Serving Fort Lauderdale | Miami | Palm Beach

A car accident can change your life in seconds—leaving you with injuries, medical bills, missed days from work, and constant pressure from insurance companies trying to settle your claim for way less than it’s worth. At WLT Law Firm, we know how overwhelming this can be—and we’re here to help.

Led by Attorney Walwin “Wali” Taylor, a seasoned South Florida personal injury attorney, our firm fights relentlessly for people injured in car crashes or due to no fault of their own. With over a decade of legal experience and a unique background as a former insurance adjuster and corporate in-house counsel for one of the largest insurance carriers in the country, Wali brings powerful insight into how insurers operate—and how to beat them at their own game.

Why Legal Representation Matters After a Car Crash

You may think you can handle a claim on your own—but remember, insurance companies have lawyers, and you should too. An experienced car accident lawyer in Florida can help you avoid common mistakes and recover the full compensation you deserve.

A car accident attorney can:

  • Investigate the scene and gather crucial evidence
  • Determine liability and identify all responsible parties
  • Calculate all damages—medical, financial, and emotional
  • Negotiate with insurance adjusters who want to pay you less
  • File a lawsuit if a fair settlement isn’t offered

At WLT Law Firm, we don’t treat you like a case number. We offer personalized, strategic support from day one.

Why Choose Attorney Walwin “Wali” Taylor?

Walwin isn’t just any personal injury lawyer—he’s a former licensed insurance claim adjuster and in-house insurance lawyer, who knows the tricks insurers use to underpay claims. With experience as both a licensed Florida insurance adjuster and in-house legal counsel for a top national insurer, he’s uniquely equipped to anticipate their every move.

What this means for you:

  • Your case is built with a deep understanding of how insurers value claims
  • You gain an edge in negotiations and litigation
  • You get straightforward legal advice, backed by industry expertise

Whether you were hit by a distracted driver in Miami, injured in a rear-end crash in Fort Lauderdale, or sideswiped on I-95 near Palm Beach, Wali will fight for the results you deserve.

What Damages Can You Recover After a Car Accident?

Every case is different, but you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost income and reduced earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage (car repairs or replacement)
  • Emotional distress
  • Long-term care or rehabilitation costs
  • Disability or disfigurement

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—you only pay if we win.

How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?

Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the accident.
