Key takeaways
  • Deadline: Florida gives you just 2 years to file most personal injury lawsuits under Fla. Stat. §95.11. House Bill 837 cut it from four years in March 2023.[2]
  • One firm, every injury case. Goldberg & Loren's Plantation office handles car and truck crashes, slip and falls, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and more.
  • Comparative fault: since HB 837, you recover nothing if you are found more than 50% at fault. Below that, your award is reduced by your share.[5]
  • You pay nothing upfront. We work on contingency, front every cost, and only get paid when we recover for you.
  • Hiring a lawyer matters. A Nolo readers' survey found represented victims recovered an average of $77,600, versus $17,600 for those who went it alone.[3]
  • George Goldberg has been a member of The Florida Bar since 1994 and has handled more than 20,000 injury cases. Call (954) 758-4553 for a free review.

Why Plantation Injury Victims Choose Goldberg & Loren

I started my legal career in Florida in 1994, the year I was admitted to The Florida Bar. My first job out of law school was on the defense side, working for the airlines and insurance companies in injury litigation.

I learned every delay tactic, every lowball strategy, every trick in their playbook. Then I walked away to fight for the people who actually need help.

Thirty years and more than 20,000 cases later, I still know exactly what an adjuster is doing when they offer you a few thousand dollars for a serious injury. Their first offer is never their best. It is a test to see if you will fold.[3]

Here is what makes our Plantation office different:

  • Florida Bar attorneys since 1994. Both founding partners were admitted in Florida and trained at Florida law schools.
  • 20,000+ cases handled with a 98% success rate across three decades of practice.
  • Over $500 million recovered for injured clients nationwide.
  • Defense-side experience. I know how insurers build cases against you, because I used to build them.
  • No fee unless we win. We front every cost and only get paid when you do.

George Goldberg earned his J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law and has been a member of The Florida Bar since 1994.[9] He personally oversees case strategy for Plantation clients.

George Goldberg spent his first years defending insurance companies.
He has spent the last 30 making them pay.

He learned every delay tactic and every lowball strategy, then switched sides to use it all for injured people. More than 20,000 cases. Over $500 million recovered. A 98% success rate. When the adjuster calls with a lowball offer, George already knows their next three moves.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Plantation

A personal injury claim can come from almost any situation where someone else's carelessness left you hurt. Our Plantation office handles the full range of injury cases.

If you do not see your situation below, call us anyway. The consultation is free, and we will tell you honestly whether you have a claim.

Car Accidents

Broward County is one of Florida's most crash-prone counties. We handle rear-end, T-bone, head-on, and multi-vehicle collisions, and the no-fault PIP claims that follow.

Truck Accidents

Collisions with commercial trucks on I-595, the Turnpike, and US 441 are governed by federal safety rules. We investigate driver logs, maintenance records, and cargo loading.

Bus Accidents

School buses, transit buses, and charter buses are held to a high duty of care. We pursue the carrier, the driver, and any other negligent party.

Motorcycle Accidents

South Florida's year-round riding season means a high volume of motorcycle crashes. Insurers often blame the rider, and we push back with evidence.

Pedestrian Accidents

Florida ranks among the most dangerous states for people on foot. We represent pedestrians struck in crosswalks, parking lots, and along Broward County's busy arterials.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists have no protection in a collision. We handle riders struck in bike lanes and at intersections, and push back when insurers try to blame the cyclist.

Slip and Fall & Premises Liability

Property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe. We handle falls in stores, apartments, and parking lots, plus negligent-security injury claims.

Wrongful Death

When a family loses a loved one to negligence, Florida's Wrongful Death Act allows recovery for funeral costs, lost support, and loss of companionship.

Medical Malpractice

Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and medication mistakes can change a life. These claims follow special pre-suit rules, so early legal help is critical.

Birth Injuries

A preventable birth injury can affect a child for life. We investigate delivery-room negligence and pursue compensation for lifelong care.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

Florida law holds dog owners strictly liable for bites in most situations, even without a prior history of aggression.

