Were You Injured in a Car Accident in Boca Raton?
Car accidents injure people in Boca Raton and South Florida every day. Some injuries are minor—soreness that goes away quickly. Others are life-altering: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, paralysis, amputations, or death.
No matter how serious, if another driver’s negligence caused your injury, you have the legal right to recover compensation.
By law, the at-fault driver’s insurance must pay for the harm they caused. But insurance companies are businesses. They want to pay as little as possible. That’s where we come in.
Our attorneys know how to build a strong case, gather evidence, and negotiate—or go to court—to get you fair compensation.
What Does a Car Accident Claim Cover?
Florida law lets you recover several types of damages after a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence:
Medical Expenses
Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, physical therapy, ongoing treatment, and future medical care for your injuries.
Lost Wages
Income you missed while recovering or unable to work. This includes reduced earning capacity if your injury affects your ability to work long-term.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, and reduced quality of life caused by the accident.
Property Damage
Repair or replacement of your vehicle and any other personal property damaged in the crash.
Permanent Disability or Disfigurement
If the accident caused lasting impairment or visible scarring that affects how you look or function.
Wrongful Death Damages
If a loved one was killed in the crash, surviving family members can recover funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.
Punitive Damages
In rare cases where the at-fault driver’s conduct was especially reckless or intentional, you may recover additional damages to punish that behavior and prevent similar conduct.
How a Car Accident Case Works: Step by Step
Understanding the process removes uncertainty. Here’s how we handle your case from start to finish:
Step 1 – Free Case Evaluation
You contact us and speak with an attorney. We listen to what happened, review your injuries and damages, and explain your legal options. There is no cost and no obligation.
Step 2 – Investigation
We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photos of the scene and vehicle damage. We also get any available video footage to prove who was at fault and show the other driver’s negligence.
Step 3 – Demand Letter
We calculate your total damages and send a detailed demand to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. We back it up with evidence and medical records.
Step 4 – Negotiation
We negotiate with the insurance adjuster to reach a fair settlement. Most car accident cases settle without going to trial.
Step 5 – Settlement or Lawsuit
If the insurance company offers fair compensation, we settle. If not, we file a lawsuit and prepare your case for trial.
Step 6 – Resolution
Whether through settlement or trial verdict, you receive your compensation. We handle all paperwork and legal work so you can focus on recovery.
Timeline: Simple cases may settle in 3–6 months. More complex cases with serious injuries can take 1–2 years or longer. The timeline depends on how serious your injuries are and how willing the insurance company is to negotiate fairly.

Common Questions About Car Accidents in Boca Raton
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a car accident?
In Florida, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal-injury lawsuit under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a). But contact an attorney sooner. Evidence can disappear and memories fade. Do not wait.
What if the other driver had no insurance?
Florida law requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance. If the at-fault driver was uninsured, you may recover through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. You can also pursue the driver directly.
Can I recover damages if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Florida follows comparative negligence. Even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible under Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6). Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much is my case worth?
The value depends on how serious your injuries are, medical expenses, lost wages, and how the accident has affected your life. We evaluate each case individually and can give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your medical records and damages.
Do I have to go to trial?
Most car accident cases settle before trial. But if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are ready to take your case to court and fight for you in front of a jury.
What should I do immediately after a crash?
Call 911 if anyone is injured. Get medical attention. Exchange information with the other driver. Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Report the accident to your insurance company. Then contact us as soon as possible.
Common Injuries in Car Accidents
Car accidents can cause many types of injuries, from minor to catastrophic:
- Whiplash and neck injuries: soft-tissue damage that can cause chronic pain and limited movement
- Back injuries: ranging from muscle strains to herniated discs and spinal cord damage
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): from mild concussions to severe brain damage affecting thinking and function
- Broken bones and fractures: requiring surgery, casting, and months of recovery
- Internal injuries: bleeding, organ damage, or other injuries not immediately visible
- Lacerations and scarring: visible injuries that may require plastic surgery
- Amputation or limb loss: in severe crashes, loss of a limb can be catastrophic and life-altering
- Paralysis: spinal cord injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis (paraplegia or quadriplegia), causing permanent impairment
- Wrongful death: the most catastrophic outcome, leaving families to cope with loss and financial hardship
