Boca Raton Car Accident Lawyer
Maximum Compensation. No Win, No Fee.
Palm Beach County recorded 25,286 crashes, 15,973 injuries, and 154 fatalities in 2025. When a negligent driver adds you to those numbers, Shiner Law Group builds an evidence-backed case and fights every insurer tactic to put maximum compensation in your hands — not theirs.
What You Need to Know About Boca Raton Car Accident Claims
Attorney David Shiner walks through what to do immediately after a crash in Boca Raton, how Florida's no-fault PIP system affects your claim, and why the insurance company's first offer is almost never your best option. Watch before speaking to any adjuster.
Car Accidents in Boca Raton — Who Pays, and How Much
Boca Raton sits at the intersection of three of South Florida's most heavily traveled traffic corridors — I-95, the Florida Turnpike, and US-441/Congress Avenue — all carrying daily volumes that place Palm Beach County consistently among Florida's highest-crash counties. Add Glades Road, Military Trail, and Federal Highway, and you have a road network where 25,286 crashes occurred in 2025 alone, injuring nearly 16,000 people and killing 154.
Most car accident victims in Boca Raton face the same challenge: an insurance company whose financial incentive is to pay as little as possible. Florida's complex no-fault PIP system, modified comparative negligence rules, and two-year statute of limitations create a legal landscape that insurance adjusters know far better than most accident victims. Having an experienced Boca Raton car accident attorney from the first phone call is not just helpful — it is often the difference between a fair recovery and a settlement that doesn't cover your medical bills.
At Shiner Law Group, we handle every type of car accident claim in Boca Raton and throughout Palm Beach County — from straightforward rear-end collisions to complex multi-vehicle crashes involving commercial trucking companies, DUI defendants, and uninsured motorists. Our attorneys know every common insurer tactic, every local road and intersection, and every Florida statute that affects your recovery.
No upfront cost, ever. Shiner Law Group handles all car accident cases on a strict contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win compensation for you. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation — available 24/7.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Boca Raton — Steps That Protect Your Claim
The actions you take in the first minutes and hours after a crash determine the strength of your injury claim. Follow these steps exactly.
Call 911 and Stay at the Scene
Florida law requires you to remain at the scene. A police report documenting the crash is foundational evidence — make sure the officer takes statements from all witnesses before leaving.
Get Medical Care Within 24 Hours
Florida's PIP coverage requires medical treatment within 14 days to activate — but internal injuries and spinal trauma can worsen rapidly. See a doctor within 24 hours and document every symptom.
Photograph Everything at the Scene
Vehicle damage, license plates, road conditions, traffic signals, skid marks, visible injuries, and the crash location from multiple angles. Your phone photos may be your most important evidence.
Get All Driver and Witness Information
Name, license number, insurance card, and contact information from every driver. Names and phone numbers from every witness — they often leave quickly. Note the badge number of any responding officer.
Do Not Give a Recorded Statement
The other driver's insurer will call quickly and request a recorded statement. Decline politely. These statements are used to establish admissions that minimize your recovery. Contact Shiner Law Group first.
Call Shiner Law Group Before Accepting Anything
(561) 777-7700 — we preserve dashcam footage, vehicle black box data, and surveillance recordings immediately. Free consultation, 24/7. You pay nothing unless we win.
Getting your police report in Palm Beach County: The responding agency may be Boca Raton Police, Palm Beach County Sheriff, or Florida Highway Patrol depending on crash location. Reports are available through the responding agency's records division or through Florida's crash portal at flhsmv.gov. As an involved party, you may obtain your report earlier than the general public under Florida's public records rules.

Florida Laws That Affect Your Boca Raton Car Accident Claim
Florida's car accident legal framework is unique — understanding these three laws is essential before speaking to any insurance company.
Florida No-Fault / PIP Law
Florida requires all drivers to carry $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, which pays 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages regardless of fault — but only if you seek treatment within 14 days of the crash. PIP covers your first $10,000. For serious injuries beyond this threshold, you pursue the at-fault driver's liability insurance through a personal injury claim.
Modified Comparative Negligence
Florida's modified comparative negligence law (2023) allows you to recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the crash. Your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage — but insurance adjusters routinely overassign fault to minimize payouts. Shiner Law Group's attorneys contest every unfair fault assignment with objective evidence.
Statute of Limitations
Florida gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit, and two years from the date of death for wrongful death claims. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim — no exceptions. However, critical evidence disappears in days, not years. Contact Shiner Law Group immediately so preservation actions can begin.
