Injury Lawyers for Weston Residents
The Injury Advocates represents people in Weston 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 a short drive east on I-595. 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 Weston Crashes Happen
Weston sits where major highways meet at the western edge of Broward County. 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 Weston 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.

Why Weston Clients Choose The Injury Advocates
No. Our office is in Plantation, a short drive east on I-595, but many clients never need to make the trip. We meet by phone, by video, or at your home or hospital in Weston.
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.
Truck crashes often involve more than one responsible party, including the driver, the trucking company, and sometimes the company that loaded or maintained the truck. These companies usually carry larger insurance policies, and evidence such as driver logs and onboard data must be preserved quickly. Learn more on our truck accident page.
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.
