Injury Lawyers in the Heart of Plantation
The Injury Advocates represents people in Plantation and across Broward County who have been seriously hurt in car, truck, and motorcycle crashes, and families who have lost a loved one. Our office is on Pine Island Road, a few minutes from many Plantation neighborhoods, so you can meet with the attorney handling your case without driving across the county.
Since 2014, our founder, Kweku Darfoor, has been directly involved in every case the firm takes on. Insurance companies work to pay as little as possible on serious claims. We look for the angles they would rather you not see, and we prepare every case as if it will be tried in court.
Where Plantation Crashes Happen
Plantation sits at the crossroads of some of the busiest roads in Broward County. Many of the cases we see begin on:
Wherever your crash happened, we move quickly to secure evidence that disappears fast: traffic and business camera footage, vehicle data, 911 recordings, and witness statements.

Your Case in Broward County Courts
Injury cases from Plantation are filed in Broward County. The county’s West Regional Courthouse is just up Pine Island Road from our office, and the main Broward County Courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale, where larger injury lawsuits are typically heard, is a short drive east on I-595 or Broward Boulevard. We know these courts, and we are ready to take your case to trial when an insurer will not make a fair offer.
How Long Do You Have to File?
For most Florida negligence claims, including car accidents, the deadline is generally two years from the date of the injury. Wrongful death claims also generally must be filed within two years of the death. Claims against government agencies have their own notice requirements and shorter timelines. Because evidence and deadlines both slip away, it is best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after a serious injury.

No. You are welcome at our Plantation office, but we also meet clients by phone or video, and we can come to you at home or in the hospital if you cannot travel.
Nothing up front. Your consultation is free, and we handle injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means our fee is a percentage of the money we recover for you. If we do not win your case, you owe no attorney’s fees and no case costs.
Under Florida’s comparative negligence law, you can generally still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, though your award is reduced by your share of fault. Insurers often overstate a victim’s fault, so do not assume you have no case.
Florida requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which pays part of your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, up to policy limits. To use PIP benefits, you generally must get medical treatment within 14 days of the crash. When injuries are serious, you may be able to pursue the at-fault driver beyond PIP.
For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline is generally two years from the date of the injury. Some claims, including those against government agencies, have different notice requirements, so it is important to speak with a lawyer early.
