Boca Raton's Unique Injury Risks
Boca Raton sits at the intersection of Palm Beach and Broward counties — meaning injury cases here can involve courts, insurance adjusters, and defense attorneys from two different jurisdictions. Our firm has experience navigating both.
The Glades Road and Yamato Road I-95 interchanges are among the most accident-prone in Palm Beach County. Boca's dense retail environment — Town Center Mall, Mizner Park, and Federal Highway — also creates elevated slip-and-fall and negligent security risks.
We litigate cases in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court in Palm Beach County and the 17th Judicial Circuit Court in Broward County for clients in the Boca Raton area.

Frequently Asked Questions — Boca Raton Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Boca Raton?
Under Florida's 2023 tort reform, most personal injury claims now have a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident. Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years of the date of death. Medical malpractice has a 2-year discovery rule with a 4-year absolute repose. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim.
Does Florida's no-fault law affect my Boca Raton car accident claim?
Yes. Florida requires all drivers to carry PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance covering 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages up to $10,000, regardless of fault. To sue the at-fault driver for additional damages, your injuries must meet Florida's serious injury threshold — permanent injury, significant scarring, or death.
Which court handles my Boca Raton personal injury case?
Claims over $50,000 are filed in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court in West Palm Beach, or at the South County Courthouse in Delray Beach. For clients near the Broward County line (Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach), cases may be filed in the 17th Judicial Circuit in Fort Lauderdale.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault for my Boca Raton accident?
Under Florida's modified comparative fault law (effective 2023), you can recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover. An attorney can help minimize the fault attributed to you.
