Silver Injury Law Boca Raton Personal Injury Lawyer

Negligence can turn an ordinary day into the worst day of someone’s life. When another person’s carelessness leaves you injured, Florida law gives you the right to pursue full and fair compensation, but exercising that right is rarely simple. Insurance companies have adjusters and lawyers working to minimize what they pay. You are entitled to someone in your corner too.

Silver Injury Law has represented injured people in Boca Raton and throughout South Florida since 1993. Our attorneys handle your case personally, and your consultation with us is free.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our attorneys have represented injured parties in virtually every type of negligence claim, including:

What Compensation Can Cover

A successful personal injury claim can compensate you for economic damages, which are the tangible financial losses an injury causes: medical bills, the cost of ongoing treatment and future care, lost wages, and reduced ability to earn a living. It can also compensate you for non-economic damages, the harms that do not come with a receipt: pain and suffering, and the loss of the quality of life you had before the injury. In wrongful death cases, compensation may also address the profound losses suffered by surviving family members.

No two claims are alike. What your claim may be worth depends on the severity of your injuries, the strength of the evidence, the insurance coverage available, and how the claim is handled from the first days after the accident.

Florida Law Puts a Clock on Your Claim

Two features of Florida law make it especially important not to wait.

The statute of limitations. For most negligence claims arising after March 2023, Florida law allows just two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. That is half the time injured people used to have. Miss the deadline and the claim is almost always lost, no matter how strong it was.

Modified comparative negligence. Under current Florida law, if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault for your own injury, you recover nothing. If you are 50 percent or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your share of the blame. This rule gives insurance companies a powerful incentive to shift as much fault onto you as possible, which is exactly why what you say and do after an accident matters so much.

What to Do After an Injury

Get medical attention first, even if you think you are fine. Some serious injuries take days to show symptoms, and a gap in treatment is one of the first things an insurer will use against you. Document what you can: photos of the scene, names of witnesses, and copies of any incident report. Be careful what you discuss with insurance adjusters. Anything a victim says, does not say, or does after an accident can weaken his or her claim, and adjusters are trained to ask questions with that in mind. Before you give any recorded statement or accept any offer, talk to an attorney. The consultation costs you nothing.

How We Work

Silver Injury Law is a small firm by design. When you hire us, your case is handled personally by our attorneys, not passed to a back office. We conduct our own independent investigations, because the police report is not always the whole story, and we have found evidence and witnesses that the initial investigation missed. We prepare every case as if it may go to trial, which is often what it takes to get a fair settlement offer without one.

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, and your initial consultation is always free. We will give you a straight assessment of whether you have a case and what pursuing it would involve.

Palm Beach County and Throughout South Florida

From our office at 6100 Glades Rd #201 in Boca Raton, we represent injured clients throughout Palm Beach County and South Florida, including Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Wellington, Lake Worth, Pompano Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and Jupiter, as well as communities in Broward and Okeechobee Counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Your consultation is free, and we handle personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. We will explain exactly how fees and costs work in your case before you decide to hire us.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

For most negligence claims arising after March 2023, Florida allows two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Some claims have different deadlines, so the safest course is to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.

What if I was partly at fault for my accident?

Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are 50 percent or less at fault, you can still recover compensation, reduced by your share of the fault. If you are found more than 50 percent at fault, you recover nothing. That is one more reason to talk to a lawyer before accepting an insurer’s version of what happened.

What should I do in the first days after an injury?

See a doctor right away, keep records of everything, and be careful what you say to insurance adjusters. Do not give a recorded statement or accept an offer before speaking with an attorney.

How much is my case worth?

It depends on your injuries, the available insurance coverage, and the strength of the evidence. Be cautious of anyone who promises a number before understanding your case. We will give you an honest assessment at your free consultation.

Will my case go to trial?

Many injury claims resolve through settlement, but the strongest settlements come from being genuinely prepared to try the case. We prepare every case as if it may go before a jury.