Plantation & Broward County Injury Statistics

Plantation sits in the middle of Broward County, one of the busiest parts of Florida. Accidental injuries are far more common than most people assume.

What the data shows:

  • Nationwide, unintentional injuries send tens of millions of people to emergency rooms every year and are a leading cause of death, according to the CDC.[8]
  • Florida recorded nearly 400,000 reported traffic crashes in 2023, the most recent full year published by the state.[1]
  • Those crashes left more than 3,300 people dead and roughly a quarter of a million injured statewide.[1]
  • Broward County alone sees tens of thousands of crashes annually, with more than 200 traffic deaths a year — and consistently ranks among Florida's worst counties for hit-and-run crashes and pedestrian deaths.[1]

Numbers like these are not just background. When an injury happens in a place the data already flags as high-risk, that history can become evidence the hazard was known and ignored.

What Is Your Plantation Injury Case Worth?

In 30 years of practice, I have never seen an insurance company's first offer be its best. They start low to see if you will fold.

The real question is not what the adjuster offers. It is what the evidence supports.

The attorney difference: a Nolo readers' survey found that people who hired attorneys recovered an average of $77,600, compared with $17,600 for those who handled claims alone.[3] The Insurance Research Council found a similar pattern, with represented claimants receiving settlements several times higher than unrepresented ones.

Goldberg & Loren Personal Injury Settlements

Goldberg & Loren's Plantation office is newly established, and we have not yet resolved a Plantation injury case.

The results below are personal injury settlements obtained by our senior partners, George Goldberg and James Loren, across the firm's national practice. One was a Broward County case in nearby Sunrise. They reflect how we value, investigate, and litigate serious-injury claims.

$1,750,000
Longview, WA · Auto Accident · 2024

A driver was lawfully proceeding through an intersection on a green left-turn arrow when a semi-truck failed to yield the right-of-way and violently struck his vehicle.

$1,200,000
Lebanon, OR · Wrongful Death · 2023

A family lost a loved one in a head-on collision. We proved the other driver was at fault by securing home security camera footage that showed our client was traveling lawfully in his own lane.

$950,000
Sunrise, FL · Pedestrian Injury · 2023

Our client was lawfully crossing in a marked crosswalk when a rideshare driver failed to stop and struck them. They sustained a broken pelvis and other severe injuries.

$750,000
Harpswell, ME · Catastrophic Injury · 2024

Our client, a passenger, suffered a traumatic brain injury and multiple fractured ribs when a commercial truck driven by an intoxicated driver violently rear-ended the car.

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is evaluated on its own facts. The settlements above were obtained by Goldberg & Loren attorneys and are personal injury matters from the firm's national practice. Attorney advertising.

What to Do After an Accident in Plantation: A Step-by-Step Guide

After 20,000 cases, I can tell you that the biggest mistakes happen in the first 72 hours. Here is exactly what to do, and what not to do.

  1. Get medical attention right away. Even if you feel fine, adrenaline masks injuries. Prompt treatment protects your health and ties your injuries to the accident. After a crash, Florida PIP also requires care within 14 days or it will not pay.[4]
  2. Report the incident. Call police to a crash; report a store or property injury to the manager and ask for a written incident report. For a traffic crash not investigated by police, file a written report within 10 days under Fla. Stat. §316.066.[7]
  3. Document everything. Photograph the scene, the hazard, the vehicle damage, and your injuries. Collect names and numbers of every witness before they leave.
  4. Keep your records. Save medical bills, receipts, and a simple journal of your pain and missed work. These details build the value of your claim.
  5. Do not give a recorded statement. You are not required to give the at-fault party's insurer one. Their adjusters are trained to get you to say something that reduces your claim.
  6. Do not sign a blanket medical records release. Insurers use your full medical history to argue your injuries pre-existed the accident.
  7. Call a Plantation personal injury lawyer. The insurance companies have teams working against you from day one. Our consultation is free: (954) 758-4553.

Why You Should Never Give a Recorded Statement to the Insurance Company

This is the single biggest trap I see Plantation injury victims fall into. It is one I know intimately, because I used to be the person on the other end of that phone call.

