Delray Beach draws people out of their cars: onto Atlantic Avenue’s restaurant blocks, onto A1A’s cycling corridor, into crosswalks and parking lots. That is part of the city’s charm, and part of why its injury cases look different from the rest of Palm Beach County. Bruce Silver and the team at Silver Injury Law have represented Delray Beach injury victims since 1993, from our office a short drive south in Boca Raton. Your consultation with us is free.

When Should You Call an Attorney?

Sooner than most people think, and always before you accept an insurance company’s offer:

  • After any car accident: even a seemingly minor crash can justify a claim, and the other driver’s insurer will not volunteer to cover everything
  • When an injury is serious or permanent: lost mobility, lasting conditions, and long recoveries raise the stakes beyond what anyone should negotiate alone
  • When a settlement is offered quickly: early offers tend to arrive before the full cost of an injury is known, which is precisely why they arrive early
  • When negligence takes a life: surviving family members may have a wrongful death claim, and deadlines apply

The Insurance Company Is Not Waiting

Florida gives most negligence victims just two years from the date of injury to file suit, and its modified comparative negligence rule means every percentage point of fault an insurer can pin on you comes straight out of your compensation, with nothing recoverable past the 50 percent line. Insurers understand both rules very well. The sooner your side of the story is documented, with evidence gathered while it still exists, the harder it is to shift blame onto you later.

From Atlantic Avenue to I-95

Delray Beach’s busiest corridors produce a steady stream of injury cases: downtown Atlantic Avenue with its heavy foot traffic and nightlife, the I-95 interchanges, Federal Highway, Linton Boulevard, Congress Avenue, and Military Trail. Intersection collisions are a particular local pattern, and many of the injury cases we see here involve pedestrians and cyclists. Wherever it happened, the questions are the same: who owed you a duty of care, and did they breach it?

Decades in Palm Beach County Courtrooms

Silver Injury Law are experienced litigators, and that matters more than it might sound: insurers price their settlement offers based on whether a firm actually tries cases. Bruce Silver has represented injury victims here for over 30 years, and we prepare every claim as though a jury will see it. We work on a contingency-fee basis and will explain exactly how fees and costs work before you decide anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a lawyer for a minor accident?

Often, yes, at least for a consultation, which costs nothing. Injuries that seem minor at the scene can develop over days, and what you tell an insurer in week one can limit what you can recover in month six.

The insurance company already offered me money. Should I take it?

Not before someone reviews it against the full picture of your losses, including future treatment and lost earning capacity. Once you accept and sign a release, the claim is over, even if your condition worsens.

How much time do I have?

Two years from the date of injury for most Florida negligence claims arising after March 2023, with different deadlines for some claim types. Waiting also costs evidence: scenes change, footage gets overwritten, and witnesses move.
