West Palm Beach Personal Injury Lawyer

Injury Lawyers for West Palm Beach Residents

The Injury Advocates represents people in West Palm 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 West Palm Beach Crashes Happen

West Palm Beach is the county seat and its busiest urban center, with a dense downtown, a major airport, and the interchange of I-95 and Okeechobee Boulevard. Many of the cases we see begin on:

  • I-95 through downtown and at Okeechobee Boulevard, Southern Boulevard, and 45th Street, where heavy traffic causes serious crashes
  • Okeechobee Boulevard, a wide, fast corridor from downtown to the Turnpike with frequent severe collisions
  • Southern Boulevard (US-98) near Palm Beach International Airport, with heavy rental car and rideshare traffic
  • Dixie Highway, Olive Avenue, and Flagler Drive, downtown streets where pedestrians and cyclists are at risk
  • Military Trail and Australian Avenue, busy north-south routes through residential and commercial areas
  • Belvedere Road and Forest Hill Boulevard, east-west connectors with intersection crashes

Your Case in Palm Beach County Courts

Injury cases from West Palm Beach are filed in Palm Beach County’s 15th Judicial Circuit, which has its own judges, juries, and local procedures. Both county court and circuit court cases from West Palm Beach are heard at the Main Courthouse, 205 N. Dixie Highway, in downtown West Palm 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 West Palm 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 West Palm Beach injury case be filed?

At the Main Courthouse of Palm Beach County’s 15th Judicial Circuit, 205 N. Dixie Highway in downtown West Palm Beach, where both county and circuit civil cases are heard.

I was hurt in a crash with a rental car or rideshare driver near the airport. Who pays?

It depends on who was driving and for whom. Rideshare companies carry large policies that apply while a driver is on a trip, rental car companies have limited liability under federal law, and your own PIP and uninsured motorist coverage may apply. We sort out every policy involved.

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.