An injured man with a forehead bandage and his arm in a sling taking a call from an insurance adjuster after a Plantation, Florida accident

When I worked defense, I watched adjusters use recorded statements to take apart claims worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The adjuster calls within 24 to 48 hours of the accident, when you are still in pain and still shaken up. They sound friendly. They tell you the statement is "just routine." None of that is true.

Here is how it works. They ask you to describe your injuries. Two days after an accident you might say your back hurts but it is not that bad. Six weeks later an MRI reveals a herniated disc that needs surgery, and the adjuster has you on tape calling your injuries minor.

They will also ask about how the accident happened. If your answer leaves any room to argue you could have avoided it, they will use it to pin part of the fault on you. Under Florida's comparative negligence rule, every percentage point of fault they shift onto you cuts your recovery.[5]

You are under no legal obligation to give a recorded statement to the at-fault party's insurance company. When you hire Goldberg & Loren, we handle every communication with every insurer. In 30 years and 20,000 cases, I have never seen a recorded statement help a client.

Warning: Adjusters are trained to call within 24 to 48 hours, before you know the full extent of your injuries. Anything you say in a recorded statement can be used to reduce or deny your claim. If the adjuster is calling you, call us first.

Florida Personal Injury Laws You Need to Know

Statute of Limitations: 2 Years

Under Fla. Stat. §95.11, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida.[2]

This changed recently. House Bill 837, signed in March 2023, cut the deadline from four years to two for negligence claims. Some claims, such as medical malpractice and wrongful death, run on their own timelines, so confirm your deadline early. Miss it and your claim is permanently barred.

Modified Comparative Negligence

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation if you were partly at fault, as long as you were not more than 50% responsible.[5]

This is another HB 837 change. Florida used to follow "pure" comparative negligence, where even a person who was 90% at fault could recover 10%. Now, under Fla. Stat. §768.81, crossing 50% bars recovery entirely. Below that line, your award is reduced by your share of fault.

Florida's No-Fault System for Crash Victims

If your injury came from a car accident, Florida's no-fault system applies first. Your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays regardless of who caused the crash.

Under Fla. Stat. §627.736, PIP covers 80% of reasonable medical expenses and 60% of lost wages, up to the $10,000 policy limit.[4] One catch traps many crash victims: you must get initial medical treatment within 14 days, or PIP pays nothing.

The Serious Injury Threshold

No-fault does not mean a crash victim can never sue the at-fault driver. To step outside the PIP system and pursue that driver for pain and suffering, the injury must meet Florida's "serious injury threshold."

Under Fla. Stat. §627.737, that means a significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, a permanent injury, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or death.[6] Most other injury claims, such as slip and falls or dog bites, are not subject to this threshold.

Florida Key Statutes: Quick Reference

Below is a consolidated reference of the Florida statutes most relevant to a Plantation personal injury claim:

Statute Topic Key Detail
Fla. Stat. §95.11 Statute of Limitations 2 years from the injury to file most negligence lawsuits
Fla. Stat. §768.81 Comparative Negligence No recovery if more than 50% at fault; award reduced by fault share
Fla. Stat. §627.736 No-Fault / PIP $10,000 PIP; crash treatment required within 14 days
Fla. Stat. §627.737 Serious Injury Threshold Permanent injury required to sue a driver for pain and suffering
Fla. Stat. §316.066 Crash Reporting Written report within 10 days if a crash is not investigated by police
Fla. Stat. §768.73 Punitive Damages Generally capped at the greater of 3x compensatory damages or $500,000
Fla. Stat. §768.21 Wrongful Death Act Defines who may recover and what damages a family can claim

Who Is Responsible for Your Injuries?

Determining liability is where my defense-side experience becomes your biggest advantage. Insurance companies do not just evaluate fault. They engineer it.