Boca Raton Car Accident Types — Dedicated Pages for Every Scenario
Every crash type has unique liability factors, evidence requirements, and legal strategy. Our sub-pages go deep on each — covering causes, evidence, Florida law, and maximum recovery approach.
01Rear-End Collision
Tailgating and distracted drivers — the most common crash type in Palm Beach County. We prove liability and fight soft-tissue injury undervaluation.
02T-Bone / Side-Impact
Side-impact crashes at Boca Raton's busiest intersections — some of the most severe injuries in door-zone impacts. We prove right-of-way violations.
03Head-On Collision
Among the deadliest crash types — combined closing speeds produce catastrophic injuries. We pursue maximum compensation including wrongful death.
04Hit-and-Run
6,596 hit-and-runs in Palm Beach County in 2025. We identify fleeing drivers and maximize UM coverage recovery when they can't be found.
05Distracted Driving
Phone records, dashcam footage, and vehicle telematics — we document exactly what the driver was doing instead of watching the road.
06Speeding Accident
I-95, Glades Road, and Military Trail are Boca Raton's most dangerous speeding corridors. Speed equals severity — we prove it with accident reconstruction.
07Multi-Vehicle / Pileup
Multiple at-fault drivers mean multiple insurance policies — and higher total recovery. We map every liability source in complex pileup scenarios.
08DUI / Drunk Driving
Florida law allows punitive damages against DUI drivers. We pursue every dollar — compensatory, punitive, and dram shop liability.
09Uninsured Motorist
1 in 5 Florida drivers has no insurance. We fight your own insurer to maximize UM/UIM recovery and identify every other liability source.
10Wrong-Way Accident
Wrong-way crashes on I-95 are almost always DUI-related and catastrophic. We pursue punitive damages, FDOT liability, and every available policy.
11Intersection Accident
Red-light camera footage disappears in 30–60 days. We serve preservation letters immediately and build the fault case that intersection disputes require.
Boca Raton's Most Dangerous Roads & Intersections
Boca Raton's road network was designed for a population that has since tripled. The result is a series of high-speed arterials, complex interchanges, and heavily used intersections that generate disproportionate crash volumes — each with specific patterns that our attorneys know well.
I-95 through Boca Raton (Exits 44–48) is the county's deadliest corridor — high-speed lane changes, aggressive merging at the Glades Road and Yamato Road interchanges, and distracted highway driving combine to produce severe crashes daily. The 6-mile segment through Boca Raton sees rear-end, sideswipe, and wrong-way crash incidents that are disproportionately fatal.
Glades Road from I-95 to Military Trail is Boca Raton's primary east-west arterial — a high-speed, heavily signalized road where T-bone crashes at major intersections and rear-end crashes in peak-hour congestion are the dominant crash types. The Glades Road/Military Trail intersection is among the highest-crash intersections in Palm Beach County.
Military Trail running north-south through all of Boca Raton carries enormous mixed traffic — commercial vehicles, delivery trucks, and commuters competing for space at dozens of signalized intersections. Left-turn crashes and rear-end collisions in shopping center access zones are the most common incidents on this corridor.

Insurance Companies You May Deal With — and What They Don't Want You to Know
Every major insurer operating in Palm Beach County uses the same playbook: delay, deny, and minimize. Understanding their tactics is the first step to defeating them.
State Farm
Florida's largest auto insurer — known for aggressive comparative fault assignments and slow medical payment approvals
GEICO
High volume of Boca Raton claims — quick lowball settlement offers designed to close claims before full injury scope is known
Progressive
Sophisticated claims systems that use recorded statements to build comparative fault cases against claimants early
Allstate
Known for using its "Colossus" claims software to systematically undervalue soft tissue and pain & suffering damages
USAA
Primarily serves military families — reputation for fair dealing but still employs standard delay and minimize tactics on larger claims
Travelers
Common insurer for commercial vehicles in Palm Beach County — aggressive defense of truck and delivery vehicle claims
Liberty Mutual
Frequently disputes causation in rear-end and soft-tissue claims — requires comprehensive medical documentation to overcome
Nationwide
Uses early recorded statement requests to lock in claimant accounts before they understand their full injury picture
The most important thing to know: When you file a claim, the insurance company opens a file and their team starts building a defense — before you've spoken to an attorney, before you know the full extent of your injuries, and before you understand your rights. Shiner Law Group levels this information asymmetry from day one. Call (561) 777-7700 before giving any insurer a statement.
