How we match your Boca Raton car accident case

When you submit a Boca Raton car accident matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A car accident matter needs someone who handles car accident work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Florida law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Florida who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

I-95, the Florida Turnpike, Glades Road, Federal Highway, and the Yamato Road interchanges carry heavy commuter and seasonal traffic through Boca Raton, and winter months bring visitors and part-time residents unfamiliar with the roads. Crash injury claims are filed in the Palm Beach County Circuit Court for larger cases, with smaller ones in county court, and Florida's no-fault insurance system means your own PIP coverage typically pays first before a claim against the at-fault driver. Fault is allocated between the drivers involved, so insurers work hard to shift blame. DearLegal matches you with a Florida-licensed attorney who handles car accident cases in Boca Raton, with a free review.

Most Florida car accident attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Car accident attorneys in Florida work on a contingency fee basis — typically 33% to 40% of the total recovery. The Florida Bar Rule 4-1.5(f) sets specific sliding-scale presumptions that your attorney will walk you through. Case costs are typically advanced by the firm and deducted from the final recovery.

Crashes on Boca Raton roads are handled in Palm Beach County, in county court or the Circuit Court depending on the amount claimed. Collisions just south of the county line go to Broward County. An attorney will confirm the venue and, where more than one is possible, which is better for your case.

Your own personal injury protection coverage generally pays initial medical bills regardless of who caused the crash, and there are time limits on getting treatment for that coverage to apply. Pursuing the at-fault driver for the rest depends on the seriousness of your injuries. An attorney can explain how both pieces fit together.

Florida divides responsibility among the people involved, so insurers routinely argue you contributed by speeding, following too closely, or changing lanes. Photos, dashcam video, and the crash report help push back. An attorney can gather that evidence before it disappears and confirm how the allocation rules affect your recovery.

Two years from the date of the crash under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a), shortened from 4 years by HB 837 in 2023. Claims accruing before March 24, 2023 retain the old 4-year window. Claims against state or municipal entities require notice under Fla. Stat. § 768.28.

Florida requires every driver to carry $10,000 in PIP coverage under Fla. Stat. § 627.736, which pays your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. To sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, you must meet the serious-injury threshold in Fla. Stat. § 627.737 — typically permanent injury, significant scarring, or death. And you must seek medical treatment within 14 days or PIP benefits are forfeited.
