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 Dania Beach Crashes Happen
Dania Beach, Broward’s first city, sits just south of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades, with the Casino at Dania Beach, Dania Pointe along I-95, Federal Highway’s Antique Row and the beach drawing visitors onto a handful of busy roads. Many of the cases we see begin on:
We move quickly to secure the 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 Dania Beach are filed in Broward County’s 17th Judicial Circuit. Both smaller civil claims and larger injury lawsuits from Dania Beach are usually heard at the Broward County Courthouse at 201 SE 6th Street in downtown Fort Lauderdale, a short drive from the city. We know these courts, and we prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
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. 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.

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.
Florida’s no-fault system limits pain and suffering claims in car crashes. To recover those damages from the at-fault driver, you generally must show a significant and permanent injury, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or the death of a loved one. Prompt medical care and careful documentation are key to meeting that standard.
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.
For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline is generally two years from the date of the injury. Claims against government agencies have additional notice requirements, so it is important to speak with a lawyer early.
