Injury Lawyers for Miramar Residents
The Injury Advocates represents people in Miramar who have been seriously hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes, and families who have lost a loved one. Because Miramar sits on the Broward–Miami-Dade line, we handle cases in both counties. Our founder, Kweku Darfoor, is personally involved in every case.
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 Miramar Crashes Happen
Miramar’s location on the county line means heavy commuter traffic between Broward and Miami-Dade every day. 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 Miramar are filed in Broward County’s 17th Judicial Circuit. The South Regional Courthouse at 3550 Hollywood Boulevard in nearby Hollywood handles smaller civil claims, while larger injury lawsuits are typically heard at the Broward County Courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale. 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.

Why Miramar Clients Choose The Injury Advocates
No. Our office is in Plantation, about 25 minutes north via I-75 and I-595, but many clients never need to make the trip. We meet by phone, by video, or at your home or hospital in Miramar.
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.
Then your case may be filed in Miami-Dade County, which has its own courts and local procedures. We represent clients in both Broward and Miami-Dade, so you can keep the same attorney no matter which side of the county line the crash happened on.
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.
