Delray Beach Personal Injury Lawyer

Injury Lawyers for Delray Beach Residents

The Injury Advocates represents people in Delray Beach 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 Delray Beach Crashes Happen

Delray Beach draws heavy visitor traffic to Atlantic Avenue and the beach, with commuters on I-95 and busy suburban corridors to the west. Many of the cases we see begin on:

  • Atlantic Avenue, downtown and on the beach, where crowded sidewalks, nightlife, and slow traffic put pedestrians at risk
  • I-95 at Atlantic Avenue and Linton Boulevard, where merging traffic causes serious crashes
  • Federal Highway (US-1) and A1A, busy coastal routes with frequent rear-end and pedestrian collisions
  • Linton Boulevard and Congress Avenue, high-volume connectors with intersection crashes
  • Military Trail and Jog Road, the main north-south routes through west Delray
  • Roads around the many 55-plus communities west of I-95, where older drivers and pedestrians are especially vulnerable

Your Case in Palm Beach County Courts

Injury cases from Delray Beach 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 Delray Beach 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 Delray Beach injury case be filed?

In Palm Beach County’s 15th Judicial Circuit. Smaller claims go to county court at the South County Courthouse on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach; larger lawsuits are heard at the Main Courthouse in West Palm Beach.

I was hit by a car on Atlantic Avenue. What should I do?

Get medical care, report the crash to police, and photograph the scene if you can. Then call us before speaking with any insurer. Pedestrian cases often involve the driver’s coverage, your own PIP, and uninsured motorist coverage.

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.
