Wellington Personal Injury Lawyer

Injury Lawyers for Wellington Residents

The Injury Advocates represents people in Wellington 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 Wellington Crashes Happen

Wellington is a large suburban village west of West Palm Beach, with wide, fast arterial roads, seasonal equestrian traffic, and long commutes to I-95 and the Turnpike. Many of the cases we see begin on:

  • Southern Boulevard (US-98), the main route to West Palm Beach, with high speeds and serious crashes
  • Forest Hill Boulevard, Wellington’s busiest east-west road, past the Wellington Green mall and schools
  • State Road 7 (US-441), a fast north-south highway with frequent severe collisions
  • Lake Worth Road and Greenview Shores Boulevard, busy connectors with intersection crashes
  • South Shore Boulevard and Pierson Road, where equestrian-season traffic, trailers, and golf carts share the road
  • Roads around Wellington’s schools and parks, where young pedestrians and cyclists are at risk

Your Case in Palm Beach County Courts

Injury cases from Wellington 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 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 Wellington 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 Wellington injury case be filed?

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

I was hurt in a golf cart or equestrian-related accident. Can I bring a claim?

Often, yes. Golf cart crashes on public roads, injuries involving horse trailers, and accidents at equestrian venues can all support negligence claims against the driver, owner, or venue. We review the facts and the insurance that applies.

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.
