Case Snapshot: University Drive Intersection Collision

A Broward County driver was struck while traveling through a busy University Drive intersection. Initial symptoms seemed minor, but advanced imaging revealed serious spinal injuries.

Our firm immediately preserved evidence, obtained traffic camera footage, and prepared the case for litigation — resulting in a favorable outcome for the client.

When Should I Call a Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Lawyer?

You should contact an attorney as soon as possible after a crash. Evidence disappears quickly, and insurance companies begin building their defense immediately.

Understanding Florida No-Fault and PIP Insurance

• PIP pays first regardless of fault
• Medical treatment must occur within 14 days
• Serious injuries allow claims beyond PIP
• Health insurance may cover remaining costs
• Out-of-pocket expenses can escalate fast

Florida Statute of Limitations

Florida law limits how long you have to pursue an auto accident claim. Waiting too long can permanently bar recovery. Speak with a lawyer to confirm deadlines.

What If I Was Partially at Fault?

Florida follows modified comparative negligence rules. You may still recover compensation if you are 50% or less responsible for the crash.

Evidence That Strengthens Auto Accident Litigation

• Police crash reports
• Photos and videos
• Surveillance footage
• Witness statements
• Medical records
• Proof of lost income
