Cases We Handle

The Florida Law Group represents victims of serious accidents across Broward County and South Florida.

Our team has the experience and resources to take on negligent drivers, property owners, and corporations in cases involving:

  • Car Accidents — Collisions are common on I-95, Florida’s Turnpike, and local roads like Broward Boulevard and US-1. We handle cases involving distracted drivingdrunk driving, speeding, uninsured motorists, and Uber or Lyft crashes.
  • Truck Accidents — Commercial vehicles on I-595 and I-75 cause devastating injuries when drivers or carriers cut corners on safety. We pursue companies and insurers for violations involving fatigue, cargo errors, or maintenance failures.
  • Motorcycle Accidents — Florida’s year-round riding weather also means a higher risk of motorcycle crashes. We represent riders injured by careless motorists who fail to yield, make unsafe lane changes, or ignore visibility rules.
  • Bicycle Accidents — Cyclists in areas like Las Olas, Downtown Fort Lauderdale, and A1A face constant hazards from distracted drivers. We handle cases involving intersection collisions, dooring incidents, and negligent motorists.
  • Pedestrian Accidents — From busy crosswalks on Sunrise Boulevard to residential neighborhoods, pedestrians are at risk when drivers speed, text, or fail to stop. We fight to hold reckless drivers accountable.
  • Bus Accidents — We represent passengers and pedestrians injured in collisions involving Broward County Transit (BCT) or other public and private transportation providers.
  • Premises Accidents — Property owners across Broward County must maintain safe environments. We handle slip-and-fall, trip-and-fall, and negligent security claims involving unsafe stores, apartment complexes, and public spaces.

How Florida’s Personal Injury Laws Protect Victims

Florida’s personal injury laws are designed to ensure that victims are not left to bear the cost of someone else’s negligence. To succeed in a claim, you must establish:

  • Duty of care – The defendant had a responsibility to act safely.
  • Breach of duty – That responsibility was not met.
  • Causation – The breach directly caused harm.
  • Damages – You suffered measurable physical, emotional, or financial loss.

Our attorneys build strong cases through investigation, expert testimony, and evidence analysis, connecting each element of negligence to the damages you sustained. Whether the defendant is a reckless driver or a major corporation, we have the experience and trial skills to hold them accountable.

Understanding Compensation in Florida Injury Cases

The goal of a personal injury case is to restore victims to the position they would have been in had the injury not occurred. Florida law allows recovery for:

  • Economic damages – Medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, and reduced earning capacity.
  • Non-economic damages – Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Wrongful death damages – Funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of financial support.
  • Punitive damages – Awarded in cases of egregious or intentional misconduct to punish wrongdoers.

Our Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorneys calculate both short-term and long-term losses, working to ensure every client receives the maximum compensation possible.

Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury FAQ

If you have questions about your case, call our Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyers today at (833) 260-0943 for a free consultation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident or injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under Florida’s statute of limitations. 

However, there are important exceptions: for example, if the injured person is a minor, if the at-fault party cannot be located, or if the injury wasn’t discovered right away (as in some product defect or toxic exposure cases), the deadline may be extended. Because these rules are strict and can vary, it’s best to speak with a personal injury attorney in Fort Lauderdale as soon as possible to preserve your right to compensation.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

Yes. Insurance companies often make early settlement offers to limit their financial exposure. These offers rarely reflect the full value of your claim, especially if your injuries require future care or impact your ability to work. An experienced lawyer can assess your case, calculate your damages, and negotiate from a position of strength, often increasing recovery far beyond what’s first offered.

What types of cases do you handle in Broward County?

Our team represents victims in a wide range of personal injury cases, including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents, as well as bus and premises liability claims. We regularly handle cases filed in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court for Broward County and are familiar with local procedures, judges, and defense counsel.

Will my case go to trial?

Many cases are resolved through settlement, but our firm prepares every case as if it will go to trial. This readiness often strengthens our negotiation position and can lead to better settlements. If a fair offer isn’t made, we’re ready to present your case to a jury.

What does it cost to hire The Florida Law Group?

There are no upfront fees. We work entirely on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. This ensures that anyone, regardless of financial circumstance, can pursue justice after an accident.