They will twist the evidence to make you look partly responsible, because under Florida's comparative negligence rule, every point of fault they shift onto you cuts your recovery.[5]

Depending on how you were hurt, the parties who may be liable include:

  • A negligent driver — speeding, distracted, impaired, or running a signal
  • An employer — if the at-fault person was working at the time (vicarious liability)
  • A property owner or manager — for a dangerous condition, a wet floor, or negligent security
  • A business — including a bar or restaurant under Florida's dram shop law for unlawfully serving alcohol
  • A product or vehicle manufacturer — for defective parts, devices, or consumer goods
  • A healthcare provider or facility — for medical errors or nursing home neglect
  • A dog or animal owner — Florida holds owners strictly liable for most bites
  • A government agency — for dangerous road design, missing signage, or poor maintenance

After three decades of Florida injury cases, I can tell you the obvious defendant is not always the only one responsible, and the first insurance policy you find is rarely the last.

Types of Damages You Can Recover in Florida

Economic Damages

Economic damages cover your verifiable financial losses:

  • Medical bills, including emergency care, surgery, and hospitalization
  • Future medical expenses, such as follow-up care, physical therapy, and medical devices
  • Lost wages and lost income
  • Reduced future earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Rehabilitation and long-term care costs

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages compensate for losses that do not come with a receipt:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium
  • Disfigurement and scarring

For a car accident claim, you must clear Florida's serious injury threshold under Fla. Stat. §627.737 before you can recover non-economic damages from the at-fault driver.[6] Most other injury claims, such as slip and falls, are not subject to that threshold. Florida does not cap ordinary pain and suffering damages.

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are reserved for extreme conduct, such as a drunk driver with a very high blood alcohol level or an intentional act. They punish the wrongdoer rather than compensate the victim.

Under Fla. Stat. §768.73, punitive damages are generally capped at the greater of three times compensatory damages or $500,000. They are rare, but powerful when the facts support them.

Injuries We Commonly See in Plantation Injury Cases

Every injury is different, and how it affects your life drives the value of your claim. We handle cases involving:

A woman recovering at home with her leg in a cast and crutches nearby after a Plantation, Florida accident
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) — even a "mild" concussion can cause cognitive problems lasting months or years
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis — life-changing injuries that require long-term care
  • Fractures and broken bones — from hairline fractures to compound breaks needing surgery
  • Whiplash and soft tissue injuries — commonly dismissed by insurers but genuinely debilitating
  • Back and neck injuries — herniated discs, bulging discs, and nerve compression
  • Burns and disfigurement — from fires, friction, or defective products
  • Amputations — traumatic or surgical, requiring prosthetics and rehabilitation
  • Internal organ damage — liver, spleen, and kidney injuries from blunt force trauma
  • PTSD and emotional trauma — real injuries that deserve real compensation

If someone you love was killed by another party's negligence in Plantation, our team can help your family pursue a wrongful death claim for funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.

How We Build Your Case: Our Investigation Process

When you call our office, you do not get a call center. You get me or my team. I am involved in the Plantation cases we handle, and that is the point.

Here is how we build a winning claim:

  1. Immediate investigation. We move fast to photograph the scene, document conditions, and identify surveillance cameras before footage is overwritten.
  2. Evidence collection. Incident and crash reports, witness statements, cell phone records, maintenance and inspection records, and any available video.
  3. Expert analysis. For complex cases, we work with reconstruction engineers, safety experts, and medical specialists to prove exactly how the harm happened.
  4. Medical documentation. We coordinate with your doctors to fully document your injuries and project the cost of future treatment.
  5. Damage calculation. We account for every dollar: past medical bills, future care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
  6. Aggressive negotiation. Armed with evidence, we send a comprehensive demand to the insurer. We do not accept lowball offers.
  7. Trial preparation. Most cases settle, but the insurer needs to know we will take them to trial. James Loren has a long record of verdicts.

