You shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden of an injury someone else caused. You deserve compensation to cover your medical care, recoup all your lost wages, and address future costs related to your injury.
Rosenberg & Rosenberg is ready to help. From our office on Hollywood Boulevard, we help injured people in our community win their personal injury cases. Call us today for a free consultation. We’ll listen to your story and explain the next steps. See for yourself how our Hollywood personal injury lawyers can help you, too.
Personal injury claims allow injured people to hold liable parties accountable for their losses. Between emergency care, surgery, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity from a permanent disability, an injury can upend every aspect of your life.
Our attorneys build cases that hold defendants responsible for your medical care, lost income, and other losses.
In one case, we represented a woman who slipped and fell in a puddle as she entered a restaurant. A leaky air conditioner caused the puddle. Our attorneys held the defendant accountable for the woman’s neck injury and recovered a $1 million settlement to cover her surgery and other losses.
In some cases, we’ll identify multiple insurance policies that may cover your injuries. We recovered over $4.6 million for a man who was struck by a vehicle as he crossed the street while visiting Florida. He suffered a permanent brain injury and required occupational aid and therapy. Our lawyers were able to locate multiple policies to achieve a multi-million-dollar settlement, providing our client with the funds to cover his care for the rest of his life.
Our goal is to help you recover from your injuries and protect your right to fair compensation.
We strive to treat every client like family. For our efforts, our past clients have rewarded us with a 4.8-star rating from nearly 1,000 Google reviews. Our testimonials page includes examples of what some of our past clients have said about working with our attorneys in a variety of types of cases.
We’re capable of handling a variety of types of injury cases, no matter how complex.
Call Rosenberg & Rosenberg today so we can review your case for free. Our law firm was founded to protect our community through hard work and a single-minded dedication to helping injury victims recover.
Every personal injury case requires proving negligence by establishing the following four elements:
Many of the people you interact with on a daily basis owe you a duty of care. For example, drivers on highways like I-95, major roads like Dixie Highway, or even small neighborhood streets have to operate their vehicle with care. Property owners all around Hollywood, from Young Circle to Hollywood Beach and everywhere in between, must exercise reasonable care to keep visitors from harm. And owners of dangerous dogs have to follow the laws set out in the City of Hollywood Code of Ordinances § 92.18.
In many cases, insurance companies dispute fault and blame injured people for their injuries. For example, one of our clients slipped and fell in water while in the stairwell of a building where he’d lived for over a year. He required surgery to treat his injuries. The insurance company argued he was running at the time of the accident and that the man’s dog caused the condition that led to his fall. We fought back and settled for $315,000.
It’s never been more important to establish negligence and fault. In 2023, the Florida legislature passed House Bill 837, a tort reform bill that changed Florida from a pure comparative negligence state to a modified comparative negligence state. Now, if you are 51% at fault or more for your accident, you are barred from recovering compensation.
Yes. After the passage of HB-837 in 2023, Florida Statutes § 768.81 still allows you to file an injury claim if you are partly at fault for your injury and losses. But even if you’re less than 51% at fault, any percentage of fault will be deducted from your settlement or verdict. If you’re 20% at fault, for example, and you have damages of $100,000, you’ll only recover $80,000.
Our attorneys investigate every case carefully. We start by listening to your story. We want to understand as much about your accident and injuries as possible so we can build a robust case that supports your right to compensation.
As we investigate your accident, we rely on important evidence that may include:
The process of filing a personal injury claim usually involves many different steps. Missteps can cause delays or jeopardize your case. Work with a law firm that can retrieve the evidence and documents you need to prove the defendant’s liability and get the compensation you deserve.
Our personal injury attorneys manage all aspects of filing a claim, including but not limited to:
In some cases, personal injury cases go to trial. In Broward County, civil disputes of less than $50,000 are handled by Broward County Civil Court. Civil disputes of $50,000 or more are handled by the Circuit Court. Broward County is in the 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida.
While we make every effort to resolve personal injury cases out of the courtroom, we will be prepared to represent you at trial if necessary. Our goal is to achieve a settlement or verdict that covers all your losses.
You might need significant compensation after an injury to regain your financial stability and get medical care to treat your injuries. A personal injury claim might be the only available avenue to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Typically, personal injury cases will include these two types of damages:
Florida’s tort reform in 2023 also shortened the time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit from four years to two years. In Florida, a two-year statute of limitations applies to most personal injury cases. The statute, found at Florida Statutes § 95.11, begins on the date of the injury or the date when your loved one passed away. If the two-year deadline passes and you have not filed a lawsuit, you may be barred from filing except in certain circumstances.
You should also know that some time limits may be much shorter than two years. For example, if the defendant is a government entity such as the Hollywood Public Works Department, timely notice must be given prior to filing a lawsuit consistent with the Florida laws governing Sovereign Immunity.
Rather than assuming you have years to take legal action, talk to the accident lawyers from our firm as soon as possible.
At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, we educate our clients about what to expect during the claim process. To help you begin your legal journey with more confidence, we have compiled a list of common mistakes made by claimants and their loved ones when pursuing their legal rights.
Ten common mistakes you should avoid when filing an injury claim are:
Don’t make these mistakes. Work with our lawyers to avoid unnecessary delays and fight back when insurance companies undervalue or deny your claim. There is no fee unless we win your case.
To make our legal counsel available to more people, our lawyers charge contingency fees for personal injury cases. This means we are only paid attorney fees if we win a settlement or award. You can pursue compensation without having to pay upfront attorney fees.
The contingency fee is a portion of your final settlement or award, with the exact percentage depending on the type of case and whether litigation was involved. All fees are in accordance with Florida Bar regulations.
