Boca Raton Car Accident Attorney
// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Car Crash Lawyers in Boca Raton
Florida’s sunny weather, beautiful beaches, and bustling tourism industry make it a busy state for traffic, which unfortunately means it is also a hotspot for car crashes. Kanner & Pintaluga has lawyers conveniently located in Boca Raton who are ready to take on your case. Don’t let Florida’s no-fault laws fool you into assuming you have no recourse against the other driver after they cause your crash. There are many scenarios in which you may still be able to pursue the negligent driver for damages. Our trial attorneys are committed to aggressively pursuing the compensation our clients deserve.
Common Causes of Car Crashes in Florida
There are a variety of factors that frequently cause car crashes in Florida, many of which are rooted in driver negligence and carelessness. In our extensive experience serving Boca Raton and clients throughout Florida, we’ve found some of the most common accident causes to be:
- Distracted Driving: This includes anything that takes the driver’s attention away from driving – using a cell phone, eating, talking to passengers or even adjusting the car radio.
- Drunk Driving: Despite strict laws, drunk driving remains a significant problem, leading to fatal accidents and severe injuries.
- Speeding and Reckless Driving: Florida's long, straight roads may tempt some drivers to speed or drive recklessly, leading to devastating accidents.
- Weather Conditions: Although Florida is known for its sunshine, it also experiences heavy rain, which can make roads slippery and visibility poor, increasing the risk of crashes.
Why Insurance Companies Aren't on Your Side, Even in a No-Fault State Like Florida
Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning that after most traffic accidents, an injured person’s own insurance policy will provide compensation for medical expenses, regardless of who was at fault. However, this doesn’t mean that insurance companies are necessarily on your side.
Insurance companies are businesses. Their primary goal is to minimize payouts and maximize profits. This can result in insurance adjusters offering less compensation than what you might be entitled to or even denying claims outright. They might also delay processing claims, putting car accident injury victims under significant financial stress.
Ways in which a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help with Your Claim
A skilled personal injury attorney can be a game-changer in car crash injury cases. They can:
- Help you understand the complexities of Florida's no-fault laws and guide you through the claims process.
- Compile and analyze evidence, including medical reports, witness testimonies and accident scene photographs, to build a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf, greatly increasing the likelihood you receive fair compensation for your injuries.
- Litigate your case if a fair settlement cannot be reached outside of court.
Common Auto Accident Injuries in Boca Raton
The most serious car crash injuries are normally associated with high-speed, violent collisions of vehicles. The truth is any auto accident in Boca Raton can potentially result in serious injuries, with treatment costs far exceeding your PIP policy limits. Some of the more common injuries that justify pursuing litigation in Boca Raton car crashes include:
- Head injuries
- Spine injuries
- Internal injuries
- Broken bones

Types of Car Accidents
Car accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, and they can take many forms. Some of the most common types we handle include:
- Rear-End Collisions: These occur when a vehicle hits the one in front of it, often due to distracted or reckless driving.
- Side-Impact Collisions: Also known as "T-bones," these happen when one vehicle hits the side of another, often at intersections.
- Head-On Collisions: These are the most dangerous types of car crashes and can result in fatal injuries when two vehicles collide front-to-front. They often occur when a drowsy, distracted or drunk driver crosses the center line or goes the wrong way on a highway.
- Hit and Run Accident: If a driver causes an accident and then leaves the scene, it's classified as a hit and run.
- Multiple Vehicle Accidents: In instances where more than two vehicles are involved, determining liability can be complex. In some cases, more than one driver may share fault in the crash.
Why It's Helpful to Work with a Trial Lawyer on Your Claim
Not all personal injury attorneys are trial lawyers, but hiring one who has experience in the courtroom can provide significant advantages.
Even though most car accident cases settle out of court, preparing each case as though it’s going to trial keeps insurance companies on their toes and often leads to better settlement offers. If an agreeable settlement cannot be reached, a trial lawyer won’t hesitate to take your case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Additionally, trial lawyers have extensive knowledge of courtroom procedures and can provide you with experienced and effective representation if your case proceeds to trial. Their proven negotiation skills can ensure you receive a fair and just settlement or court award.
Car crash injuries can cause significant physical, emotional, and financial hardship. At our Boca Raton law firm, we understand these challenges and are committed to fighting for the rights and compensation of our clients.
