Boca Raton Car Accident Lawyers
I-95 at Glades. Palmetto Park at Federal. The Yamato interchange at rush hour. Boca Raton's crashes have addresses we know by heart — because our headquarters is minutes from all of them. Injured by a negligent driver? Shiner Law Group has recovered $500+ million for injured Floridians, with no fee unless we win.
Injured in a Boca Raton Car Accident?
Boca Raton's road network funnels enormous traffic through a handful of pressure points: I-95's four local interchanges, the Glades Road retail corridor feeding Town Center, downtown's Federal Highway and Palmetto Park intersections, and Military Trail running the city's spine. Add season, tourists, and one of Florida's largest senior driving populations, and collisions are constant — rear-ends in stop-and-go, T-bones at signals, and high-speed wrecks on the interstate.
After the crash comes the system: Florida's no-fault PIP pays initial benefits only if you begin treatment within 14 days; serious injuries unlock a liability claim against the at-fault driver; and every insurer involved works to minimize what they pay — recorded statements, quick lowball offers, and comparative-fault games designed to shave your recovery under Florida's 50% bar.
Shiner Law Group handles Boca crashes from our headquarters on Congress Avenue — evidence preserved fast, every policy found (including the UM coverage that saves underinsured cases), and full valuation of what the crash actually took from you. You pay nothing unless we win.
No upfront cost, ever. Every case is handled on a strict contingency fee. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation, available 24/7 from offices across Florida.

What to Do After a Crash — Step by Step
The steps you take in the first hours and days can make or break your claim.
Get to Safety and Call 911
Report injuries and request police at the scene. The crash report documents key facts - and what you tell the officer for that report is protected by Florida's accident report privilege.
Photograph Everything
Vehicles, damage, plates, skid marks, debris, traffic signals, and your visible injuries. Wide shots and close-ups both help.
Exchange Information & Identify Witnesses
Names, phone numbers, insurance and license details - and contact information for witnesses. Note nearby businesses that may have camera footage.
Seek Medical Care Right Away
Same day if possible. Prompt treatment protects your health - and for crash victims using PIP benefits, Florida requires initial treatment within 14 days.
Do Not Give a Recorded Statement
Decline recorded statements and do not sign anything from the other side's insurer before speaking with an attorney.

Florida Car Accident Law: What Boca Drivers Must Know
Three rules decide Florida crash claims — and all three have traps.
PIP & the 14-Day Rule (Fla. Stat. § 627.736)
Your own policy's $10,000 PIP pays initial medical benefits regardless of fault — but only if you seek treatment within 14 days of the crash. Delay costs you the benefit and hands the defense a gap-in-treatment argument.
Serious Injuries Unlock Full Claims (Fla. Stat. § 95.11)
Beyond PIP's threshold — significant and permanent injuries — you can pursue the at-fault driver for all damages including pain and suffering, within Florida's two-year deadline.
UM/UIM: The Coverage That Saves Cases
Florida leads the nation in uninsured drivers. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policies fills the gap — and stacking can multiply it. We map every policy in your household.

Slow responses and repeated document requests while bills and pressure build
