Fort Lauderdale Accident Facts

Why Broward County 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 Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), 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, and Florida's no-fault insurance system 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 any of 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.

Fort Lauderdale's Most Dangerous Roads

I-95 CorridorHigh-speed, high-volume — one of the deadliest highways in America. Heavy commercial truck and commuter traffic year-round.
I-595 / I-75 ExchangeComplex interchanges and high speeds make this one of Broward's most crash-prone stretches.
US-1 / Federal HighwayDense commercial corridors, pedestrian crossings, and turning traffic create constant collision risks.
Broward BoulevardA major east-west artery with high accident frequency at intersections throughout the city.
Sunrise BoulevardHeavy retail and pedestrian traffic increases accident risk, especially near Sawgrass Mills and Las Olas.
Oakland Park BoulevardOne of Broward's busiest surface roads with numerous intersections and cyclist/pedestrian exposure.

Who Can File a Personal Injury Claim in Fort Lauderdale?

If you were injured due to someone else's negligence — a driver, property owner, employer, or company — you likely have the right to pursue compensation. You do not need to prove 100% fault; Florida's comparative negligence rules allow you to recover even if you were partially at fault.

  • You were injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident in Broward County
  • You were injured as a pedestrian, cyclist, or passenger
  • You slipped, tripped, or fell on someone else's property
  • You were injured by a defective product
  • You were a victim of a hit-and-run (uninsured motorist coverage may apply)
  • Your injuries meet Florida's serious injury threshold to step outside no-fault
  • A family member was killed due to negligence (wrongful death claim)

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases

Get answers about personal injury claims in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Under Florida Statute § 95.11, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is strict — missing it almost always bars you from recovering any compensation, regardless of how serious your injuries are. However, there are limited exceptions (such as cases involving minors or delayed injury discovery). Do not wait. Contact Shiner Law Group today for a free case review.
Florida is a no-fault insurance state, which means your own PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage pays up to $10,000 in medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. However, if your injuries are serious — permanent injury, significant scarring or disfigurement, or death — you can step outside the no-fault system and sue the at-fault driver for full damages including pain and suffering. Our attorneys evaluate your case to determine the best path forward.
Take these steps immediately:

1. Call 911 — Always get a police report, even for minor accidents.
2. Seek medical care — Go to the ER or urgent care even if you feel fine. Some injuries don't appear for hours or days.
3. Document everything — Photos of the scene, vehicles, injuries, road conditions, and weather.
4. Get witness information — Names, phone numbers, and license plates.
5. Do NOT admit fault — Not to the other driver, not to police, not to insurance.
6. Call Shiner Law Group — Before you speak to any insurance adjuster. What you say can be used against you.
Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured drivers in the country. If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, if you have it. UM claims are often contested by your own insurance company. Shiner Law Group handles UM claims aggressively to make sure your insurer pays what you're owed. Hit-and-run accidents can also qualify under UM coverage.
Every case is different. The value depends on factors including: the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, the impact on your daily life, and the available insurance coverage. Cases involving catastrophic injuries — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or permanent disability — typically command significantly higher compensation. At Shiner Law Group, we work with medical experts and economists to build the strongest possible valuation of your claim.
Nothing upfront. Shiner Law Group works on a contingency fee basis — No Win, No Fee. You pay zero attorney fees unless and until we win compensation for you. Your initial consultation is completely free and confidential. There is no financial risk to getting your case reviewed today.
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are 50% or less at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages — though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you could recover $80,000. Insurance companies often try to inflate your percentage of fault to reduce their payout. Having an experienced attorney protects you from this tactic.