Insurance Company Tactics I've Seen From the Inside

I know how insurance companies fight injury claims, because I used to help them do it. Here are the tactics they will use against you, and how we counter each one:

  1. "We need a recorded statement." They do not need one, and anything you say will be used to shrink your claim. We handle all communication.
  2. "Sign this medical release." They want your entire medical history so they can argue your injuries pre-existed the accident. We provide only relevant records.
  3. "Here is our best and final offer." It almost never is. I have seen first offers that were a fraction of what we ultimately recovered.
  4. "You waited too long to see a doctor." They use treatment gaps to argue your injuries are minor. We keep your medical timeline airtight from day one.
  5. "You were partly at fault." Florida's comparative negligence rule lets them cut your payout by inflating your fault percentage. We push back with evidence.
  6. Delay, delay, delay. They know that the longer they wait, the tighter your budget gets. We have the resources to outlast them.

7 Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Plantation Injury Claim

  1. Waiting too long to get medical care. Gaps in treatment give insurers an opening to argue you were not really hurt. After a crash, waiting past 14 days can wipe out your PIP coverage entirely.
  2. Posting on social media. A photo of you smiling at a family dinner will be used to argue your injuries are not serious.
  3. Accepting the first offer. First offers are calculated to save the insurer money, not to make you whole.
  4. Giving a recorded statement without an attorney. Adjusters ask leading questions. One wrong answer can sink your claim.
  5. Failing to report the incident. Without an official crash or incident report, the insurer can dispute that the accident even happened.
  6. Throwing away evidence. Damaged property, the shoes you fell in, and photos of the hazard can all be critical proof. Keep everything.
  7. Waiting too long to file suit. Florida's two-year statute of limitations is firm, and it is shorter than it used to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Plantation, Florida?

You generally have two years from the date of the injury under Fla. Stat. §95.11. House Bill 837 cut this deadline from four years to two in March 2023. Some claims, such as medical malpractice and wrongful death, follow their own timelines, so contact an attorney within days, not months, to confirm your deadline.[2]

How much does it cost to hire a Plantation personal injury lawyer?

It costs you nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means our fee is a percentage of the recovery. We front the litigation costs and only get paid when you do. If we do not recover for you, you owe us no attorney fee.

What types of personal injury cases does Goldberg & Loren handle?

Our Plantation office handles the full range of injury cases: car, truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, slip and falls and premises liability, wrongful death, medical malpractice, birth injuries, and dog bites. If you are not sure your situation qualifies, call us — the consultation is free.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

A valid claim generally requires that someone owed you a duty of care, breached that duty through negligence, and caused you a real injury and financial loss as a result. That sounds simple, but proving each element takes evidence. The fastest way to find out is a free case review — we will tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth pursuing.

Can I still recover money if I was partly at fault?

Yes, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule under Fla. Stat. §768.81. Your award is reduced by your share of fault, and crossing 50% bars recovery entirely. Insurers routinely try to inflate your fault, which is exactly why you need an attorney.[5]

How long will my Plantation personal injury case take?

Many cases resolve within a year of the claim being filed. The timeline depends on your medical treatment, because we do not settle until you reach maximum medical improvement and we can value your full damages. A case that goes to trial can take longer. Most cases settle before a courtroom is ever needed.

Should I talk to the insurance company after my accident?

Be very careful. In 30 years of practice, I have never seen a recorded statement help a client’s case. Adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to minimize your claim. You are under no legal obligation to give the at-fault party’s insurer a recorded statement. Let your attorney handle every conversation. Call us at (954) 758-4553.

What is my Plantation personal injury case worth?

There is no single number. Your case value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills and future care, your lost income, and the available insurance coverage. What is clear from the data is that claimants who hire attorneys recover far more on average than those who handle claims alone.[3] A free case review is the fastest way to get a realistic estimate.

What if I was injured on someone else's property?

Florida property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. If you were hurt by a hazard the owner knew about or should have found and fixed — a wet floor, a broken stair, poor lighting, or inadequate security — you may have a premises liability claim. Report the injury, photograph the hazard, and get the names of any witnesses before you leave.

I spent my early years defending the insurance companies, so I know exactly how they treat injured people. Whether your case is a car crash, a fall, or a doctor's mistake, they delay, they shift the blame, and they hope you settle for less than you deserve.
