Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Lawyer
Broward County records over 100 accidents every single day. When a negligent driver, property owner, or corporation injures you, Shiner Law Group fights to recover every dollar you’re owed — medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. No fee unless we win.
What Fort Lauderdale Injury Victims Need to Know
Broward County records over 101 accidents every single day — and insurance companies are ready from the moment a crash happens. Shiner Law Group explains how Florida’s no-fault PIP system works, why the first 24 hours after an injury determine the strength of your claim, and exactly what to do — and what not to say — before speaking to any insurer.
Watch before making any statement to an insurance company or accepting any settlement offer.
Why Fort Lauderdale Is One of Florida’s Most Dangerous Places to Drive
Fort Lauderdale is part of one of the two most accident-prone counties in Florida. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Broward County recorded 36,871 crashes in 2025 — an average of more than 101 accidents every single day — resulting in 210 fatalities and thousands of serious injuries.
The combination of heavy tourist traffic, year-round warm weather, congested highways, Florida’s no-fault insurance system, and a high rate of uninsured motorists creates a perfect storm for accident victims. Fort Lauderdale holds the alarming distinction of being the second most dangerous city in the United States for pedestrians, and nearly 30% of all crashes are hit-and-runs — leaving victims without immediate help or a clear path to compensation.
If you were injured on Fort Lauderdale’s roads, you have rights — and Shiner Law Group knows how to enforce them. Our attorneys understand Broward County courts, local insurance tactics, and how to maximize your recovery in every type of personal injury case.
Time is critical. Florida’s statute of limitations gives you two years to file — but critical evidence disappears within days. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, vehicles get repaired, and witnesses move on. Call (954) 999-9900 immediately to preserve your case.

Fort Lauderdale’s Most Dangerous Roads
Knowing where crashes happen most frequently helps — but when you’re injured on any of these roads, Shiner Law Group knows how to build your case in Broward County courts.
I-95 Corridor
High-speed, high-volume — one of the deadliest highways in America. Heavy commercial truck and commuter traffic year-round through the heart of Fort Lauderdale.
I-595 / I-75 Exchange
Complex interchanges and sustained high speeds make this one of Broward’s most crash-prone stretches, particularly involving commercial trucks and lane-change collisions.
US-1 / Federal Highway
Dense commercial corridors, pedestrian crossings, and heavy turning traffic from businesses create constant collision risks along this major north-south artery.
Broward Boulevard
A major east-west artery with high accident frequency at intersections throughout Fort Lauderdale — particularly dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.
Sunrise Boulevard
Heavy retail and pedestrian traffic near Sawgrass Mills and Las Olas increases accident risk, especially at poorly-timed intersections and unmarked crossings.
A1A Coastal Corridor
Tourist congestion, cyclists, pedestrians, and distracted drivers create year-round accident risks along Fort Lauderdale’s famous oceanfront boulevard.

Day-One Evidence Preservation
We act immediately to secure surveillance footage, vehicle black box data, police reports, and witness statements before evidence is overwritten, lost, or destroyed. In Fort Lauderdale, we know which intersections have cameras and how to get the footage.
Handle All Insurance Communications
Insurance adjusters begin working against you the moment a claim is filed. We immediately take over all communication with every insurer — yours and theirs — so nothing you say is used to minimize your recovery.
Pursue Maximum Compensation
We pursue every available category of damages — past and future medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage — refusing low settlements that don’t reflect your full losses.
What to Do After an Accident in Fort Lauderdale
1. Call 911 & Stay at the Scene
Florida law requires you to remain at the scene of any accident involving injury, death, or significant property damage. A police report is foundational evidence — make sure the officer documents all witness statements before leaving.
2. Seek Medical Attention Within 24 Hours
Florida’s PIP insurance requires treatment within 14 days to activate. But from an evidentiary standpoint, seek treatment within 24 hours. Gaps in treatment are exploited by insurance companies to argue injuries weren’t serious.
3. Do Not Give a Recorded Statement
The at-fault party’s insurer will call quickly and ask for a recorded statement. Decline politely. These statements are designed to create contradictions that minimize your claim. Contact Shiner Law Group first — always.
4. Document the Scene Immediately
Photograph vehicle damage, license plates, road conditions, traffic signals, skid marks, and your injuries from multiple angles. The photos you take at the scene are often the most powerful evidence in your case.
Beware of quick settlement offers. In Fort Lauderdale’s high-volume crash environment, insurers often make fast, lowball offers to close claims before victims understand their full injuries. Never sign anything or accept any offer without speaking to a Shiner Law Group attorney first.
Time-Sensitive Warnings
Florida PIP, Comparative Fault & Your Rights in Fort Lauderdale
Florida’s legal framework for personal injury is complex. Understanding it helps — having Shiner Law Group navigate it is essential.
No-Fault PIP Coverage
Florida requires $10,000 in PIP that pays 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages regardless of fault — but requires treatment within 14 days. For serious injuries, you pursue the at-fault party’s liability coverage beyond PIP.
Modified Comparative Fault
You can recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurers routinely over-assign fault to victims — Shiner Law Group counters these assignments with evidence.
2-Year 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. Waiting diminishes evidence quality — act now.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Florida’s high rate of uninsured drivers makes UM/UIM coverage critical. When an at-fault driver has no insurance, your own UM coverage provides protection. We identify and pursue all available coverage sources.
