Common Causes of Injuries in Fort Lauderdale 

Fort Lauderdale's roadways rank among the busiest in Broward County, with frequent serious crashes at the I-95/I-595 interchange, along US-1/Federal Highway, and on Sunrise Boulevard and Las Olas Boulevard, where restaurant and nightlife traffic brings a steady stream of pedestrians, cyclists, and rideshare vehicles into close contact with cars. 

Fort Lauderdale's unique canal system and proximity to Port Everglades also mean we handle cases you won't see in most cities — boating accidents on the Intracoastal Waterway, and injuries to cruise passengers and crew connected to Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport shuttle services. When injuries are severe, patients are commonly treated at Broward Health Medical Center or Holy Cross Hospital. 

Understanding Florida's Personal Injury Laws 

Florida's personal injury laws changed significantly in 2023, and they affect nearly every claim we handle. Under Florida Statute § 95.11, most negligence claims must generally be filed within two years of the date of injury. Florida also follows a modified comparative negligence rule (Fla. Stat. § 768.81): if you're found more than 50% at fault for your own injury, you're barred from recovering any compensation. 

Because Florida is a no-fault state for car accidents, drivers carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) with a $10,000 minimum under Fla. Stat. § 627.736. To pursue compensation from an at-fault driver for pain and suffering, you generally must show a "serious injury" as defined by Florida law. Boating and cruise-related injuries follow different rules entirely, and cruise line tickets often contain strict, short deadlines for filing a claim — another reason to speak with an attorney right away. 

Compensation Available for Your Fort Lauderdale Injury Claim 

Fort Lauderdale injury victims may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages and diminished future earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and permanent scarring or disfigurement. In fatal cases, surviving family members may be entitled to wrongful death damages. 

We work with treating physicians, accident reconstructionists, maritime experts, and economists as needed to fully value your claim before we ever discuss settlement with an insurance company or cruise line.
