Tamarac Personal Injury Lawyer

Tamarac Personal Injury Lawyer

Injury Lawyers for Tamarac Residents

The Injury Advocates represents people in Tamarac who have been seriously hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes, falls, and other accidents, and families who have lost a loved one. Our office is about 15 minutes south on Pine Island Road. 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 Tamarac Crashes Happen

Tamarac is home to busy commuter roads and a large community of older residents. Many of the cases we see begin on:

  • Commercial Boulevard and McNab Road, busy east-west roads with frequent intersection crashes
  • University Drive, Pine Island Road, Nob Hill Road, and Rock Island Road, north-south routes through neighborhoods and shopping areas
  • State Road 7 (US-441), on the city’s east side, where pedestrians are especially at risk
  • The Sawgrass Expressway, on the city’s western edge, with high-speed traffic

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 Tamarac are filed in Broward County’s 17th Judicial Circuit. The West Regional Courthouse at 100 N. Pine Island Road in Plantation 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to come to your office?

No. Our office is in Plantation, about 15 minutes south on Pine Island Road, but many clients never need to make the trip. We meet by phone, by video, or at your home or hospital in Tamarac.

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.

What if an older family member was hurt or neglected in a nursing home?

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities must provide reasonable care. Falls, bedsores, medication errors, and other signs of neglect or abuse can be grounds for a claim. We handle nursing home abuse and neglect cases and can help you understand your family’s options.

What if I was partly at fault?

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.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?

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.
