The Injury Advocates is a Plantation-based personal injury law firm serving Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and South Florida. We represent people hurt by someone else’s negligence, from a rear-end crash on I-595 to a brain injury that changes a family’s life, and the families of people who did not survive. The work in every case is the same: investigate before the insurer finishes its version, prove the injury with the right experts, find every policy that applies, and be ready to try the case if the offer does not reflect what it is worth.
The pages below are organized by how people get hurt and by the injuries that result. Each one explains the Florida rules that apply, what the insurance company will argue, and how we answer it. If you are not sure where your situation fits, call 833-DARFOOR or text (754) 289-3211; the consultation is free and there is no fee unless we win.
Florida’s no-fault system, optional bodily injury coverage, and a 14-day treatment rule make vehicle cases procedural from the first day. We handle the coverage questions and the fault dispute together, because in a serious crash the second one is worthless without the first.
These are the cases where the injury changes the rest of a life. The value of the claim is in the future: surgeries not yet scheduled, care not yet needed, and income that will never be earned. Proving that future with life-care planners and economists, and finding the coverage to pay for it, is where our work is concentrated.
Property owners, businesses, and manufacturers owe duties to the people on their premises and using their products. These cases turn on notice, maintenance records, and surveillance video that is routinely overwritten within weeks, so the preservation letter goes out the day we are hired.
Claims against hospitals, care facilities, police agencies, and insurers follow special procedures: pre-suit notices, sovereign-immunity caps, and claim-handling statutes that can end a case before it starts if they are missed. We deal with them routinely.
One conversation is usually enough to tell you whether you have a case, which coverage applies, and what the next step is. There is no obligation and nothing to pay.
Call 833-DARFOOR or (754) 812-8444, or text (754) 289-3211. Phones are answered 24/7, the consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we win.
Why The Injury Advocates
Yes. Our office is in Plantation, and most of our clients come from Broward County, North Miami-Dade (North Miami, Miami Gardens, and North Miami Beach), and Palm Beach County. We meet by phone and video as well as in person, so where you live rarely matters. Areas we serve →
Nothing up front. Every case is handled on a contingency fee: the fee is a percentage of what we recover, and if we do not win you owe no attorney’s fees and no case costs. The consultation is free.
No. We do not handle workers’ compensation. If you were hurt on the job because of someone other than your employer, such as a driver, a property owner, or a product manufacturer, that part of the case is a personal injury claim, and we handle it alongside your workers’ compensation benefits.
Start with the one that describes how you were hurt, then the one that describes the injury. A rideshare crash that causes a brain injury is both an Uber and Lyft case and a traumatic brain injury case, and we handle both sides of it. One attorney, Kweku Darfoor, is responsible for the whole claim.
Sooner than the deadline suggests. For most negligence claims arising after March 24, 2023, suit must be filed within two years; wrongful death and medical negligence claims carry their own two-year limits; and PIP benefits after a crash require treatment within 14 days. Claims against government agencies need written notice before suit. Video, vehicle data, and witnesses are lost long before any of those dates. Check your deadlines →
