Personal Injury Lawyer in Pompano Beach, FL

How Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Help With My Claim?

Our lawyers can guide you through the legal process while you focus on recovering your health. Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s dedicated legal team has experience handling a wide range of claim types, including:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

There were over 16,000 injury crashes in Broward County in 2023, according to Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). If you are in a traffic crash, you have a legal right to seek compensation from the at-fault party. Our team handles collisions involving:

• Passenger cars and vans
• Trucks
• Motorcycles
• Bicycles
• Pedestrians
• Rideshare vehicles

Our car accident lawyers can compile evidence to prove fault, build an insurance claim, and negotiate with insurance companies. If necessary, we are prepared to fight for your rights at a jury trial.

Work Accidents

Most injuries that occur on the job are covered under Florida’s workers’ compensation laws. Our workers’ compensation attorneys can explain eligibility requirements and help you determine whether you qualify for workers’ comp. If so, we can help you file paperwork and appeal unfair denials, if necessary.

If workers’ comp does not cover your losses, we can explore other options, including third-party injury claims against those responsible.

Premises Liability Claims

We manage premises liability claims for those injured on another person’s property in accidents like the following:

• Slip and falls: Over 3,800 older Floridians passed away from fall-related injuries in 2021, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These incidents, including falls from heights, can also occur at the workplace.
• Dog bites: Pompano Beach’s Code of Ordinances § 90.32 lays out specific rules for owners of dangerous dogs to follow. Failure to obey these laws could make the owner legally liable for injuries their dog causes.
• Swimming pool accidents: Since Florida is warm year-round, the risk of drowning and other injuries is always present.

Our legal team works to prove that the property owner knew about the danger on their property and failed to adequately address it. Then, we hold them and other at-fault parties fully accountable for the injuries you suffered.

Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical providers have a legal obligation to diagnose and treat patients within the standard of care for their field. When a physician or other medical professional fails to meet their duty of care, the patient has the right to seek damages through a medical malpractice claim.

Our malpractice attorneys have supported many injured patients through legal proceedings and pursuit of compensation. We are here to pursue the compensation you deserve for injuries caused by a medical professional’s negligence.

Wrongful Death Claims

If you lost someone to negligence, our wrongful death attorneys can seek justice for your loved one and compensation to cover related expenses. We understand that no monetary award can make up for your loved one’s loss. Our goal is to help you cover the unexpected costs related to your loved one’s passing so you can take the time you need to grieve and heal.

A wrongful death claim lets close family members recover burial expenses, funeral costs, medical bills, loss of income, and loss of services, among other damages. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can explain more whenever you are ready to begin.

Do I Have Grounds to File a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury is defined as any damage suffered by a victim because of someone else’s negligent or willful actions. To file a personal injury claim against the responsible party, therefore, you must prove that they were negligent. 

Our lawyers are well-versed in Florida’s laws and requirements for establishing liability. When we examine your claim, we look for the following elements of negligence:

• Duty of care: The at-fault party owed you a duty of care. This may be a driver’s duty to obey traffic laws or a doctor’s duty to treat patients to a specific standard.
• Violation of duty: The at-fault party violated the duty of care. Perhaps the other driver ran a red light, or the doctor failed to perform appropriate diagnostic tests.
• Causation: The at-fault party’s violation of duty caused you to become injured or ill. For instance, you sustained injuries in a car accident, or you became seriously ill because of your doctor’s missed diagnosis.
• Damages: You sustained losses such as medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering because of the at-fault party’s failure to fulfill their duty of care.

These standard elements of negligence can look very different for each personal injury claim. To receive a clear assessment of your claim, contact Rosenberg & Rosenberg today. We will review your case details at no cost and provide an honest explanation of your rights and options.

Can I Do Anything to Help With My Claim?

While our personal injury attorneys can manage all the legal aspects of your claim, there are some steps you can take to protect your right to fair compensation:

Get Injury Treatment

Your doctor may instruct you to use assistive devices, attend follow-up appointments, or undergo physical or psychological therapy. Follow the doctor’s orders to protect your health and legal right to compensation. If you miss appointments or fail to undergo treatment as advised by your physician, the insurance company could use this information to reduce your financial settlement.

Avoid Posting About the Injury on Social Media

Even if your account is set to private, information you post on social media could be used as evidence against your claim. Avoid posting about your case online, and consider whether certain activities or behaviors could compromise your case. When in doubt, ask your attorney before you post.

Consult With Your Lawyer About Official Statements and Agreements

Insurance companies frequently offer low settlements that don’t cover the full scope of the injured person’s losses. Your legal team can review documents—including agreements, official statements, and waivers of liability—to ensure you do not compromise your legal right to fair compensation. Avoid agreeing to anything, either verbally or in writing, until you consult with Rosenberg & Rosenberg.

Contact an Attorney as Soon as Possible After Your Injury

Timing is a critical consideration when filing a personal injury lawsuit. Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years, but the time frame can vary depending on your case. By contacting us as soon as possible, you give our attorneys a better chance of gathering time-sensitive evidence and building a case before the statute of limitations runs out.
