Plantation, Florida Personal Injury Lawyer Resources

142 articles from our library

Plantation sits in western Broward County, just off I-595 and the Florida Turnpike, in one of the densest and fastest-moving stretches of South Florida traffic. Injury cases in the area tend to follow the pattern of the broader region: high-volume rear-end crashes, rideshare and delivery-vehicle collisions, pedestrian strikes in parking lots and shopping plazas, and premises liability claims at the large retail and hospitality sites that line University Drive and Sunrise Boulevard. Florida's legal framework then determines what an injured person can actually recover.

Florida has made significant changes to its personal injury laws in recent years, including adjustments to the comparative fault rule and to the statute of limitations for negligence claims. Because these rules have shifted, it is especially important to confirm the exact deadline and fault standard that applies to your specific case before making any assumptions. The rule that applied a few years ago may not be the rule that applies today. Florida also maintains a no-fault auto insurance system with mandatory Personal Injury Protection, which pays initial medical bills and lost wages through your own insurer before any third-party claim is filed. In my 32 years of practice, the number one way Florida cases get lost is people assuming the old rules still apply and waiting too long.

Goldberg & Loren handles Plantation injury cases across the major practice areas: auto and truck crashes, motorcycle and bicycle wrecks, rideshare and delivery-driver collisions, slip-and-fall and premises cases, dog bites, and wrongful death. George Goldberg founded the firm after starting his career in 1994 defending airlines and insurers and switching to the plaintiff side in 1996. In Florida, where the defense bar is sophisticated and insurers are aggressive, that background is directly useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
Florida's deadlines for negligence-based personal injury claims have changed in recent years, and the time you have depends on when the injury occurred and which rules were in effect on that date. Because these rules have shifted, do not rely on older information. Call us and we will confirm the exact deadline that applies to your case.
What is Florida's no-fault PIP system?
Florida requires every auto insurance policy to include Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which pays a portion of your medical bills and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash, up to the policy limits. PIP is the first source of recovery after a car crash in Florida, and it is separate from any claim against the at-fault driver.
I slipped and fell at a store in Plantation. Is that a case?
Florida premises liability law requires proof that the business knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn about it. These cases often turn on surveillance video, maintenance logs, and witness statements, and that evidence can disappear quickly if a lawyer does not send a preservation letter within days of the fall.
What if the driver who hit me was uninsured or had low limits?
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is available on Florida auto policies and is the primary recovery source when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little. These claims still require proof of fault and damages, and insurers contest them just like any other claim.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Almost never. In my experience, early offers on Florida injury cases are a fraction of what the claim is worth, and they are usually made before the injured person has finished medical treatment. Call a lawyer before signing anything. A free consultation costs nothing and can change the value of your case significantly.
What does Goldberg & Loren charge for a Plantation case?
Nothing up front. We handle Florida injury cases on a contingency fee. We only get paid if we recover money for you, and our fee comes out of the recovery. The consultation is free, we advance case costs, and if we do not win, you owe us nothing.
