Boca Raton Personal Injury Lawyer

Injury Lawyers for Boca Raton Residents

The Injury Advocates represents people in Boca Raton who have been seriously hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes, falls, and other accidents, and families who have lost a loved one. We handle cases throughout Palm Beach County and meet clients wherever is easiest for them. Our founder, Kweku Darfoor, is personally involved in every case.

Our attorneys have handled high-profile Palm Beach County litigation, including the civil case for the family of Corey Jones against the City of Palm Beach Gardens, which settled for $2 million. Insurance companies work to pay as little as possible on serious claims. We find the angles they would rather you not see, and we prepare every case as if it will be tried in court.

Where Boca Raton Crashes Happen

Boca Raton sits at the southern end of Palm Beach County, with heavy commuter traffic to Broward, a large university, and busy retail corridors. Many of the cases we see begin on:

  • I-95, between Glades Road and Yamato Road, where interchange traffic and sudden slowdowns cause serious crashes
  • Glades Road, a crowded east-west corridor past Town Center and the FAU campus
  • Federal Highway (US-1) and Dixie Highway through downtown and Mizner Park, where pedestrians and cyclists are at risk
  • Palmetto Park Road and Yamato Road, busy connectors with frequent intersection crashes
  • Military Trail and State Road 7 (US-441), west Boca’s main north-south routes
  • Roads around Florida Atlantic University, where student pedestrians and cyclists share busy roads

Your Case in Palm Beach County Courts

Injury cases from Boca Raton are filed in Palm Beach County’s 15th Judicial Circuit, which has its own judges, juries, and local procedures. Smaller civil claims (up to $50,000) are handled in county court at the South County Courthouse, 200 W. Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. Larger injury lawsuits are heard by the circuit court at the Main Courthouse, 205 N. Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach.

If the at-fault driver or company is based in Broward County, your case may also be able to be filed there. We explain the options during your free consultation, and you work with the same attorney either way.

How Long Do You Have to File?

For most Florida negligence claims, the deadline is generally two years from the date of the injury. Claims against a city, county, or other government agency have their own notice requirements and damage limits under Florida’s sovereign immunity law. Because evidence and deadlines both slip away, it is best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after a serious injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to come to your office in Plantation?

No. Most of our Boca Raton clients never need to make the trip. We meet by phone, by video, or at your home or hospital, and we handle most of the case remotely.

Where would my Boca Raton injury case be filed?

In Palm Beach County’s 15th Judicial Circuit. Smaller claims go to county court at the South County Courthouse in Delray Beach; larger lawsuits are heard at the Main Courthouse in West Palm Beach. If the defendant is based in Broward, filing there may also be an option.

I was hit while walking or biking near FAU. Who pays?

Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and give cyclists at least three feet when passing. If you were hit, the driver’s bodily injury coverage, your own PIP, and your uninsured motorist coverage may all apply. We identify every source of recovery.

How much does it cost to hire The Injury Advocates?

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.
