award may be reduced by your share of the fault.
Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement without ever going to trial. However, VP Law prepares every case as if it will go to trial, which often results in better settlement offers. If trial is necessary, Attorney Perez will be by your side.
You may be entitled to compensation for: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and more. The specific damages depend on the facts of your case.
It may not be too late, but time is running out. Contact VP Law immediately so we can evaluate your situation and advise you on whether you still have a viable claim before the statute of limitations expires.
Do not accept a denial as final. Contact VP Law right away for a free review of your denied homeowner claim and policy. Insurance companies are required to handle claims in good faith, and a denial can often be successfully challenged.
Bad faith occurs when an insurer unreasonably denies, delays, or underpays a valid claim. Under Florida law, you may be entitled to additional damages beyond your original claim if your insurer acted in bad faith.
Florida generally allows five years to pursue a breach of contract claim against your insurer. However, acting quickly leads to much better outcomes, because evidence is preserved and documentation is easier to obtain.
In most cases, yes. A single traffic ticket can increase your insurance premiums significantly over several years. The cost of having VP Law contest your ticket is often far less than the long-term insurance cost of accepting the violation.
In most cases, no. Attorney Perez appears on your behalf, meaning you typically don’t need to take time off work or rearrange your schedule.
